Ax ANSWER to the COmmon Objections to Chinese
Testimony, and an earnest Appeal to the Leg
islature of California for their protection 'by
our Law. By Rev. Speer.
Mr. Speer was Missionary of the Foreign Board
of the Presbyterian Church, to China, and after
wards •to the Chinese in California; and may,
therefore, be supposed to be deeply interested in
this people, and prepared also to speak of them
intelligently. But still he may have taken only
a partial view of a great question. If the Chi
nese, in coming to this country, should embrace
Christianity, there would be no difficulty in know=
bag: how to treat them; but if they come as
heathens, and abide as heathens, and especially
if they are to be among us in great and vastly
increasing numbers, the matter is important in
the extreme, and is encumbered with many diffi
culties. In person and property they should be
"protected, most_ certainly; but to give them the
full rights of citizens, we should hesitate. We
are a Christian people, and are bound to maintain
our. Christian institutions. Mr. Speer argues his
cause ably, but has failed to convince us, as yet,
of the rectitude of his position.

This is another, of. our Board's issues, and
marks progress in their work of adapting their
publications to the necessities of all classes of
the community. • The intention of the work is
mainly the benefit of the colored population in
the South. The author, at the time of writing,
was pastor of a church embracing over four hun
dred colored communicants. He hence could
sympathize with this class of people, and had an
opportunity of fitting his work to their edifice
. tion. We should think masters„ in the absence
of a minister, to attend to the instruction of their,
' sometimes, very large households, would find this
book to be an admirable auxiliary in the dis
charge of duties which are incumbent on every
one who bears the responsibility of a control over
his fellow-men.
THE HISTORY OF THE DECLINE AND FALL OF THE
BOMAN Emrras. By Edward Gibbon.. Abridged.
Incorporating the researches of recent Com
mentators. By William Smith, L.L.D., Editor
of the Classical and Latin Dictionaries, &0.,
Mustrated with one hundred engrav
ings on wood. 12m0., pp. 677. New York:
Harper Brothers, Franklin Square. 1857.
For many years past we have earnestly desired
to see a condensation of Gibbon's great work,
like the volume lying before us. We are glad
that Dr. Smith has undertaken it, as there are
few living writers better qualified to produce
such an abridgment of "The Decline and Fall,l
and at the same time to incorporate such inci
dents as modern research has accumulated with
the materials which the industry and genius of
Gibbon had collected and moulded into the monu
ment which he left behind him. There are three
things about this book which add materially to
its value. In the first place, no place has been
given in it, to any portion of the unrelenting,
sneering skepticism of Gibbon. The hatred of
Gibbon to Christianity displayed itself wherever
it' was possible, and in a manner which, with
many minds, is wondrously telling. Many can
meet an argument who cannot bear up under a
sneer, and this was the instrument whioh the in
fidel usually wielded. In the second place ; Gib
bon's work has never been illustrated as it should
have been., When the Decline and Fall appeared,
it would have been considered derogatory to the
majesty of a great historian to have hinted that
the engraver should render his labors more intel
ligible and useful than even his pen had made
them, by giving specimens of the architecture,
coins, dress, and-objects of social interest which,
prevailed among the people whose career was un
folded by the author. Happily a better day has
arrived, and now we can enjoy, in the perusal of
one volume, the instruction which the traveler,
the antiquarian, and the historian were accus
tomed to preserve in their respective departments.
This is especially the case with Text books for
schools and academies of a high order. The
book before us is exceedingly rich in this
department—quite as rich as the History of
Greece, -by Dr. Smith, which we reviewed in
most favorable terms, when it appeared. In the
third place, Gibbon's work is so voluminous that
few young persons had the courage to master it.
Even in classical academies it was considered a
fair achievement if students made themselves fa
'miliar with a history of Greece and of Rome, while
the English scholar made a leap over several cen
turies, and went on with the history of England,
the American pupil, making even a greater leap,
and beginning with the discovery of this Conti
nent and the settlement of the, Colonies. Here,
however, in some six hundred 12mo. pages, the
reader is conducted over the wondrous story of
the breaking up of the great military empire of
Rome, and the- formation of the leading powers
of modern Europe, including the appearance of
the Normans, the Turks, the Mongols,' the Bul
garians, the Hungarians, Rtissians, and the other
nationalities which are standing out among the
European races of the present day. We hope
that the publishers will advertise this admirable
work very freely, as it is most desirable that it
should speedily be introduced as a Text book-into
all:our High Schools, Academies, and Colleges.
BOAT-LIFE IN EGYPT AND NUBIA. 'By William
C. Prime, author of " Tent Life in the Holy
" The Old House by the. River," &c.,
&c., 12m0., pp.,498. New York: Harper
Brothers. 185.
The reader of this book follows M. Prime
with unceasing interest, over every page of the
volume. It is one of the most readable narra
tives of an Egyptian pilgrimage which we have
ever perused. Mr. Prime's object is not to dis
play a profound acquaintance with the past, but
his style is lively and sufficiently dramatic and
conversational to make the reader intimately ac
quainted with the scenes _ and characters which
travelers are sure to meet in the land of the Pha
viola'. He ascended the Nile to the second cata
ract; and explored every object of interest on. his
way, which he describes with great clearness ;
while at times his narrative displays an unusual
capacity for stirring up the depths of the soul,
by a few pointed sentences. The book is well
supplied with illustrations, and the only thing
which we think is wanting, is a map. We hold
that all books of travel should be thus furnished;
for though maps of Egypt are plentiful, still ev
ery tourist should let, at least, a page , of his book
.present to the eye a picture of hisjourney. Mr.
Prime's book will form an excellent Summer
manual for the frequenters of our watering places
during the approaching hot season.

THE BIRTHRIGHT.—GEN. XX, : 19-34:
In the one hundred and fortieth year of
the life of Abraham, Rebekah arrived from
Mesopotamia, and entered the tent of Sarah,
who had now been dead three years. The
faith of Abraham was, however, tried
twenty years, before he saw any advance of
his house by literal descendants. Mean
while, his family may have increased.
Others may have received the seal of the
covenant. But slowly, very slowly, did his
race, in the line of the promise, indicate
the multitude which had been named in the
stipulations of the covenant of God with
him. At length, however, Rebekah is the
joyful mother of twin sons. The eldest was
called Esau. He was "red, and hairy like
a garment." Though the personal appear
ance of Jacob is not described, yet we may
suppose that it was nearly the reverse of
this, fair and smooth. • The character of the
two boys, as they grew up, to manhood, was
developed, as might have been predicted by
those who saw them in infant years. The
one loved the chase, and associates such as
he could find•among the Hittites, who made
their home in the wildest mountains beyond
the streams of Arabah. The other loved
home, and a settled and quiet life.
It had now become a custom, that' the
eldest son took The father's place and honor,
unless by special arrangement of Providence
to the contrary. Abraham's regard for
Ishmael, (Gen. xvii : 18,) Joseph and
Jesse's conduct a few ages later, (Gen.
xlviii : 18 ; 1. Sam. xvi : 6,) together
with the intention of Isaac in regard to his
eldest son,, (Gen. xxvii : all show
this. But God seems • often to have set at
naught what might •to man seem best in the
nature of things. The youngest, oftener
than the eldest, has been the son that gave
Bible renown to the father. Abel was the
younger of the named sons of Adam, till
Seth was born to take his place. Shem
was,
in the family of Noah, what Abel was
in that of Adam. ' Abraham was the
youngest of Terah's sons. Isaac was not
the beginning of his father's strength.
Jacob might, therefore, hope to break this
custom, formed by man, to make the eldest
eon the heir. Rebekah knew that this
would be the case, (v. 23,) but she seems
either to have concealed her knowledge of
God's choice of Jacob from her husband,
or he, in the fondness of his attachments
for his eldest son, did not give credence to
her words. Possibly Isaac) may have been
so occupied with flip affairs 'of his numerous
family, that till after the death of his
tether, which took place when his sons
were fifteen years old, and till the troublons
times with the Philistines were ended in the
treaty of Shebah, (Gen. xxvi : 26-33,) he
had but little time to notice the traits of
youthful character which had confirmed to
the mother the prediction that the younger
would be preferred to the elder. The
youthful Jacob, too; with his love of the
tent and of home, may have been an apt
scholar of the aged Abraham, while his
elder brother was away in the field watching
the favorite haunts of the stag or the ante
lope. These things united, may have led
Jacob to hope for, and greatly to desire to be,
heir to Canaan, and to the blessings promised
of God to Abraham's seed, (Gen. xvii : 8.)
This, too, may have led, him to delight in
agriculture, which his father about this
time was engaged in, to some extent, (Gen.
xxvi : 12,) and of which he reaped the
profits in an abundant supply of food, not
only for his own wants, (v. 30,) but for
those of his wearied and famishing brother.
Though the grant is now without doubt
given to man to feed on flesh, as well as
grainy yet the approved and most profitable
occupations of men ha;ve changed since the
days of Abel. Jacob is encouraged to till
the soil, in Niew of a settled home ; • and by
his home-labor, he finds means to purchase
the birthright which he has so long and so
ardently desired.
We are not informed •of the time when
Jacob made this private bargain with his
brother, to yield to him the right of priority
in age ; but shortly after Esau's marriage to
his two Hittite wives, is as likely a time as
any other. Jacob would be encouraged by
the difficulties this created in the family,
(Gen. xxvi : 35,) for they "were a grief
to," or, as the Septuagint has it, " they
quarrelled with Isaac and Rebekah." Esau,
too, may at first have so prided himself in
his honorable affinity with this warlike
tribe of Mt. Seir, that he cared little for
the flocks and wealth of his father • and
even despised them, if he, as a part , of the
arrangement, must stay within the limits of
Canaan proper.
To present Esau's true position, it may
be interesting to the reader to introdluie to
their especial notice his two wives, which
were both from the same powerful tribe of
Hittites, (Gen. xxvi : 34; xxxvi : 20 ;
Dent. ii : 120' who dwelt in what was after
wards. called Idurnma. Judith, his chief,
or celebrated wife, as the name imports,- was
the daughter, of Beeii. She is afterwards
named (Gen. xxxvi : 2,) Aholibamah, or
tent of the height, still to denote her posi
tion ; and is said to be the daughter of
Anah, and the great•granddaughter of.
Seir (Gen. xxxvi : 20-24.) Her father
may at first have been called Beeri, from
hie, residence, North of Mt. Hor, (Num.
xxi : 16,) which still retained this name in
the age of Moses. She seems, ((den. xxxvi :
25, 29, 30,) like the daughters of Zelophe
ad, (Num. xxxvi 2,) to have had an in
heritance with her brother, and, as the head
of a tribe, to have given her father's name
to it, till it is lost in the ascendency of her
husband's family, (Gen. xxxvi : 40-43,)
and in the extinction of the .name and race
of her father, except as perpetuated through
her in the Idum,ean people.
Esau's other wife, which he married at
thii time, was Bashemath, a daughter of
Elon, who belonged to the same tribe, but
who was not a man of such prominence as
Anah. As her name was changed from
Bashemath, the fragrant one, to Adah, the
adorned one, (Gen. xxxvi 2,) perhapsshe
rose in the respect of her husband, as in-'
deed she deserved to do, being the mother
of' Eliphaz ' and through him of Teman,
Omar, and Kenaz, names which afterwards
figure sulargely in history. Her old name
THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER kiND A.DVOCATE.
is (Gen. xxxvi : 3,) given to Mahalath, the
sister of Nebajoth, (Gen. xxviii 9,) whOm
Esau married thirtyfive years after she be
came his second wife. This third wife was
taken, as her name imports, (Gen. xxviii :
partly to harmonize his father's feelings to
his own, and partly, perhaps, that he might,
if he needed it, have the aid of Ishmael's
sons against his brother.
It may be difficult to understand, if Esau
had two wives at the time he sold his birth
right, how he was placed in circumstances
which seem to compel him to ask food of
Jacob. Why not go to the tents of his
wives. Perhaps they may, owing to diffi
culties (Gen. xxvi : 35,) in the house of
Isaac, have returned, for a time, to their
people. But if they were in their tents,
the same reasons which would induce a son
not to go to his mother's tent, would induce
a husband to avoid meeting his wives, when
returning from the chase, which was more
pleasant than profitable to him, and more
fascinating to himself than to those who
must look to him for a supply of 'the neces
saries of life. To this may be added the
probability that he either had been on a
general hunt in the country of Seir, and•
was notiexpected home; or if only out for the
day, that he would find nothing prepared in
his own tents, as his wives would wait' to,
sup with him, on his venison. Thus,
pressed by hunger, and prompted by the
concurrence of other circumstances, he, on
the spur of the Moment, strikes a bargain
with his brother to yield his place as the
eldest son.
It is likely that the birthright which Ja
cob so much desired, was'Jipecial covenant
relationship to God, or the headship of the
Abrahamic covenant. This Esau despised',
(Gen. xxv: 34,; fhb. xii 16.) But,
when he found afterwards that the heir of
this was the heir of his father's wealth and
earthly honor, he then sought repentance,
(Gem xxvii ; 38 ;) but it was now , too, late.
For near thirty-five years he had despiiied
what' Jacob was all the time aiming after.
Never did he see his folly till he saw his
brother in possession of the blessings of
the right he had despised and sold. God
has given them to his brother, and has left
him to the way of his own choice.
Reader, be not too ready to censure Esau for
his folly.' Perhaps you are acting as he did.
You despise religion in your search for hap.
piness by wealth and honor ; but When you
find yourself destitute of what you have
sought and another- has found, you- then
would seek piety for •the sake of its
result: This, however, will come only to
those who have it added as an appendage
to that which they have loved and sought
after, as the great object of life.

The Watchful Mother.
We once sent a Sunday School book by a
lady patient of ours, as a present to her little
daughter. On inquiring afterwards how
she liked it—" Indeed, doctor, I did not
give it to her, as I halm not yet ,had time
to read it myselj:" That mother soon
passed away,. and doubtless to the better
land, and long years have passed away also,
but we have never failed to admire that
mother's heart as often as the remembrance
of her ceaseless vigilance has occurred to
us, accompanied with the earnest wish, that
all parents should emulate that mother's
care. Up to the age of fifteen at least,
and as long after as affection for the
parent will prevent the child from doing
anything contrary to the known wishes of
father or mother, no book should be read
by a child without the parent's permission.
Impressions are made for life, for eternity,
on the mind, and heart, and ,memory of
childhood—impressions which mould 'the
character for aye, or open up channels- of
thought which fix. the destiny.
Untold mischief has been done to the•
minds and morals of the young,by reading
books' on " Physiology" so-termed, causing
apprehensions which have acted as a cease
less torture to multitudes, until by consul
tation with honorable physicians, the ground-
less apprehensions have been removed,
which had been excited by plausible falsi
ties and brazen-faced untruth&
Equal care should be exercised as to the
religious, moral, and miscellaneous reading
of the young. Very few of our daily
penny papers are fit to be read at the
family fireside. Certainly not one in a
dozen of all city weekly papers, not con
nected with a daily issue, but is charge
able justly with being made up with- the
veriest trash, to say nothing of their fre
quent obscenity; their slang, their spiteful
hits at religion, its ministers, its piofesscirs,
and the Bible itself.
A drop of water will ultimately wear
through the solid rock, and drop by drop
will empty the ocean; and so is the influence
of the repeated exhibition of bits of sarcasm,
and infidelity, and profanation, which por
tions of the press are steadily throwing out.
Not only are the minds of the young inju
riously affected by these things, but persons
of maturity, of intellect, of mental culture,
will suffer by them.—Hall's Journal of
Health.
To Cleanse the Inside of Jars.
There is frequently some trouble in cleansing
the inside of jars that have had sweetmeats
or other articles put in them for keeping,
and that when empty, were wanted for fu
ture use. This can be done in a few min
utes, without scraping or soaking, by filling
up the jars with hot water, (it need not be
scalding hot) and then stirring in a tea
spoonful or more of pearlash. Whatever
of the former contents has'remained stick
ing upon the sides and bottom of the jar
will immediately be seen:to disengage itself,
and float loose through the water. Then
empty the jar at once h and if any of th'e for
mer odor remains about it, fill it again with
warm water and let it stand undisturbed a
few hours, or till the next day; then empty
it again and rinse it with cold water.
Wash phials in the same manner. Also the
inside of kettles or anything which you wish
to purify or clear from grease expeditously
and completely. If you cannot conveniently
obtain pearlpsh,-the same purpose may be
answered nearly as well by fillincr. the vessel
with strong ley, poured off clear from wood
ashes. For kegs, buckets, crocks, or other
large vessels; ley may be always used..
Simple Butter Cooler.
Melted butter is all very well in its right
place, but when butter is put upon the: tea
or breakfast table having the appearance of
being just out of the oven, it is anything
but creditable to the housekeeper, and far
from satisfactory to those who eat it. Dry
toast is positively spoiled if spread with soft
butter; indeed, if butter cannot be brought
to table at least firm, if not hard; it is better
to keep it away altogether. Fortunately,
however, it is not necessary to proceed to such
desperate measures, Als butter can be kept
nice and cool in the hottest weather, and
that in a very "simple manner. Procure a
large, new flower-pot of a sufficient size to
cover the butter-plate, and also a saucer
large enough for the flower-pot to rest in up
side down ; place a trivet or meat-stand (such
as is sent to the oven when a joint is baked)
in the saucer, and put on this trivet the
plate of butter; now fill the saucer with
water, and turn the flower-pot over the but
ter, so that its bottom edge will be below
the water. The hole in the flower-pot must
be fitted with a cork; the butter will then
be in what we may call an air-tight cham
ber. Let the whole of the outside of the
flower-pot be then thoroughly drenched with
water, and place it in as cool a 'spot as you
can. If this be done over night, the butter,
will be as " firm as a rock" at breakfast
time; or, if placed there in the morning,
the butter will .be quite hard for use at tea
hour. The reason of this is, that when
water evaporates it produces cold ;Abe
por
ous pot draws up the water which in warm
weather quickly evaporates from the sides,
and - thus cools it, and as no warm air can
now' 'get at the butter, it becomes firm and
cool in the hottest" daY.—Scientific Ameri

PRESERVING Fun.—A solution of alum
and corrosive sublimate applied to far, keeps
it from coming off. An ounce of corrosive
tmblimate and an ounce of alum are dis
solved in a pint of, rain water, and this is
applied to the roots of the fur, with a sponge,
and if possible it should be applied to• the
inside of the fur. This solution applied to
fir capes, victorines, &e., before they are
laid' by. ituing warm weather, it is said, will
effectually, prevent the attacks of moths.
Many valuable articles of fur are destroyed
every season by moths; if such articles are
treated as described,, then hung up to dry
in a room for a few days, they may then be
wrapped in glazed linen, and. laid by with
perfect safety. The corrosive sublimate
being'i virulent poison, is the grand protec
tive. It must be kept out of the .reach of
children and' thoughtless persons.--Scientfic

Dr Herbert's Daughter.
It WM Saturdtv eve, and the study lamp
burned brightly in the office of Dr. Herbert,
while the coal glowed, cheerfully in the pol
ished grate. But the manly form which
was seated in that easy-chair, heeded neither
the light, nor the heat; but sat with bowed
head and clasped hands, in deep and anx
ious thought. It was , not the cares of a
large and prosperous bisiness, nor the duties
of his profession, which so harassed the
mind and furrowed the brow of this pious
and intelligent physician. No; it was the
solicitude of a Christian and a father which
stirred the deep feelings of his soul; his
daughter Caroline, so long the subject of
faithful instruction and earnest prayer, was
still a stranger to renewing grace.
She was in her twentieth year; beautiful,
accomplished, and talented,. But though
yielding respect to the externals of religion,
her heart'refased its allegiance to its Divine
Author. From her earliest childhood she
had manifested aversion to the humbling
doctrines of the Cross; and as she advanced
to a youth of
. uncommon mental proinise,
her disrelish fer spiritual things grew more
apparent and decided. She had early lost
her mother, but her father was a man of
warm and fervent, piety; and though sub
ject to the calls of an arduous and exapting
profession, he was not unmindful of his
daughter's spiritual welfare. His counsels
and prayers were aided by the instructions
of her pastor; but neither seemed to make
any impression upon the _ heart or con
science of Caroline. Her habitual courtesy
prevented her from treating her Christian
friends with rudeness; but it was evident
that their efforts were unwelcome.
During the last Winter, there had been
in the church with whom Dr. Herbert wor
shipped, an interesting work of grace. But
from its very commencement, Caroline had
braced herself to resist its influences. She
had, indeed, a conviction of the truth and
reality of religion ; and she cherished, also,
a vague idea that she must and should be
come a Christian ere she died ; but she was
not ready now. She loved the world too
well fo 'it. In the Society of gay
pmpanions, in,the display
.of her many as
comphiliments, and in'the literary pleasures
which she so highly prized, she found a sat
isfaction which she imagined far superior to
the joys.of the humble Christian.
In this outpouring of the Holy Spirit, her
chosen companions one after another listened
to the voice of conscience and of God ; but
Caroline remained unmoved. At first they
sought their young friend, saying, "Come
thou with us, and we will do thee good!'
But she quietly avoided them, and./ thus
escaped their entreaties and remonstrances.
Her father, seeing that all direct efforts
for her salvation awakened her hostility to
the truth, resolved to desist for the present,
and commit the case to a covenant-keeping
God. This was the subject which so
weighed down his heart, and which drove
him to his pastor, that they might unite
their prayers at the throne of grace. At
the parsonage, he learned that a distinguish
ed preacher was to occupy the pulpit on the
morrow—a man whose profound knowledgo
of human nature and skill in adapting truth
to the consciences of his hearers, it was
hoped might make an impression upon' the
closely-guarded heart of Caroline.
The Sabbath came; and with it the man
of God from whose ministrations so much
was hoped. But the young lady, suspecting
that an arrow was especially intended for
her roused herself to unwonted ' resistance;
and for the first time in her life absolutely
refused to accompany her father to the
house of God. In vain he reasoned with
and entreated her; she would not go; and
saying with a bitterness that stung her father
to the heart, that he was "sick of hearing
all this nonsense _ about religion," she re
treated to the library to_ spend the hour of
worship in reading. Ere he left the IkollB+3,
her father. once more sought her; and offer
ing her his Bible, in which he had marked
some passages for her perusal, he entreated
her to read them with careful attention.
His persistence in bringing before her the
unWelcome subject, developed the hidden en
mity of her heart. Flinging the Book of
Godlrom her, she exclaimed, "I hate the
Bible. I shall read a novel if I can find
one."
In sorrowful silence her father left the
house; and Caroline commenced her search
for a work of fiction to while away what she
felt to be a weary hour. Upon the topmost
shelf of the family book..case, amid a heap
of worn' and disused books, she spied the
volume which she sought. But in taking it
down, a torn and stray leaf, belonging to a
very different book, fluttered from the shelf,
and fell to the carpet at her feet. She care
lessly raised it, and glanced at its upturned
page. It was a fragment from the worn-out
Testament of her school-days; and the
words which met her eye were, " They hated
me without a cause."
Words. of 4eeper import never flashed_
upon a human soul. Caroline started as if
an arrow bad pierced her. Had the meek
and persecuted Son of God, w'hose Spirit she
bad resisted, and whose messengers she bad
refused to hear, spoken with an audible
- voice, with personal application of the
charge to herself, it could hardly have deep
ened her conviction. She felt that she.was
full of enmity against Christ and the religion
which he came to establish; and she knew,
that she had no cause for this hatred. All
that a God of mercy had done to bless and
save her, rose in rapid review before her;
and the review of her base returns of indi
ference, ingratitude, and neglect, smote
her with a sense of hdr exceeding vileness
and guilt.' The Holy spirit, whose saving
influences she had so persistently shunned,
had followed her to, her hiding-place. The
"word," against which she had closed her
ears, had, "like a two-edged sword," pierced
" even to the dividing asunder of soul and
spirit," and proved "a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart" In the
light of truth, now flashing its torch _into
the hidden recesses of her heart, she saw
herself a guilty and condemned sinner, and
felt that the wrath of God was resting upon
her.
• When her father returned from church,
he found her prostrate in the anguish of
, her soul, seeking that mercy so long slighted.
With the prodigal's confession, " Father, I
I have - sinned against heaven, and in thy
I sight," she besmight his forgiveness, and his
[ intercession at the throne of grace. • And
when he was permitted to rejoice over her
as one who had been "lost," but now was
"found," the language of his heart was,
"Not by might, nor by power, . but by MY
SPIRIT, saith the Lord of hosts."—Ameri
can Messenger. ,
The Largest Half to God.
"Mother," asked a little boy who was
trying to make a good beginning of the new
year, fr how much of my spending-moneY do
you think I ought to give to God ?"
"I do not know," said his mother; "how
much' have you ?" He opened his wallet
and dropped it on the table, a gold dollar
his grandmother gave him for a Christmas
present, a three cent, and a five cent piece.
" There 's my gold dollar; halve that,"
he . said ; "three cents and five cents are
are eight cents, and half of that is four.
No. .Pll give the largest haft to God.
give him half the dollar and the five
cents." How many Christians are following
this child's example, and giving their
largest half to God.?
The Needle.
Boys sometimes think ittakes a great deal
of drilling to make them men. They. wish
they could get out of the shackles. Perhaps
it 'does. But how many things do you sup
'pose have to be done .to a bit of steel wire
before it - makes that simple little'tool called'
a needle, and puts it into the,Markee? Can
you guess ? Seventy; yes, seventy processes
are necessary in the manufacture of a needle.
Can you wonder,,then, that "in making a
man of you," you 'are subjected to a 'great
many hard rubs? It is this drilling which
strengthens and weighs and teinpers and pol
ishes you for manly work -in the world.—

Fiteh's system of treatment.
The combination of remedial measured adopted bp.*.
Fitch and Dr. Sykes has been so amply tested, and so *band
antly proved to be in practice all that it claime to'be in
theory, that its originators doubt hesitate to assert, that by
their system; relief may be obtained in all cases not abso.
lutely beyond the reach of remedies. • -
By this plan of treatment, the advantage of Medicinal
and Sthenotrophic Inhalations is added to that of appropri
ate internal remedies, to renovate and sustain the strength
of the general system, and these with such Mechanical
means as the case may indicate, joined to Proper attention
to exercise, diet, bathi friction, &a, de., will , not only
afford more or less relie f' almost. all casen;'but Will effect
permanent curds in many cased, in which onlrartial and
temporary relief could be obtained from a ny one of the
above metunnes singly. But although many otherwise fatal
cases of consumption may be thus relieved, there are still
many which have passed beyond hope; and those who are
in any way inclined toe disease so basidions, and so fearful
ly final as consumption, mourn be too careful to give their
asses timely attention. The delay even, of a few weeks may,
in many cases, turn the scale against the patient.
where it is possible, we always prefer to make.apersena
examination, and thus ascertain the precise condition of the
Lungs as we wish to undertake no asse where we have not
