R is good.] God is our refuge in distress— Oar safeguard in the wilderness, Our shelter from the storm; Though wind's and waves a conflict make, Though earth's foundations reel and shake, We need not feel alarm. A peaceful river softly flows In tranquil streams to gladden those Who put their trust in God ; Within his holy place they feel 'e comfort of his presence still, While oceans roll abroad. What though the heathen madly rage,', And kingdoms itilaiee war engage, When God sends forth his voice; lie makes , pe ilitteriag spear to bend, Sends peace to earth's remotest end, And `bids, the werld rejoice. Be still,' and know thtit'be is God.; He rules the earth with iron rod, And sits enthroned aboie; Re dwells With those who own his name, The 13Fod Of Jacob still the Same— The God of peace and love. xittottptiiii . :.:-.-?::: BOOKS sent'to nal for Protier i csiillhe duly attended to.

Not that the stones set up was literally the gate to glory, nor that the Church was a literal foundation of the truth, but that as God in the Church and through her has mainly revealed him self to the world, so she becomes the repos itory of the oracles of God. She holds the truth as in a reservoir, and exhibits it as upon a pillar; for "the word of Jeho vah goes forth from Jerusalem, and the law from Zion." In our luve for the Bible as a revelation from heaven, in our zeal for the true glory of the God of the Bible, and in our abhor rence to Anti-Christ, which would give part of the Ministry and intercession of the Re deemer to created angels, and which would place a visible . and a historically fallible Church where the inspired Oracles alone should be placed, let us riot forget that the visible Church, fallible.'beeause necessarily manifested 'in erring Man, has still, in her hand a grand commission in regard to the word , of the Lord. Jacob felt this as .he rescilrom sleep. at %Luz to consecrate the place where be had rested as a Bethel. SO T will revery sinner feel pit, on whose darkened minikGodehas'cairsed to. 'shine the light of the'. lorfous Gospel.: • It appears somewhat unnatural, after the distinct prOmise of. God of the %novenant blessings of Abraham,that Jacob should, introduce his vow with an " if." `'"lfGod shall be with• me," ,ete. Bat. the. force of the - particle here 'rendered " if," `may-lad the same ai3 in" : 34, " Surely (or, : 4) he mune*" etc:. Or it may be translated, as in Is. .liii : 10,'" " When . (since) thou shalt make his soul," etc.. The vow of Jacob then reads thus : "Sure ly the - Lordfwill be . with me then shall the Lord be my God," etc. This , giVes an' expression of 'full confidence in God's faith-- fulness, 'and a determination to act accord-, ingly. • . The principal part of the vow of Jacob consisted in the resolve to make the stone pillar God's house, and 'to-give a, tithe of, his , wealth to God., The altar. service put into his ,hand by his. birthright privileges, and by his special covenant relation to the God of his fathers, enabled him fully to carry into effect .this part..of his vow. The stone altar; .on.whichlay Ike 'bleeding .vic tins,' and around Which stood the devout worshippers, constitutedthe most acceptable temple, though i the„encompassing heavens alone , formed. its walls. and covering. And though he found no Melehiaedek, nor regu-, lar. line of priests, to acce.pt,the tenth of the substance with which the Lord, yearly, blessed him ; yet he would find no lack of opportunity for give this, and even more, to the cause of God. The teacher of `religion, would.be supported by his, liber , ality. Who can :'successfully deny that Jcob, thus, in . a part. at least, gathered the great company (Gen. xxiv with Which he returned to his father's house. The poor would need alms. His wealth, too, might be given, as to his brother Esau, to show that, as a ser vant of 'God, he was for peace. But the richest benefit wetild be to himself. Selfish ness, by his vow to tithe his income, would be curbed.- ,The love of wealth, which often drives men to be monomaniac, would be kept in proper.bounds. • Enjoyment, which flows to man formed for society,. would be greatly increased, as' the heart would go out with the tithes scattered 'to make others happy. What is true of Jacob has always been true. It is Wise still for men' to make and fulfill such vows. forikt'SabW.

A celebrated character, who was surrounded by enemies, used to remark : "They are sparks which, if you do not blow, will 'go out. themselves." Let this be your, feeling while, endeaVoring to live down the scandal of those who are bitter agairst you. If you= stop`' to dispute,' you do but as they desire, and open the *ay for_ more abuse." Let the peer fellows talk—there will be a reaction, if you perform but your duty, and hundreds who were once alienated from you, will flock to you and acknowledge their error. Responsibility of Subscribers. 1.. `Subscribers wile do not kiiv - express notice, to the contrary, are conSidered as wishing t,) continue , their subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the disdontinu ance of their papers, the-publisher may con tiitte to send them until all arrearages are paid" 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse.to take tbeir papers from the office to which they are directed, they are held responsible till they have settled the bill, and ordered Ihe'paper discontinued. 4. If subscribers move to other, places without, informing the publisher, and. the paper is sent to the former direction, they are held responsible. 5 :The Court's have decided , that refusing to tali° a paper-from the office, or removing and leaving it uncalled for, is prima fade evidence. of intentional fraud.—/Vetospq'per Iron and Steam in England. Since the year 1785 there have been made sixty, millions tons of pig iron within the narrow space •of England alone. No less an-amount than forty-five millions of tons of this 'crude iron has been used in the coniFeitive arnifdaturir'efihittriliilliehs tons of rolled or malleable iron. This, great manufacturing .busineSs has .consumed two hundred 'intrten millions tons of anal—the great source of manufacturing heat—one hundred and thirty five millions tons of raw ironstone,,and twenty-seven millinuslteps - of limestone. The, business, has added twelve millions pounds sterling to the rentals of the , 'mineral owners—all out of materials formerly hidden and useless. Steam is the great mover 'in all this. Without its, scientifte application as a laborioui worker, it is prob able that the' great bulk of the ironstone, eoal; - and lime, would still have been slum bering in unopened - recesses 'of the earth. ThC'same element hai giver Englaiid nearly a 'million and a half 'horses 'power on her raihiarys. On the ocean there are realized 'wonders of at least `equal vaule. At the present time, there is now building the largest, ship the world ever saw, of wrought iron plates, such , as , were Unheard of not ,long back. This ship is the Great Eastern, a giant specimen of, marine architecture, ,which could never be impelled along the .waste of waters, without the untiring force of steam. The large wrought : iron plates forming her.structural details--twenty•sev,en `feet long, four feet three inCes wide and one and, a half inches thick, and weighing two and a half tons each—are in themselies tri rtinphs of mechanical preduction,"Whieb, the 'steam engine may be. Said alone to have brotightinto existence. Prejudice. Of prejudice it has been truly, said, that it hati 4 the singular ability of itecomModating itself to all the possible varieties - of the hi marf . mind: Some vides and Passions are bit thinly Rendered among mankind, and 'find-'only here and there a fitness of recep tion., But-prejudice, like the spider, makes -its 'home every where. It has neither taste nor choice2of lodging plaCe, and allthatit requires is room.' Tbere , is scarcely a situa tion, except fire and water, in which a spider will not live. So let the mind be as malted as the walls of an empty and forsaken.> tens ment, gloomy as a,: dungeon, or ornamented with the richest abilities of thinking; let it belot cold, dark or light, lonely or inhab ited, still, prejudice, if ,undisturbed,, will fill it:with, cob-webs, and live, like the spider, where -there seems nothing to live on. If 'the one prepares her food by poisoning it to her palate and her use, the other does the same; and,, as, several of ,our ;i passions are strongly charabterized by the animal world, Vrejildice - may be denotninated'the spider of the nlind.--Basil Mbn,tagize. gymen can take wine and justify it so well, why not I7' So he took a glass. It in stantly rekindled his fiery and slumbering appetite, and after a rapid downward course, he died of delirium tremens—a raving mad man I" The old man ; paused for utterance, and was just able to add : "That young man was my only son, and the clergyman was•the Reyerend Doctor who has just ad ddessed the assembly."
