Evidences of Regeneration.
Letter X— Uncertain Evidences
Examine yourselves.--2 Cox. stu : 6
Mr DEAR FRIEND :—You may regard
this letter as a help to self.examination.
Among the uncertain evidences of regener
ation, ,I have enumerated highly excited
affections, great bodily effects, fluency in
talking and praying, and texts of Scripture
brought to the mind. Nor, I add now, is
any certain order of exercises a sure sign of
regeneration. Some depend much on the
order of their exercises; they have been
awakened; they have been distressed; they
have prayed; they have found relief; and
hence they hope all is well. Others are per
plexed and distressed beca . use they have not
had a certain 'order of exercises, such as
they supposed necessary. They have been
accustomed to hear of religious experience
alp taking place in a certain order; they have
thought their exercises must follow in the
same train; and because it has not been so
with them, they are perplexed and distressed.
It is well to remember that religious experi
ence is almost as diversified as are the indi
vidual subjects of it. No two cases can be
found,' in all respects, alike. Hence we
should not be perplexed because our exer
cises have not been just like those of others.
Nor should we rest simply on the fact that
we have been the subjects of a certain train
of ,feelings or order of exercises. It is not
their order, but their genuineness that should
concern us. Many have related an. Awderly
experience, whose after lives have proved
them destitute of all genuine experience;
and that is what we want, not the form, but
the power; not the order, but the life, the
reality, the substance, the very thing itself,
the new birth, the new creature in Christ
Jesus.—John iii : 1-8; ,2. .Cor. v.: 12.
Again, great apparent zeal in the cause of
Christ and , spending much time in prayer
and praise and other religious dutiesi is not
a certain evidence of the new birth. These
may exist where the heart is 'renewed; and
they may also for a time be found where the
after life proves it yet:Unchanged. Besides,
there is a false as well' as - a true zeal ; and
religions duties`may be performed in a self
righteous spirit. The Phariseerr loved to
pray to be seen of men;-and the Jews had a
zeal for God, but it was not according to
knowledge. It is possible for it to be even
so with us, and not only possible but there
is great danger of it. Hence we mud not
rest on our duties, nor upon our strictness in
performing them, but only on Christ. He
is the way, the truth, and the life.—Matt.
vi : 5-15, and xxiii: 14; Rom. x: 1-4;
John xiv : 4-8.
Further, a confident persuasion of pardon
and of God's love toward us, is not a
certain sign of regeneration. It is very
possible for this persuasion to be a false one.
Texts suggested. by Satan may lead us to
think our sins are blotted out, when in reality
we have not come to Christ and remain yet
unpardoned and unforgiven. A persuasion
of pardon then, or the simple fact that we
think ourselves forgiven l cannot be a certain
evidence, for we may think so when it is not
so, and the persuision of pardon may be a
false and deceptive, one, and the peace at
tendant upon it fatal and ruinous. And so
also of the persuasion of our interest in
God's love. He has promised to receive,
and love, and bless, and save them who come
to Jesus Christ; and if we truly come to
Christ, we may be assured of his love toward
us, and of our salvation toot' but we may think
we come to Christ when we do not. Hence
faith is to be shown by its fruits, and the
evidence of our justification is to be sought
in our progressive sanctification, and not in
a mere persuasion of our forgiveness and
acceptance, although that persuasion may
amount to .a certain kind and degree of assur
ance.
Bence it follows, Osaka confidence in our
own good estate, or even . the good, opinion
of others respecting us, is not a certain evi
eence of regeneration. Some rely very
much on their own good opinion of them
selves; they know they are Christians; they
have felt so much ; they have prayed so
much; and now they are so happy; they
know they are not mistaken; they are sure
of heaven, and are ready to die at any time;
and they speak very disparagingly of those
who only venture to express a trembling hope
of salvation. For themselves they know all
and they make this very confidence,
in their good estate, a certain evidence of
their acceptance with = God. To doubt of
their safety would be to them a proof that
they are yet in their. sins. But it is very.
certain Paul stood in doubt of the Galatians,
and it was hence very proper for them to
stand in doubt of tbemselves.--Gal.. iv : 39,
20. We are also, exhorted to examine our
selves and prove our own selves,(2. Cor. xiii
5,) and how inconsistent, is this with milicinS
a self-confident assurance, an infallible evi.
deuce of conversion Be not deceived,
saith Paul, God is not mocked.—Gal, vi :`.7.
It is possible to be deceived, for the heart
is deceitful; and to make our confidence in
our own good estate a certain evidence of
our safety, is to make that an evidence which
may be. as unfounded as gg the baseless fabric
of a vision ;" for we may cry, peace and
safety, when sudden destruction coming
upon us.-1. Thess. v
Others, depend very much on the good
opinion of tb.ose about them; some men, on
whose judgment they rely,, have encouraged
them to hope, or .pronounced them truly
'converted, and they rest on their judgment
and feel quite safe. Perhaps at a meeting,
to which they went careless and unconcerned,
they have been alarmed and distressed; they
have wept; felt relieved; and merely because
they feel better they are declared to be con
verts. Perhaps, even by name, it is said of
them publicly; such and such ones are blest,
delivered and saved ! Now it is a serious
matter to examine and decide upon our own
exercises; and it is still more serious and
responsible to decide and pronounce upon the
exercises of others. We may be deceived
in regard to ourselves; it is very easy , to be
deceived in regard to others; and it is gen
erally safer to direct the inquiring to Christ,
with the assurance that,he will save all who
come to him, and is ready and willing to
save 'even them, than it is to encouragithem
to, believe that they have already closed in
with offered mercy. At all events, as there
is room for men to err in their judgments of
each `other; so the good (Tinton which others
may. form of us, or sof our exercises, is not a
certain evidence that we are real. Christians.
We i need ; a better standard ; than , : this; and
though all the ministers in the world, and
all the Christians too, 'shonld pronounce us
converts and publish us as ench, this
,would
not prove us so, nor would it save us without
a vital and saving union with Jesus Chliat.
We must be new creatures in him or perish I
And if vitally united to Christ, the unfavor:
able opinion of ourselves and others cannot
affect our safety, what effect so ever it may
have upon our comfort' and our usefulness.
They who have put on Christ are justified;
,they who are new creatures in Christ and in
whom Christ is formed, are renewed and t
sanctified; they are united,tnChristand are
safe. Yet they , raay,err in. judgmentothOtit •
themselves, and others may err about theist;
and hence neither our own opinion of our-

selves, nor the opinion of others respecting
us, is a certain evidence of regeneration.
Now most of the evidences which have ,
thus far been named, Satan may counterfeit,
and in all of them we may be deceived;
they are not certain and infallible evidences,
and hence we should not rest in them. If
we have them, well; if not, no matter, pro
; vided we have better; and in any ease let
us not depend alone upon these uncertain
evidences, for they may deceive and ruin
us; and it would be dreadful indeed to die
hoping, and then awake in hell despairing I
To prevent such a sad and miserable result,
I shall, in my . next and subsequent letters,
consider some of the certain signs of regen
eration, so as the better to enable you to
examine yourself and see whether you are a
true child of God. In the meantime con
sider what I have said, and look to Jesus
Christ,. the Lamb. of God, for the pardon of
all your sins. They who receive Jesus Christ
by faith are born again. Receive him; rely
upon him; trust in him , that you may be
forgiven and saved.. Behold ,the _Lamb of
God I—John i: 11-30.
The one thing needful is to sit at Jesus'
feet and listen to his instructions. This is
the goodpart which Mary had. chosen, And
which should never be taken away from her,
for she sat at Jesus' feet and heard his word.
—Luke x : 38 7 -42. But to sit at Jesus'
feet and listen to him, and follow his teach
ings, we must be born again; for the carnal
mind is enmity against God, and the natural
man receiveth not the things' of the Spirit
of God.—Rom. viii : 7, and I Car. ii : =IL
To sit at the' feet of Christ, we must be new
creatures in Christ. Without this we shall
never hear his words so as to believe and,
obey. It is therefore of the very first im
portance to know whether our hearts are *e
newed. To settle this .point, beloved friend,
examine yourself. And be assured there is
no new heart where there is no faith in Jesus
Christ. , Your first duty, therefore, is to.
come to _Christ. He invites;, hear his voice
and obey : " Come unto me, all ye that labor
and, are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me;
for I am meek and lowly in heart; and, ye
shall find rest to your souls. For my yoke,
is easy, and my burden, is light. Matt. xi.:
28-30.
" Seize the kind promise while it= waits,
And march to Zion's heavenly gates;
Believe,'and take the promised rest ;
Obey, and be forever bleat."
YOURS, TRULY.

[BY THE EDITOR.]
In Youth is the Accepted Time.
Early religion is attended with benefits
inconceivably great: We may speak of them,
but we cannot do so in full accordance with
their worth. Their value is inestimable.
The duty of attending to religion in the
morning of life, is made incumbent. "Re
member thy Creator in the days of thy
youth." "Seek, ye first the kingdom of
God and his righteousness." Youth is, to
many persons, the only season granted to,
prepare for immortality. A large number
die, before they attain to full manhood.
Whither they 'go, and what they are to en,-
joy, 'or to endure, in eternity, is determined
by their choosing or their refusing., very
early
,and with great promptitude. With
many a youth, it is now or never. The last
offer, to them, comes very close upon the
first.
And the manhood of most of those who
are spaied to meet its responsibilities, has
been determined as to its character, by their
previous youth. Seed has been sown which
is - bearing . fruit. Principles have been cher
ished which cannot be eradicated. , 4abits
have been formed whose controlling influ
ence is imperious. Tastes have sprang'up
which will ever crave > indulgence, at any
nest. The man has been formed- by the
youth. The destiny is determined by the
outset. , Increasing years but give time for
progress in the path: which has been ; entered;
and the end is but the consummation of the
beginning.
The unwilling heart, as life advances, be
comes more hard; and the unheeded con
science less faithful. Guilt is accumulated
and the soul more deeply steeped in pollu
tion. To resist Gospel impressions hence no
longer requires an effort. God's Spirit fhas
been resisted and grieved. .Every ground
of hope is diniinished, and, becomes continu
ally less and less.
Why, then, will the young hesitate about
choosing the good part Why this delay,
this folly, this recklessness of their soul's
immortal interests !
Too often religion is regarded as a thing
gloomy and, uncomfortable.
.But this is a
very great mistake. " Wisdom's ways are
pleasantness." The renewed soul " greatly
rejoices in God." It has more pleasure in
God, than-others-have , "in the abounding
of their corn and wine." It is bidden to
"rejoice in the Lord always." Christians
are in the habit of living below their privi
leges. They are God's sons and daughters,
and their Father tenders to them far more
of joy than they will take, from his hands.
But still, they do, have joy-- 7 ,great joy.
They have joy in their repentance, joy in
their humblings; joy iit their prayers and
fastings, joy in their tears 1113 well as in their
triumphs. They will tell of their joys.
Their adherence to Christ demonstrates that
they find joy in him. Their efforts to bring
into the family of Christ, . all the dearest
objects of their love, proves that they have
found his house to be the fountain spring
and the abode of joy.
The young should often talk with aged
and consistent. Christians.. Get them to tell
their experience _ ; their convictions and striv
ings; their fears and joys; their first love;
their growth; their present hope and strong
foundation; their sweet peace and their eager
ness in pressing onward in the near pros
pect of their heavenly inheritance. Espe
cially should they listen to the deeply expe
rieneed child of God, in narrating his early
conflicts, and how the,victory came. And,
sometimes, also, it is of admirable benefit to
talk to the young convert, in whose, mind:
and memory every thing is fresh, and the
ardor of whose glowing emotions will 'warm
and melt _every ingenuoink heart„ with which
they come in close contact. Nen will , call
it sympathy- Vgy,well. It is a holy sym
pathy, transfasing itself, donverting, elevat-
ing, sanctifying through the truth. Sym
pathy, is given of God. He has made the
'soul thus susceptible, and thus he opens up
a medium to the best of influences. He
has ordained this as a means of awakening
holy emotion, and to it we should subject
ourselves in the sweetest intercourse with
his new-born sons and daughters.
And new is a time peculiarly favorable in
many of our churches. The Gospel is being
preached with unusual zeal. God's minis
ters are awaked. Christians are enlivened.
Sinners are converted. Aged saints have
their tongues loosed. Recent converts tell
of their, change, .their love and their joy.
Now is the time .of favor, the accepted time,
the day of salvation, the day of decision.
We hive a letter from a youth, just en
tering manhood, whose religious training
had been fair and his moral character un
blemished, but whom God's Spirit taught
that stlll If he = lacked one thing," and apart
of whose experience in seeking to make up
the deficiency,• he narrates. There is in it
nothing of exaggeration, and no effort at
painting. Nor is there in it any feature un
usual. There are no dark terrors, . such as
sometimes rend the soul, in agony; nor are
there any extatic jeys, each as once' in a
thousand oaten thousand cases are vouch
safed. 'it is but a common experience; and
it is therefore the better adaPted to convey
instruction and truthfUlly to reach the
heart. He pays.:
"I am indulging.a hope that I have been
' born again ;' that Christ is precious tome;
I rest upon him for salvation. I desire no
other Saviour; no other mediator and inter
cessor with God for me.
"Never have I experienced suoksatisfao
don and peace of mind as I have within the
last few days; since I gave, as I humbly
trust, my heart and all to Jesus and resolved
to live witk and for him; to show forth by my
life and faith in, him, his great glory. I feel
like a new oreature. Blessed hopes and as-
pirations fill my mind. These feelings and
desires influence me to long more and more
for ,an increased knowledge of my blessed
Saviour, and to lead others to learn by swept
experience what a blessed thing it is to be
lieve in Jesus:
"I, last Sabbath, with six. others, professed
my faith in chriak Oh that I may walk
worthy of my ,profession ! That I , may
bring no discredit on the religion that I
have professed; that Christ may be my
'all' and in all;' that he may be glori
fied in me before men, and that .I may ever
'rest tipon.him alone for salvation,' are the
earnest desires of my heart, and the great
burden of my.supplications at the throne of
grace. How great the glory and praise due
to God foLhis love to men, in providing a
ransom from sin,,in the death and mediation
of his holy Son, Christ Jesus, onr Lord.
May I never again be guilty of the sin of
ingratitude to him in refusing, as I have so
long done,. his proffers of mercy. What
shall I render - MAO the" Lord for his good
ness to me,' is an, interesting inquiry with
me, as it was with the Psalmist. I desire
to answer as he did, 'I will take 'the cup
of salvation and call upon the name of the
Lord.'
"The Bible and prayer are now my de
light. Oh ! how .1 regret that they have
been so long abandoned! I pray that the
Scriptures may now be my chief delight
and constant food for meditation."
Will our young friends now give heed to
this, matter? Now, the Lord calls. Now,
is life's favored season. Now, the Spirit is
being poured out on the churches. Jesus
now invites. Now " make your calling and
election sure!'

A remedy for this petit is proposed in the

take a tin pan into which soapsuds has been

it in the tree,f924,placeft, small glass globe

A New Breed of Sheep.
D. J. Browne, Esq., the head of the Ag
ricultural Bureau of the 'Patent Office, has
received a very interesting letter from R. L.
Pell, of Massachnsetts,concerning a new
breed of sheep, which has been lately im
ported from China. Three years since, a
Mr. Theodore Smith imported three ewes
from Nankin, from which he obtained, in
twenty months, seventy-two sheep. One
ewe produced twelve lambs in,fifteen months,
three, four, and five at a birtit—and they
commenced breeding at, four and a half
months old. This breed are perfectly hardy,
having endured the, past severe Winter with
out any shelter, producing lambs constantly,
which bore the cold .as well as the old sheep
and matured rapidly. They will not jump
fenois, either stone or woad: The flock were
separated last season from a rye-field by a
cobble•stonemaktwo and a half feet high,
over which they never attempted to pass;
nor can they be driven over any description
Of fence. The fibre of their wool is exceed
ingly strong, and the fleece heavy. The
mutton cannot possibly be,surpassed, as it is
entirely free from the strong flavor usual to
sheep, and is tender, juicy and delicious.
The tails, are broad, and when properly pre
pared, much'resemble , marrow, and form a
delightful morsel for the epicures. •
Why Keep. Potatoes in the Dark?
it is often observed, by good housekeep
ers, that their,best potatoes come from the
bottom of the bin er barrel, where they are
the most effectually guarded from the light,
and often covered lwith the, soil that has
sifted down from the upper layers. It is
often recommended that this vegetable be
kept in a dark cellar. It has been suggested
that one reason, of the Aeterioration of this
vegetable is owing, in part, to the fact, that
cellars in all the modern-built houses are,
made.muoh more light and airy, than they
were thirty years ago.
The potato is in, its most perfect condition
when it is fully ripe, and has the largest
share of starch in its composition. If it
could be kept in the ground, without frees.
ing so as to destroy its vitality, it would re
main nearly unchanged in its character until
the following Spring, when the increased
warmth of the sun would excite the germs.
Art should attempt to do what nature does
perfectly, in the original home of the potato.
It is kept in a cool, dark deposit of vege-,
table,mold,until.the Spring opens. In the
good old fashioned cellar, which, kept pota
toes, When we were a hoy,,.....thesa. conditions
were very well observed. The bin was in
the darkest, coolest part of the cellar, and
the potatoes were deposited there with the
dirt on them, as they came from the field,
and they law no ray of light, except that
of a candle, from, November until March.
They were only kept from freezing, in the
zero nights, by a thick covering of rye straw.
In the modern built house there is usually
too much light and warmth in the cellar.
The potatoes come, in early Winter, into the.
light and temperature of •April. The re
productive instincts of the tuber are excited,
the eyes begin to start, and the starch, which
makes the potato so mealy and nice, as an
article of food, begins to pass over into other
compounds, . favorable to the growth of a
new crop. The cook complains of wet,
heavy potatoes.. These prematurely sprouted
tubers, it is frequently observed, are not so
productive as others. The reproductive
energy seems to be weakened by this unglue.,
ly light and heat. It looks reasonable, that
this course, followed up-fora long series of
years,.should have, an unfavorable influence,
upon the health of the plant Market gar
deners are alive to this , fact,, and they let
their early, potatoes, ripe in, July, lie in the
ground until NoVembev, before they dig
them. They are then kept in a cool, dark
cellar, until it is time to, start, them .for
planting.—Ameriean . Agriculturist.

We,might quote from. others of the numerous
letters we have, and are constantly receiving,
but we deem the above sufficient to convince the
most skepticta that, we have at least the hest
preparations in the world for the hair of, young
or old. We manufacture no other. preparations.
Occupying the large building, corner of Broome
and Elizabeth Streets, exclusively for office,
sales-room and, manufactory, we have no time or
inclination to engage in other manufactures.
These are the only preparations exported in
any quantity to Europe.
We also mould call attention to !the fact that
we haVe always avoided all charlatantism. Our
preparations are the highest priced, but the
cheapest, because it lasts longer, and does more
good; the expense„in , ,the end, less than others.
We aspire to have the: best, not the lowest
