Ma. EDITOR :—Having been much re

throughout our entire country, and even
among other nations; in order that you and
'the Church may know better how to "pray

brief siefeli' of the chureliji . elifthie great

(although rapidly improving,) is in some
places' Spiritually without form• and void,
there exist's' a special need of the reviving

minded of the kindness of an affectionele
mother, and told of a Saviour's dying love,
he will gladly hear. There is a cord around
the hardest heart, which, if touched with
the finger of love and sympathy, will move
and vibrate. Many a poor sinner, no doubt,
has gone down the pit, crying, "no man
eared for my soul;" or if he was cared for,
it was not in such a way as made him
feel and believe it. If we wish to benefit
men, we must convince them we really feel
interested in their welfare. If you want to
draw a careless man to church, go and see
him at his home. Dr. Chalmers said, "If
you want to get into a man's heart, get into
his house."
The present is a very favorable time to
establish " the kingdom of God" in the
heirts of this people. The wild, rampant
spirit of specu4tion, heretofore raging .so
fiercely, has died away. Men have - found
that they cannot live upon the wind, nor up
on' one another. And many heretofore seek
ing the salvation 'of dollars and cents, and
looking for gratification and comfort in
quickimaiie, unearned fortunes, having been
sadly' disappointed, and in several instances
proved bankrupt,' and`having thus seen the
folly or" uncertain riches," how they:" make

The spirit of unanimity chatieteezing
the present great revival, is one of its most
encouraging features. That churches and
deneininations,, so near alike as several in
our countrare, should lack *eternal Chris
tian feeling, is to be lamented. In organis
ing churches in a newcountry, with . a sparse
populationpave , feel eadly4theeffecte,of ,de
nominational peculiarities. The minor points
of difference are however, ofteii laid Aide
out here, and we frequently see the Seceder,
the JAssociate-Reforrued, ,Congregationalist,
Episcopalian, end Presbyterian,' all unite in
one church. 'Daily Union Pritier-Meetings
hive , been held 'in different places with
very happy results:
SABBATH SCHOOLS.
In almost 'every city, •we -,haVe these
nurieries of piety. In some'places there ire
two or three verygood Schools. In many
of them we now much need more boolo for
the ,children. If some• of the congregations
and Sabbath &hooks would send the Sab
bath Schools of Florence, Fort Calhoun,
and : Desoto, liaelea'Libiary, it would be very
thankfilly received. '''
A FUNERAL SERMON.
Funerals are often very well attended in
tbil country. The dead are buried with a
decent. respect: I preached at Biownsville,
N. T., some threeweeks after death, the
funeral of Mrs. Thomas Parker, of Worces.
ter Mass, who died April-10th, ooming up
the Missouri river, on board the steamer
Admirali: near Jefferson City, Mo, She
died`.'. from the effects of's' shock occasioned
by •the , boat running against'a snag. She
was a member of the Preshyterian Church.
" Her end was peace." In the absence of
any= minister, it was solemn r ta see her' wn
son - officiating at her funeral.- My 'text was,
" Te , iliels gain,"—Phil. i : ; which
I noticed, " that death is a " ehange,'—a

Leaving Brownsville , N T.,. where I had
gone to organize a • church, I took a short
missionary • tour into Kansas, and . was struck
with the improvement and growth of the
river-towns and cities, particularly Leaven
worth City'. It is a 'fast place, with an esti
mated population of eight thousand. In
point of wealth, business and enterpriee,
it is the first place in the . Territory. Not so
handsome as Omaha. It has been called

efficient city government, it has two Presby

one large Catholic church; three Weekly,

Lawrence is next in importance; has
`grown rapidly „within the last year ; pop

I preached two Sabbaths, and twice in a

A True Hero.
Paul and James were brothers, one nine
and the other twelve years of age. They
•attended the same school. James, the
youngest, was ill.tempered and obstinate,
but much beloved by Paul. The teacher
•one day was about to punish James, when
,Paul stepped up and said to him :
" I wish you would punish me and save
my little brother."
I"My dear paul," said the teacher in , stir-
Cprise, " you ire one of my Wet boys. You
have done nothing ,to deserve punishment
I cannot punish you, my boy."
"But," said Paul, " I shill suffer more to
4 see my, brother's disgrace and punishrnent
than I should from anything you can dole
4
Me."
" Why, Paul,". said the teacher, " what
do you mean.? I cannot' punish you.",.
"'My krother is a little voy, younger than
I am," said. Paul. 'f Pray, eir, allow me
to take all the puniihiment can pear any
thing from you, sir. Do take me and, let,
my little brother g0.1..'
44 Well, James," said the teacher, ":what
do you say to this noble offer of Paul ?"
James looked at his brother:,and said
ing•
"Du let MO be punished, and let my,
brother 'go," - urged Paul.
"Why,'Paul, , " said the teacher, "do you
wish to receive stripes instead of James ?"
"Jesus gave hid back to the smitera, said
".and.received stripes for the good Of
his enemies. James is my brother.' Oh,
air, do forgive him andlet me be punished."
" But James does not wish me to forgiie
him," paid the teachei. " Why should you
feel so anxious about it.? Does he not de- .
serve correction ?"
' " Oh yes, air," said Paul, " be has broken,
the rules, and' is sullen and wilful, and
somebody must suffer. Do - take me and
spare my, brother."
Paul, threw his arms , around his broth
er's neck, and wept as if his heart would
break ! This was more than :James could
bear.' His tears began to fie*, and he' em
braced his generous brother.
The teacher clasped , hoth--irphivarms and
forgave James, for be was more sorry for his
conduet than if he had ,been punished ten
times. '

Teach Females tolielp Themselves.,
" The times are squally said a young
husband playfully to his wife; " what if I
should fail, one of these days ?" She replied
promptly and cheerfully—"l should give
myself no trouble about it;; I would establish

The education of this lady had not been
of that character,, so common now-a-days,
which is as superficial ai it is showy. She
had not only studied the solid branches, but
the relative 'who directed her education, in
! Slated' that she should be — 80 thoroughly.
taught, that she could teach others.• There
seemed little probability, at that time, that
it would'ever', be necessary for her to support
herself by teaching, The time, however,
did come, whilst she was yet young r when
she found itt dine
toia take charge of a
school;" ThVirditalt: of
making herself useful, ; and Of feeling inde
pendent. Her prompt answer to her hus
band, therefore, resulted from her confi
dence that she could do again what she had
done.
We have related this incident, which the
happy could°, 'should this meet 'their eye,
will readily excuse, for the purpose of calling
attention to a prevailing evil of
,immetise mag
nitude; and suggesting,a remedy.' The
evil is the extreme helplessness of the great
majority of, women in oir. dountry 'when
thrown upon their own resources for support
especially if they hive small children. Their
helplessness arises, not from the fact that
there is nothing for them to do, but '1 rom the
feet that they are'not qualified' to do' any
`thing by which they can make a livirig.
They may pass for educated ladies;' but thew
knowledge of the different branches of Sci
enee is too superficial to enable them to teach
suetessfully. They may be sufficiently ac
quainted with music to sing and play credit
ably%'in the parlor; but their acquaintance
with music as a science is quite too-slight to
-secure them success in giving lessons. In
other departments of female •labor they are
no better instructed, perhaps, not so well.
They lack the taste and skill which would'
make them successful' as milliners ; and they
cannot cut, fit and make dresses, so as to suc
ceed in such business. In keeping boarders
—a businein to which widows are often
driven—they would not succeed, because
they would not xnake pied managers; and
turn everything to good account.
The consequence is, that it their husbands
fail in huainesi—an occurrence so ekeeeding
ly common in these days---they can do
'nothing - to aid them, or to diminish - expenses,
tillithey can get w start ; or if they are, left,
widows in indigent' eircumstanoes,,theyhave
-not only - the .bereavement—in itself , heavy
eitough—to bear:; but are overwhelmed and
dispirited at _their utter inability to provide
for their helpless: children. They may have.
relations who will aid.them.; but the feeling
of dependence is extremely galling, especial
ly if, they are led• to suppose, that the. aid is
given reluctantly orwith difficulty. Or their
children mast be scattered abont-in different
families, and thus deprived of a tnether's
fectionate care and training, and gradually
estranged from each other. To avoid such
evils, great numbers of women deliCately
raisedr utterly unused to hardship, eke out a
scanty` subsistence by doing coarse sewing it.
most twenty hours out of twenty-four, for an
almost-nominal price. Grief, hardship and
mortification!rapidly break their spirits,: un
dertnine their health, alad hurry thorn to the
grave ; and their children go into Some or-
Fph ri asylum, or are scattered amongst stran
rs
These ire not matters of rare occurrence.
Would that they were. Go into the narrow
streets of all ,our cities; enter into the cel
lars,' garrets, and shanties;. and you-will find
hundreds of such females; , and in every part
of the country you may find others who have
not sunk , so low, battling against overwhelm
ing difficulties,-and sinking one by one into
early graves.
Is there no remedy for an evil so prevalent,
and of so fearful magnitude ? The women's
rights ductrines we abhor, as utterly nuscrip
tural, unnatural and ruinous to the happi
ness of women themselves The condition
of woman can never be improved by takiug
her out of the aphere in which God designed
her to move; and thrusting her into man's
place. The results of such a course'would
be failure of success, and the loss of that
peculiar respect and regard which all but the
Innat degraded Men feel toward the feinale
sex. But extremes beget each other; and
to the reflecting mind' the extreme positions
of a new party in polities, religion or morals,
indicate evils in the opposite direction, which
ought to be speedily remedied. There are
crying evils in
,the condition of the women
of our country, which loudly demand to be
removed; and these evils do partly give
countenance to those who have recently be
mine so clamorous for woman's rights. In
fidelity has undertaken to place woman in a
more favorable position ; but the history of
the world shows, that whilst it may pull
down evils, it can never , build up anything
good in their ' stead. _
overthrew" tyranny
in France; but it put lawlessness and anarchy
in its, place.
. ,
Where shall we find a remedy for the cry
ing evil of which we are speaking? We
ansWer—first, in the forming of a correct
public sentiment; 'and, Second, in the right
education of young females. There is a
corrupt
, public sentiment, which does infinite
harmer public sentiment so unreasonable
and• so unscriptural; that Christians ought to
set their' faces'like a flint against it. It is
that sentiment Which makes it disreputable
for young women to be indwitriously and
usefully employed. "She is. a school mis
tress," is a remark which, if made respecting
a young lady, may cause her to be dropped
out of wharisoalled the . higher circle; and
when the, invitations ,are sent_ out, for the
evening 'she., - not bd one _for
select company., And What is the " school
mistress','- doing? Why, she is imprihing
her mind by„ the study of the great truths
of nature and of :history . ; and she is train
ing younger Minds for usefulness by impart
ing to them knowledge which is more precious
than gold, and by developing the noble
powers of those noble minds. And, Whilst
thus nobly employed„slte is supporting her
self, or making something to give to the va
rious objects of benevolence. Her employ
ment, is woriby of a ratippal mind and of a
benevolent heart ;, and - it evinces that wis
'dom, that foresees' possible evil; and provides
against it. ' And yet multitudes of our young
misses, whoed fathers are laWyers, 'doctors
and merchants, and whose lives are being
spent like that, of thd butterfly, would feel
quite lotiered,'net to say 'degraded;' by asso
ciating faniiliarlY with the "school mistress "
"She.is a milliner" or "she`is a dress
maker," would be deemed a sufficient reason
in the higher circles for cutting the acquaint
ance 'of a lady, however intelligent or re
'whoie niisfortiinee had rendered it ne
cessary -for_ her to exert herself for the stip
port .of here family, or . for declining tnao ,
knowledge a young lady who prefers to-sup
port herself by her industry, to being de
pendent upon relatives.. If a teacher is sup
posed to belmigati ond - of,the hint - it:ht . :grades
of society, a milliner or dresdmaker , is as
signed even a lower place. And why.? Not
because
,of any inferion:ty in intelligence, in
refinement or in moratexcellence, but simply
because she is doing the very best that her
circumstances allow for the support of her
,
self and of those,dependent Anon her.
What are the pffeem of this public . , senti
ment?, ln the 'first place, it presents an,al
most insuperable barrier in the way of the
proper training of young females. As they
cannot entertain the thought of ever de
seendirig from the circle in society in which
they now move, they cannot'think of qual.
ifyinc , themselves to become 'teachers, much
Jess to engage in anything regarded 'as still
lower in the' scale of respectability. A SU.
perficial education, therefore, with some at
tention 46 the` ornamental branches,' is quite
sufficient; and may be soon attained;. whilst
in the vulgar business of dress-making and
thellike ; ".ignorance is:bliss." A change of
circumstances; therefore; finds them utterly
unprepared to meet it, and:as perfectly help
less as infants. In the next place, this pub.{
lie sentiment often prevents even those who
could : succeed, from engaging any busi
ness,by can support themselves.
If they would-yield-to the stern, requirements
of necessity, they have near relatives in.
better, circumstances,., who would consider
themselves disgraced by their, taking such a
step. Thus whilst there might, be independ
ence, ,usefulness, and happiness ; there is the
spirit chafing under the, mortification of de
penOence, and the heart brooding over its
misfortunes.. Then, conies an •unfavorable
change, in the' circumstances, of those proud
friends, whoa have, by a meagre or a tolerable
support, kept that woman in "durance vile."
The assistance heretofore vouchsafed is with
drawn; - the time has, passed, when shdcould
have 'helped herself ; and unmingled wretch
edness is the result. This isno fancy sketch.
We have seen it all.
Another and a terrible consequence of this
public senthrient, is the contracting of un
suitable marriages 'from mercenary motives.
Young ladies grow up with the 'impression
fixed in their minds, that they are to be
provided for by husbands; and as
,they can
do nothing for themielves, the possession of
money becomes an essential qualification in
wsnitor.. Time-passes on , rapidly and the
apprehension that nothing better is likely to
offer, induces than to become the wives of
men whom they'do not love - or admire, and
perhaps cannot respect. Externally every
thing mayseem fair; but in multitudes of
nstanbeis there' is a Wretchednirse compared
with Which, extreme poverty would be bliss.
' Is this`-public sentiment sustained by any
valid reason?`ls not every employment
honorable which is honest and useful ? Does
not the =lady who intelligent, refined and
morally excellent, panes everything' that
should',be required to introduce her into the
best society ? Is not the lady who, by her
industry, is both- independent and useful,.
worthy of higher regard, than she who lives
on:the toil of ()there, and spends her' time
in that - which lei neither profitable to herself,
nor usefil to others The truth, is, this
public sentiment is nearly as inexorable as
the la*
of caste amongst the Hindoos, and
-more senseless. — However the world may
regard it, Christians'should treat it with the
contempt whichAr, richly, merits. Goa has
put.grent honor upon those who. were found
industriously employed in humble, but use
rivocations. David was called to be King
of Israel, whilst Watching his. father's flock.
The reputed father of our Lord was a car
penter.; and lie himself was cradled in a
manger. Dorcas, who was raised from the
derid by'Peter, was industrious in making
clothes f6r widows and orphans. Paul sup.
ported himself, when peceosity required, by
making 'tents. Read Jamesii : 1-3, and
see how an inapired apostle viewed this mat
ter. Those distinctions in society, which
are founded on: iesiiion, we would ever
respect ; those which'are merely harmless,
we mould tolerate; but those which are both
unreasonable and mischievous, we would ever
oppose and disregard. It is the religious
dilly Of every Christian to employ
,his time
and his % eneigies,in that way in which he
can make himself most useful to others and
best provide for • :those who are dependent
upon him; 'and it-ie a shame for Christians
to slight persons, male or female, for dis
charging their religious 'duty.
. Let every young lady be so educated, that
she can support herself, and others, if need
be, by her own industry. If possible, let
them be thoroughly qualified to .teach in
some one or more departalents. If their
circumstances should never require them, to
teach schooloheir thorough training will
the better 'fit them for the duties of wives
and, methers • and the "(salaciousness that in
mei of euiergency they can take care of
themselves, will itself be a source of constant
satisfaction. But all cannot be teilocers.
Then let them make themselves thoroughly
acquainted with some department, of labor,
in which by excelling they can support them
selves by moderate exertions. If in the
good providence of God their circumstances
should always be comfortably, they can, in
many ways, turn their skill to good account.
There are few men who are not so situated
more than once in the course of life, that
economy in domestic affairs becomes a matter
of grave importance. There are still fewer
women, left widows, whose circumstances do
not require care and skill in their expendi
tures. And there are no mothers training
up daughters, who can properly neglect to
teach them how to pfactice economy:
As there are few things more uncertain
than earthly possessions, it becomes a matter
of prime importance, that the young, both
males and females, should know how to take
care of themselves in the day of misfortune.
Above all, let thym be taught, that the Lord
reigns; that whatever wealth or skill we
may have, only ". the blessing of the Lord
maketh rich ;" and that in the proper use
of our faculties, and in the faithful dis
charge of our duties, we may Claim the pro
mise---" I wmll never leave thee, nor forsake
thee." Having done what we can, we may
cast all our care on Hini, knowing that he

Eating. and Skop*.
Hall's Journal of Health says :—" For
,persons who eat three times a day, it is am
'ply sufficient to"make •the bit meal of cold
bread-rind•butter and a cup of warm drink.
No one cian'etarve on it, while a perseverance
in the habit soon begets "a vigorous appetite
, for breakfast, so promising of a day of com
fort!,.
Yes, yes; and by omitting the third meal,
the individual, besides securing a night of
sound sleep, will not find on awaking is the
morning, a bad taste, in, the Mouth so indica
tive of general foulness.
If nne would &hive have a sweet mouth
and,a clean tongue, he can secure them both
by simply ceasing to overtax his stomach..
This frequent eating is aiidie, mischievous
habit, ruinous of both health, and.,, comfort ,•_
and it prevehts the individial from receiving
the great amount of enjoyment which it
was intended he should receive from eatiog,
and which is necessary to .perfect nutrition.
Nothing should he eaten between the reg.
ular meals, whether these meals 'are ,taken
either two or thfee times a day ; ;;nor should
one , eat so that the quantity ingested will;in
duce heaviness or, uncomfortable feelings.
The cook tastes the; foed she , prepares;
and by , the frequent tasting she destroys
both, the relish for her meals and ; her, health.
There are many • housekeepers who have the
same pernicious habit.
We know, farmers who, at , the close of a
long Summer day, during which they have
eaten heartily five times, and worked hard
from four o'clock in the morning to nine at
night, eat freely just befOre going to bed.
The stomach, already, enfeebled by con
stant working under disadvantageous cir
cumstances, has now imposed on ,it an . im
practicable task, and the men lid down to
sleep,! Next morning they are nerveless - -
have scarcely slept all night—feet more
wearied than they did when they lay down—
add; on the whole, think the farmer liVes a
dog's life. So he does, as far as be shake to
mere animalism—living to eat—taxing 'his
digestive apparatus at the expense of health,
life, and, life's enjoyments. SD on from day
to day, till nature makes a desperate effort
to rid the body-*Of the siatierfliions food in
troduced into it, burning it , up by fever,< or
expelling it by some different remedial effort.
Farmers,.being so much in the open air,
with abundant exercise, should , be the health
iest people ; but like others ho are,cursed.
with " abundance, of bread," they are
rheumatic, bilious, dyspeptic. This is a
shame and a sin. Farmers it is sin. Your
liver complaints,. chill feiers, etc., are as un.
neeessaiy as is the plague. Health 'and
sweet sleep, will come to you'when you need,
unless by bad habits you drive them away.

A Negro Ttmthlg'White.
The Worcester (Md.) Shield says: A
correspondent at New Town writes' as fol
lows:
" We 'haire living in `this`-place`a negro
woman; aged about fifty years, named Han
.nah Stnith, who . presents the rare phenom
enon of a negro turning white. . This change
has been produced by the absorption of the
pigmentum. nigrant, or coloring matter of
the skin. The body,,arms,:legs, and breast
are entirely white.... With the exception of
some spots, varying in , size from a dime to
a half dime, dispersed over the body and
Eaoavations at Rome.
The excavations in the Via Latina have
led to the discoverY of two other :,sepulchral
chambers. The second, in particular, is in
a wenderful state of preservation. The mar
late tombs are covered with sculptures of
great beauty 1 but what is of stilt more de
eided interest, is the paintings with which
the roof and sides are ornamented, and
which.afe.as fresh, and as bright as if only
executed yesterday. Some of the =compart
ments contain .animal and human heade, of
a perfection nearly equal to that of the best
Cameos. The whole•would be just as theY
were the first' day, had not some Visigoth
secretly detached one of.the leads. it is
thought that the Roman Government will
Purchase these monuments and, the sur
rounding gionnds.
Thought a Beautifier
_ ,
•'• A writerin the Aurnal thinks that
mental activity tends to keep the body
youni:" We were speaking of handiome
men the other evening, and I was won4er
ing why it- had so lost the beauty
for which, five years ago, he was famous.
Oh, it's because he never did any thing,'
said 'l3—; he never worked, thought,
suffered.. You must have the mind 'chisel
ing away at the features, it you want hand
some middle aged men.' Since hearing that
'remark; I haNie - lieen - on the watch at the
thentici; ' - opera, aria other -places, to see
whether it is generally true, and it is. A
nanasome man who does nothing but eat
and drink, grows •flabby, and the fine lines
of his features are lost, but the hard thinker
has an admirable sculptor at work, keeping
his fine lines in repair, and constantly going
over his face to improve the original desie,n."
Some truth in the theory.--Boston Post.
Body and Brain.
How many, of both sexes, from OveDload
ing their brain and under-working their
bodies, have sunk prematurely into their
graves ! How many have become tenants
of lunatic asylums ! How many the victims
of chronic dyspepsia, and all manner of nerv
ous disorders ! What is the value of any
conceivable amount of learning, to him whose
frame has become enfeebled and broken

is it to the person whose lingers are too fee

Science anti Poetiy.
Science and Poetry, recognizing, as the3r
do, the order and beauty of the universe,
are alike handmaids of devotion. They
have been, they may be, drawn away from
her altar; but in their natural characters
they'are cooperators, and, like twin slaters,
they walk hand in hand. Science
. tracks
the foot-prints of the great creating power;
poetry unveils the smile of the all-sustaining
love. Science adores as a subject; poetry
worships as a child. One teaches the law,
and the ,ather binds the soul to it in bands
of beauty and love. They turn the universe
into a temple, earth into, an altar, the sys
tems into fellow-worshippers,' and eternity
into 'one long day of contemplation and
praise:— Ware.
Forms of Bequests.
When. bequests are made to the Institutions of the
Church, let the following forms be carefully observed.
legacies are often lost to the cause which the testator de
signs to aid, by a defect in the will. When real estate or

scribed.

Nearly the whole of a large edition of this work has been

for the reader that 'characterizes the author's other works.
[from the Boston Journal,,].
"Its style alone would render it °berthing ; but that, is
simply the translucent , medium for conveying the choicest
beauties of rare Scientific knowledge; for accurate, yet
brilliant sketches each of whose subjects stamps itself upon
themental retina, for noble and farreaching views, and
warm, healthful emotions."
[From the N. Y. Evening Posta
" The work displays the great Geologist's strong, oompre.

[From the Boston Courier.]
It lies those marked and characteristic merits which

writer so wide a circulation, and so enduring a popularity.
Indeed we predict for the present work an 'unusual degree
of public favor, because there is in it so. much of animate/
description, and spirited narrative."
[From the Christian Begister.]
"The writer's style has &moot become a proverb, for
perspicuity, terseness, and strength; whfch, with hie keen
observation; generous sentiments, and. genial humor, im

[From the Eastern Amu.]
"To all interested in natural science, and particularly in

in the blood and system at large, both before and during its
