Bo gentle, there are hours when he
By anxious oars is tossed ;
Awl shadows deep lie on his brow,
By business trials crossed.
Be gentle, 't is for you he toils,
And thinks, and strives to gain
Home comforts and home happiness--
Don't let him strive in vain.
Bo gentle, though somel'hatity *word
Should fall—it was not meant;
A smile a kind word will recall,
An I may more prevent.
Be gentle, oh! 'twill soothe much care,
And make each burden light;,
A gentle tone will soothe the brow,
And draw an answer bright..
Be gentle, though . it may seem hard
To' check an angry word ;
Yet try, and it will surlily bring
A full and rich reward.

The Levis -of Mies:
In my last, it was represented to highly
probable, that , of the laws and'usages of the
Hebrews, previous to the establishment of
the theocracy, there were some which sanc
tioned things morally wrong or sinful ; and
the'question was raised; how were such laws
and usages treated in the judicial or civil
law.revealed.by - Moses ? To this question,
I now invite the 'attention of the reader.
And, first, let us' consider the' law relating
to divorce'.
,It requiree•hut little acquaintance with
ancient history to be convinced that the
laws of all'ancient nations, even at a much
la:ter age than that of Moses, were exceed
ingly lax on the subject of marriage. It
edema to have been regarded everywhere as
the right of the husband to put away his
wife, whenever, for any reason, he became
dissatisfied with her ; the right of the wife
thus put aWay;to marry another man; and
the right of parties that had been divorced,
and 'married to other persons, to beconie
'again husband and wife, if a reconciliation
should take place, and they should again de-
sire to live together. With the exception
4:4 'the judicial lel of the Jews, which posi
tively forbade the last of these, and laid, re
strictions on the, first, there does not appear
to have'been in any nation, till long after
the times of Moms, a law to prevent, or
even,limit and restrict any of these supposed
rights. Have we not, then, abundant rea
son to conclude that the Hebrews, during
their, residence in Egypt, entertained much
the same views on this subject which pre
vailedlll'aionid-thein, and that their - lairs
and usages conformed, in this respect, as in
many others, to the prevailing sentiment, of
tha times ?
Assumingthat ;their-laws previous to their
leaving'Egytt, in reference to this subject,
Were 'need onAlie alleged-right of the hus
band to put away his wife for trivial reasons,
and that such divordes are morally wrong,
we have here the very case supposed in my
last, And we are to inquire, what - changes
in their. previous -laws, on this subject, was
Made under-the theocracy ?
Let the reader turn to the law of. Moses
en this subject ; (Dent xxiv 1-I,)andle
mill-perceive that it imposed two restraints
on theie usages which, we have every rea
son to believe, had, up-to that time, - pre-
Veiled among - - that - -;. - -people as' among - 'nll
Others, with ; all the force and sanctity of
law, if not under that name. Filer re
quired-the-formality of a " bill of ivorce
ment " , which would necessarily -occasion
-
some delay—lome time for reffeetion, and
thus tend to ;prevent men 'from consumma
ting the divorce under the influence of a
Sudden impulse or 'passion. Secondly, it
made the 'divorce irrevocable,, and there
fore a"much more serious affair ttan it
was commonly regarded. But, under these
restrictions, it allowed - divorce, and the sub-
Sequent marriage of both parties.
This law, and the. moral ,law relating to
the , same snbject, were interpreted by the
great Tea Cher, on two occasions. First, in
his Sermon on the Mount, (Mat --v. 82;)
and, secondly, when the Pharisees after
wards same to him and tempting him, in.
quired, "Is it lawful for a man to pilt away
his wife for every cause?"—Mat.
In reference to the judicial law, he 'says
" Moses suffered you to put away your
wives." Was that sufferance or permission
ethical, or only political ? Did it justify
the act in the court of conscience, or only
in the court of the Jewish magistrate?'
Was it such ;a 'Pertniasion as iniplied ;that
God approved the act, or at least that he
did not disapprove it
If, .in my fermer articles, have succeed
ed- in showing that the judicial law was not
intended to guide to the conscience of
individuals in ' determining what was right
and What was wrong, lut to the Jewish
magistrate in administering justice and
maintaining geed order in the state, the
question is easily answered. _And , the an.
awer must be that where our Lord soya;

2dly. From the reason which our Lord
assigns for this permission, we may infer
that it did not pertain to the conscience.
" Because of the hardness -of your hearts,
"I'doees wrote you this precept." Is the
standard of duty ever, lowered because of
the hardness or depravity of men's hearts?
I shall not delay to argue this question, but
content myself with saying that an affirma
tive answer would open the door to errors
subversive of tbe - Gospel. However hard
our hearts may become, our, duties and ob.
ligations are unchanged. The law demands
of all men a perfect heart, and relaxes none
of its 'claims in consideration 'of disobedi.

and' shall' marry another, committeth adul

or a new enactment; they are explanatory;
they declare whit the rule of 'ditty has been
from the beginning. If the reader, doubts
this, and thinks that the word - hereafter is
to be understood as qualifying ormodifying
the statement, let him turn to the parallel

4thly. This view of the meaning of Matt.
xix : 4-9, is corroborated by Mal. ii : 14
—l6, where the prophet reproves the Jews
for the praetice of divorce, and appeals, in
prod of the sinfulness of that practice, to
the fact that God created but one wife for
the first man. To this appeal. he adds
"The Lord, the God of Israel, saith, that
he hateth patting away." The putting
away or divorce here intended, must have
been morally wrong; for there is nothing
which God can properly be said to hate, but
sin. Will it be alleged that this language
Was intended to apply, not to the use, but
the abuse'aif the 'permission 'granted in the
judicial law ? But no such limitation is
either expressed Or implied in the word's of
the prophet', On the contrary, the reason
ing by. which he enforces the reproof, is
equally conclusive against all divorce not
sanctioned .by that law which " wits from
the beginning."
I have dwelt the longer on the interpre
tation of the 'law of divorce, because the
principle involved has important practical,
bearings.; and before I proceed to speak of
them, I wish to settle the principle' itself on
a' firm basis. In, other words I wish to,
show that it was no part of the design of the
judicial law—at least those provisions that
were founded on the previous laws or usages
of the Jews—to teach them what was mor
ally right, and what morally wrong, what.
God approved and what he disapproved.
With a view to the further confirmation of
this principle, I have somewhat to say 'in
my next, respecting polygamy, .and= other
evils which had prevailed' among that peo
ple.

Rose and Nancy, or the Faults of One
Norniug.
"Close 'the window, and come away from
it dear Rose," said Nancy Smith to her sis
ter. "Those men are swearing dreadfully ;
it is sin even to listen to them."
They forget that God hears them," re
plied Bose, quitting the window, and that
';every idle word' that men shall speak they
shall give account thereof in the day of
judgment."
"I, remember, not, very long ago," said
Nancy, "having read a story of two girls,
one kind and good, the other rude and
naughty. To the first it was granted as a
reward that whenever she spoke, pearls and
diamonds should drop from her mouth; the
other girl was punished for her faults by
scorpions and other reptiles following her
words. I have often thought since, that
there was much meaning in that tale; that
the conversation of the wise is indeed pre
cious as jewels, while the speech of the
wicked is as scorpions!'
"Yes," said Rose, " the words of those
bad men will sting them like scorpions at the
last day."
"0! Rose, let us not judge them, but
rather judge ourselves. Not one of us, but,
has sinned daily, again and again, with our
lips!' ,
,"I do not see that," answered Rose, "I
am quite sure that I never swear."
44 No, you would tremble to do that, fpr
you know the command, 4 Above all things,
swear not.'"
44 And I never tell a lie."
"No, foryou have been taught that heaven
is closed to those whose lips speak falsehood.
And yet, dear Rose were an angel to mark
down every day all the words that you ut
ter, you would find that there was sin in the
page ' •
" I doubt that," said Rose," "if I were
byguar(l . . Let us try; now will you, to
morrow 'only to-morrow, mark down every
wrong , word which. I say ? I > shall not
take up much of your' time, I 'promise
you."
" Well, Bose, I am willing :to make the
trial."
Here, then ; is a- pencil and a piece of
paper!'
"It is, a very small piece, Rose," said
Nancy, smiling.
it Quite large enough, I am sure for one
day. Besides you will see so little of me
to-morrow; if the, day .is fine, uncle has
promised to call in his. opening cart, and
take me to see the school fete in the town.
There is to be a band, and such fine doings !
I do so hope that the weather will be bright.
Do you think there will be no rain to-mor.
row, Nancy ?"
u I cannot tell. The sun set in a' bank
of Cloud; but I hope the day may be fair."
The first thought of Rose as she opened
her eyes on the following morning, was:
"I hope the weather is fine!'
.
But S even before she reached the window,
hope was changed into disappointment,- as
she heard the sound of the pattering 'rain.
She looked out; the whole sky appeared
leaden and dull, while the heavy shower fell
ai though it never would cease.
" How provoking—how very provoking !"
cried Rose. "It is always so ; whenever
one wishes the day to be fine, down comes
.the tiresome rain I"
Impatient, foolish, unjust words—they
were noted down.
Nancy and Rose= dressed in silence, the
younger sister repeatedly glancing at the'
window, and always with a look of vexation.
In theirilittle parlor, they met their brother
.
"What gloriourl rain !" cried the boy;
"it will make my 'Seeds grow up twice as
fast." . • •
" Who cares for your seeds? It will
spoil the fete." saießose, impatiently.
Ungenerous, selfish, words—they were
noted down
Poor Rose I" laughed David, "she has
lost, an oppurtunitp•of sporting' her fine new
ribb )11." •
" You are a saucy, provoking boy !" cried
Rose, , turning to the window; "I do not
care a straw for all the ribbons in the world "
Exaggerated 'words---they were noted
down.
"0, there's ,no use watching the sky,"
"you had said David;d better take to mend
.,
mg my stockings. There's rain enough in
that cloud to last till this time to-morrow.
You May say good bye to the tete at once."
"Be silent with your nonsense will you?"
exclaimed' the irritated Rose; but David
chose to talk. on.
it The school- children will wish to change
their garlands for umbrellas, as they march
to church with their drifrpinc , banners. I
wish' I were at the town just to Bee them I"
"I wish you were anYwhere but here,
selfish, tormenting bey," cried Rose, leaving
the room hastily, and slamming the door be
hind her.
Angry words—they iiererisoted down.
•In a short time Ro'se returned ; David had
left the house; was the - custom of Rose
to read aloud , frotorthe rDible ‘to her sister,
every, morning, ;Yd.:afterwards to sing a
hymn. She now seated herself opposite to
the window, carelessly.opened her book, and,
after every : burriedqe,rse, her eye glanced out
into the fteld;ito, *fiee'if the rain was begin
ning 'abate. S(i when' she sang her hytiani

noted down.
A few minutes afterwards there was a tap.
at the door, and Bell Marks appeared, shook
the wet' from her shilling uhbrella, rubbed
her shoes, on the mat,' shook hands with the
sisters and sat down.
"Why, Bell, what brings you through
such pelting, rains inquired Nancy.
"I thought atop here a few moments
for' shelter. Pm on my way to Farmer

" I dare' say it's true enough," said Rose.
" I only'wonder that they've let her stay so
long. I cannot bear that girl."
"Nor I," rested Bell, " she's so proud."
" And BO selfish," exelfilined Rose. '
"I wolidef Wha' they 'ava tarried - her off

" I dare say," answoreditose, " that she

—Why, Nance ! what are you doing?'
added she, suddenly turning round toward.
her sister.
" There id no room on my paper," said
Nancy, quietly laying down the penal.
As soon , as Bell had departed, Rose took
up the paper with a blushing cheek, and read
the record of her " idle words.
"0, Nancy !" she cried, "it is not yet

think, Nancy ?"
"The Lord Jesus has said so. By thy
words thou shalt be justified, and by thy
words thou shalt' be condemned.'"
".Then what will become of me`?" cried
poor Rose. . ." I shall never be able to stand

MENA& EDITORS is sometime Biwa,
I have written you from this old city,
" away: down'East ;" and indeed there has
been little cause for me to write, as your
" Eastern Summary," has kept. your read
ers so - very well informed of, our mat
ters "here in the East." as I have
been a weekly reader of your , exeel
lent.paper from,. the commencement rof <the
Banner, andtan,ocoasional correspondent, it
has seemed,meet to me to write. and 'refer,
to Amine items =of interest among, us, net
named, by you.
As Education is a theme ever, prominent
among our citizens, both East and West,
I will speak of a few points pertaining to
.that subject.
Our Leaislature has ever been ready to
vote money to any object which has given
promise of advaninng 'this noble cause,- and
they are now about making a permanent an
nual appropriation to 'the 44 Massachusetts
State Teachers' Association." The dona
tions, publionndlorivate to.Hariard College,
have given that, corporation. more money
than they, know how to expend, while the
other Colleges in this Commonwealth, Wil
liams and Amherst, have each had large
appropriations from the public chest. The
amount. raised annually, by taxation, in the
State, for our Public Schools, is very large.
But all these for the Public Schools and
Colleges, scarcely keep pace with that which
is annually expended for , private tuition.
As a Specimen in proof of this statement,
let me inferm your readers that two of the
teachers of the Public Schools of Boston,
within a abort period, have left their situa
tions to 'open Vrivate • schools for young
ladieg in this'•iiity. One of them was the
master of the, High and Normal School for
girls, andlNies receiving tiventyleight
dred dollar!' Salary, a year, and the School'
Board would have raised it to three tholisand;
if he had remained under • their patronage.
But he left, and is making five thousand in
a private school. This is but one specimen,
(though a prominent one,) out of many.
But, in all that is expended for education,
and in the various plans devised and carried
out, to educate our youth, there- has been
manifested great neglect of physical train
ing ; especially has this been the case
athong our girls. Everything but this has
been done. But this, in many respects the
most important of all, has been neglected,
- to,the shame'of the teachers, and the death
of the pupils.
Recently, however, a benevolent individ
ual has donated eight hundred dollars to
fu'rnish a gymnasium for Harvard College.
Private schools and Seminaries are also
coming into this measure.
Last Summer, a gentleman of this city,
formerly a clergyman, but who left the
,pastoral office on -account of failure of
health, and has since been for years a prac
ticing physician in Boston, seeing the sad
havoc made to female health,• for the want
of proper physical training in our schools,
private" as well as public, opened an Institute
in the neighboring city of RoibUry, to meet
this want.. A' notice of this school, under
the name of the f 4 Dearborn Institute," was
published in your paper. The object was
to make a home, where young ladies who
wished, to study, should be provided with.
Competent teachers, and those who had
health, should have every measure used' to
preserve it, and- those who had l it not, and
were unable 'to study, should hive every
possitile measure used to restore it. The
success, was considerable, and pupils, or
patients, or both, came from different Stitt(
It waslound, however, that Roxbury was
not the best place for such an Institute, and
it has been removed into Boston. It is
now,.so far as the health, physical; training,
and medical attendance upon the pupils, is
'Concerned, under the supervision of Dr.
Wm. M.:Cornell,-of Boston. The teachers
in the school are of tlae first order, and ex
perienced in instructing. It is making. a
"home" for several young married ladies,
(whose hutibands are called abroad by busi
-nese ) ) Who-are not in very'good health, or
who wish to' perfect themselves in some
parrioular'branohis of study, as well as for
young ladies and misses.
But the chief feature in which this
school differs , from " most others, is in the
physical training, and devotion to the health
of all the inmates, " It is, in this respect,",
says a prominent, friend of Education,
," just what is *anted."
It is a pleasing-feature of our times, that
more attention itbeing paid to health, upon
which usefulness," comfort; andlifei are so
dependent. *

times, though there are a feW 'which' are
never wholly cut off in any season. Grass,
for example, always yields a partial orop, and
a person may, if need be, depend 'wholly
upon this product as a means of enbaistence.
The' same thing; however, can hardly be
said"of any other staple crop. Innumerable
illustrations might be given of the danger
of depending upon a single crop. The re=
suit in Ireland of relying , upon the Totato
crop is patent. The &Hite of the Wheat
crop, in many parts of this country; has in
volved thousands of farmers in debt; which
it will take years of toil 'and economy to
liquidate. A friend at the West had been
so successful in raking peaches, that he
turned his whole attention to that 'dep.
Last year he; realized a' large net - prott,', and
looking for still greater results , this year; he
laid out liis plans accordingly, and '`incurred
considerable debts to be paid from the 'pro
ceeds of his peaches. The result is, that
from five or , six thousand trees - het gathers
scarcely two bushels of marketable fruit.
A mixed enitivation is the - safest in the
long run. If the potato crop fails, let there
be corn, wheat, barley, or other grain to fall
back upon. The chances' of utter 'failure
are diminished a thousand fold Where there
are three or four -different- crops under cul
ture. A season destruetire to one is likely
to be just the thing far the other.---Ameri

We refer to
- Dr. Cha& lilliant's Celebrated
Vermifuge and Liver Pills.
We do riot recommend them as
universal Cure-alls, but simply for
what their name purports, viz. :
THE VERMIFUGE,
For expelling Worms from the
human system. It has also been
administered with the most satis
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LI VER PILLS,
For the cure of LIVER COMPLAINTS,
all BILIOUS DERANGEMENTS, SICK
IIEAD-ACHE, &c. cases of
FEVER AND AGUE )
preparatory to or after taking Qui
nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.
As specifici for the above men
` tinned diseases, they are Unrivaled,
and never known to fail when ad
ministered in accordance with the
directions.
Their unprecedented popularity
has induced the proprietors,
FLEMING BROTHERS,
PITTSBURGH, PA.
to dispose of their Drug business,
in which they have been success
fully engaged for the last Twenty
Years, and they will now give their
undiVided time and attention to
their manufacture. And being de
termined that Dr. MEarie's Cele
brated Vennifuge and Liver Pills
shall continue to occupy the high
position they now hold among the
great remedies of the day, they
will continue to spare neither time
nor expense in procuring the Best

pound them in the most thorough
manner. Address all - orders to
