In wy-INamtnitAof-timnffottif.Sadaziais
ism upon " Harvard Colteg,e," I pure e
now to, speak,of the effect produced tsyrqscs •

arianism upen "Brown Upiverskt,y,' _Amok
charter, this University (locabed--on Law* ,
t;,ful bill overlooking the, pioitsvoictue city
of Providence, in Rhode Island,) must have
a man of the Baptist denothination for its
Presided. But the charter- sari' -nothing
about the denominational standing of the
other wembera of the Faculty.
Thirty five or forty yeare•sgo, the .officers
of this University were,rosde up of gentle
men of various , religious , sects, each as Bap,.
fists, Congregationalists, Episeopaliausi &to.
'Then, Rev Asa.Messer was, the President.
He was a man of talent, of much learning,.
but very, uncouth in,hiuroonors.
popular for many years, and the number oft.
students laps larger uoderthis Presidency
than it has•ever been since.
As In my last, I spoke , of the, anomoly
an Episcopal unitarian church, ruanaely

Unitarian Baptist. He,•held on
to immersion as the only valid mu4etog,l3ap
tism ; and, while ,he. sexicpely. coveted
ig much water," like:other Baptists,..
them, be embraced Unitaxian sentiments.
In consequence oft-. this, .the corpfiritick. l l
of " Brown "—a large. number of whom
wore Baptist olorgymen—were divided in
opinion, as to the pruptiety.aud, expediency
of Dr. Meseer's remaining the President, of
the University. Long and sharp was the
contest.
About the year . 1823 or ...1824, an
event transpired which, •wak.ouri9Roi,as it

Unitarians, or onthingarians. Threenf•the,
class which graduated in 1825, namely,
Messrs Sears, Stone„ and
.4ewtort, all zeal.
one Baptiste, carried matters to such an ex
tent that they were arraigned before Presi.
dent Messer The two last named reamed!
to recant, and Dr. Meant expelled.. them ;
but the other, , though equally zealous, as ,a
Baptist, became frightend at the thought of
expulsion, and saved himself by recanta
tion. lt , wasvinerally thought •that Stone

College from .ienieli -he-bad.heea r thrust.
Eaely : in-,.-t.be,year 1827, Rev. Francis
Wayland, D.D., was appointed .Preeidept.
Dr. 'W. came with a high reputation for,
scholarship, and was in many- neepects a , man.
of eighty. But he did not 'slimmed as a
President. The:College.never„hadJia.many
students during the twenty five years which
he occupied the Presidential Chair, as it
hattiluruig-theeedertinietembicin--o .E.Deesident-

The question was often slaked, "-How-is:At

But there was a reason for-this falling off
in ihe number of plipils..tinder Dr. Way— ,
land, and that reason was, the fame which
has been already named, as. the.o.ause of
lessening the etudenta at Ilar.vard. In, a
word, it was Sectarianism.
How far Dr. Wayland. wasminonsiblafor
this increase of ca . .Seciarian spiky, I will not
pretend to say. He certainly never ap.
peared like.a•bigot. But:the following facts
speak loudly on thiastiliject : When. Dr.. W.
came to " Brown," the Bon. Tristam Bar
gees, L L D., (one of the greatest men.that•
was ever raised in Rhode Island, and infer
ior to few raised in any State of the Unioir
.....a member of Congteas,) was,Profeesor,of
Belles Letters, De Wolte, of Bristol, Ina-
Professor of Chemistry. Each of these

resointion was adoptedhy the , oorporatiou,

by, this movement, its two ,most.• efficient
officers, and it has never since 1104. as
many pupils as it had during their off i cial
career. Prof. Burgess died about two years
since, at the ii - dvaneed age of ninety )ears.
De olfe still Jives.
I suppose it must , be.admitted that, one.
other item okotribated to this end, to wit,
Dr. W., as ;!often said of great and• good
men, could soateely descend to the,lev.el_ of
young men. In a word, it was not in his
nature to be social and easy with theni,,
This, undoubtedly, bad its share in dimin
ishing the.number of students. It is gen
er4lly considered that the present Presi
dent, though not equal to his immediate
predecessor in point of ability, philosophi
cal and scientific, is for superior in the
f 4 genteel," in. courtesy and kindness .to.the
pupils.
In the early history of this old Universi
ty, the majority , of its pupils were from
other than the Baptist denomination. But
latterly, it hae,been furnished chiefly by.the
Baptist. The standing of ti Brown ' has

Aware of the folly which leads certain- weak minds to
attach a degree of odium to the life of a oin Ale woman, the
writer of-this volume has endeavored to depict a. character
purified and ennobled by early trials, not unusual or ezeg•
gerated; a character which has its counterpart around us,
in many a happy home.
She has endeavored to show that although denied by
Providence those natural ties, so sweet when bellowed by
true piety, she may still gather around her a circle of
loving hearts, Who rt)7BotDOe ht; name and rejoice in.the
suillglit'whleh she iierYwgere creates. • •'

This volume cannot fail to stimulate religious thought

views. It places within the Christian fold many who claim

spiritual obaraoter which are vitally distinct from those
width are current in the popular religion of the day. It
is one of the books to be read, marked and inwardly
digested.

T HE PACIFIC sairosrros.
. .
The power of the Press is beyood all calculation. Eternity
Only can reveal its influence upon mankind. All sects and
reneminations, all school', creeds, and parties understand
the necessity of using the Press to propagate : and defend
their opinions and measured.. They all have their organs,
from, the daily sheet to the stately quarterly.
It Is not on; wish, however, to. interfere by this publics
tion, with any other, but to supply what seems to us to be
i special and. pressing want. on; this coast. It is believed
there is no portion of our whole oontinent, where a work
of this kind le so much needed as- in Celiforoia. In pro
'portion to the number of inhabitants, there is here more
mind and more capability of reading, and more need of
reading of the right kind, than In any other part of the
globe.
The PACIFIC • EXPOSITOR is to be devoted to the exPo
sition of God's Word, and the preaching of the Gospel,
according to the Standards of our Church. We wish to do
by; the Press,, for, ,our felloarreitisens, just what we do for
Calvary eongregetion evßry.Babbath ; that is, to expound,
explain and-preach to them the , Word •of•the Living God,
we would, if - possible, furnith.senoons to be read on the
Lord's day, inthelonely place of our valleys and mountains,
where there is no pastor or evangelist to open his month
and show the way of salvation; and into the crowded vil
lage of miners, farmers, and travelers, where as yet there
is no house worship, we desire to send the EX.PoSITOR, to
open to them the Scriptures, and preach unto them Jesus.
It is well Iteown'that a large number, of the half million of
unds that are on this
,waist,. do not attend any church or
meeting-house; many' thousands of them never hear a
sermon preached from year to year. We would humph
them with such reading as would remind them of their
early training—the home of their youth—and cause them
to seekandeervetthe God-of their 'Sabers, with a perfact
heart and a willing mind. We hope to embody In our
pages sterling truths; truths calculated to enlighten the
mind, elevate the heart, and purify the affections; truths
drawn' chiefly from the Word of. God, and presented In a
plain, clear and forcible style, that they may be suitable
for all classes, and be read by all the members of a family.
We hope to make the EXPOSITOR a missionary, that may;
preach even where the colportenr and the evangelist do
not go.
Our own time and brain-toil are cheerfully given to the
work, for the sake of trying to preach' in this way, from
the Press, especially to those who are not within the sound
of the voice of the living preacher.' The editor and put.
Mbar_ do not propene to make money -by the work. They
desihronly such aid from their fellow-citisens as will meet
the expanses of publication. Not one•dollar of the sub-.
seriptiona will be appropriated to-the editor's private use.
All that Is Subscribed beyond the actual coat, will be spent
in extending the circulation of the work among our
miners, mato-drivers, farmers, sailors and travelers. The
wipoactos will be issued every.month, at three dollars per
annum,,in advance. It will make an octavo volume of over
six hundred pages. It Is very neatly printed, and on good
paper The ..postage prepaid to any part of the United '
States Is one MT for each number. Gold dollars, or three
dollar pieces, or drafts on the. San Francisco Express Com
panies, can be sent at our risk, by mall. Four numbers
have been belied. The work can be furnished to subscribers
from.the,b,sginning.
TO my friends and the Christians of "the blessed old
States," I would say, that .though California is making
them rich, we are poor, sad In building up Christian institu
tions, we need not only your prayers and sympathy, but we
need your contributions. As a• miSatona.y. agency, it le
difficult to see how you can do as much by three dollars In
any other way, as you can do . by subscribing for this work:
By means of the Poet Office, you can semi it to prench to
thousands, that have been' taught to read, but do not attend
church, and indeed have none to go to.
*fie- Ministers, elders, church officers and others, who are
friendly to_ this work, are -invited to set as agents in pro-
curing eubscrlbers. A liberal commission will be allowed.
Life is short The night oometh soon, when no man can

MEDICAL.
DR. R. A. WILSON'S PILLS.
Having retired from the practiee of medicine, I may be
permitted to say that it has fallen to the lot of but few
persons to hare enjoyed so liberal or large a share of
obstetrical practice as my own has been for the last thirty
or forty yeare.
The experience of that long period of active life, and the
fact of my having been twice, since 1830. sesotiated with
Dr. It. A. Wilson, in the practice of medicine, (ha bath a
period of five years,) enables me to judge folly of the merits
'of his pills.
Bo convenient, so efficient, and yet so safe, did I esteem
these pills, that.for the last five years in practice, for the
mire of chronic diseases' of whatever mune. and those of
-females in particular, I haws need more of them than all
other medicines.. Like every other medicine, these must
fail in some instances, bat in my bands there baa been lees
disappointment and more satisfaction in tie administration
of this one remedy than of all others—lts good effects
sometimes quite astonishing me.
If my patient required a safo aperient - medicine, either
before or after parturition, the Wilson's Pills were just the
thing I wanted.
If d dyspeptic acid condition of the stomach, combined
with costiveness, or Inactivity of the liver, constituted the
disease of my patient, the pills were just the thing' I
wanted.
If I treated a ease requiring an emmenagegne, the Wa
aon'e Pine were jnat the thing I wanted.
If palpitation. headache, Duetted couutenance, or other
difficulties indicating a disturbance of the circulatory and
secretory systems, annoyed my patient at the turn of life,
the Wilson's Pills were jnet the thing I wanted.
Thus, without respect to the name a disease mighthappen
to wear at the time I have had It under treatment, parttcu
' lar indications or symptoms arising were always most
promptly and most happily met by the Wilson's Pills.
That so great a nnmber of diseases, and sometimes
apparently opposite ones, in which I have used those pills,
should he cured more readily by them than by any other
'remedy, mar at first seem strange and contradictory, but
why it is so, Is as clear to my mind as theta great many
persons should become thirsty from as many-different
causes, and yet all ragnirStbitcommomand greatest of, all
blessings. water, to quench their thirst.
la conclusion, it is due the reputation of medicine and
the public to say, decidedly and unconditionally, that the
Wilson's Pills are the only combination I have ever met
with In my long course of practice that really 'possess any
thing curative or specific for nick headache.
Yours, de., DR. MILO ADAMS.
