THE INT,EITIONS OF TILE MIND INDUC

The previous publications of Dr. McCosh have
given hima-high reputation both in Great Brit
ain and this country, as a clear and vigorous
thinker, while Art general, his principles have been
in aectordatice iiith the views entertained by Di
-thee and' MetAphy,sicians of the Old School"
order. But in, the very outset of the' present.
Work,. he indietites an apprehension that the
ground taken unit will not be generally adopted,
since he stands about equally distant from Trans
'cendentalism and Sensationalism. He thinks,
that in avoiding both extremes, he is able to dis
sever by observation and facts, a foundation laid
by (lot{ himself. •j'n treating Mental Science, he
seloPts- the indrictive method, believing that it
may be applied:to the study of the mind, as well
as ta gie inv‘tiptfon of the material universe;
in the study of, the former'we use what is com
monly termed • eielf.cotiscioustiess, but in the lat
ter the external sense is employed as the instru
ment. He plants himself fairly and squarely on
the doctrine of intuitional and immediate percep
iions and conVctions, without any doubt or hes
itancy. His views on the 'controverted subject of
the. Tilt, are not entirely such as to meet the ap
probalion of the ischool'of theologians to which
the author his been 'generally considered to be
;long. But notwithstanding this, the work is one
that :richly deserves study, and that will add
viery othittiderablY to the already . bigh reputation
,of, the author.; He has but few equals in hand
h ag,the weapons of metaphysics and logic.

EIMICIS
Bait thy Bread on all Waters.
Last Winter I was boarding with a wid
ow lady who had-three children; two little
-girls, and one little „boy, then three years
old. I doterminedio cast some crumbs of
the Brad deli% A.' their young' hearts.
Allied' ever reveningtthey would come to
my room to listen 'to 'Bible stories; or learn
some sweet, little , hymn. One of their fa
yerite...hymus ,commeneed with the follow
.
ing stanza:
•
went to be like JOSIIS,
So-lOWly and so meek,.
Fern° one marked an, angry word
That ever beard him speak."
Thus I endeavored to, sow good •seed in
their youthful hearts. A year had almost
passe& since then,
when I was invited to
take tea withthis lady.' The' children soon
4 rdmil me, beggiN that I would
Aelbt • nalustow. • After the girls had each
...asked lerone, And I had tried to• relate
them in the. 'mist attractive manner, I
turned to the little boy (who had' been sit
ting" very quietly at my, feet,) and said,
"Sammy, what shall I tell'you ?" After a
moments' hesitation; he replied, "Please,
- t - elhnc - aiMnt - Jesus." 0 l how it reproved
his sisters, who were both older than he
'was; and•'howwell I deserved the gentle
censure ," said; " Why do you want to
hear ribotti Jesus?" a Because,' said he,

,Pthau told , hink of the birth, childhood,

viour: He seemed to forget everything
that was around him, and listened with in
tense earnestness to every word that I was
King.; occasionally asking some question,
showing,thit ;his , whole thoughts were of
Jesus. I looked up,Mid a tear glistened in
that mother's eye. Soon she sent the chil
dren away. She is not a Christian ; but
iinmediately site commenced talking about
. Sammy; and Said, that he had often asked
citioittOits about some Bible story that I
had told --him , last 'Winter, and she would
;have to read it herself before she could tell
ihim. She is a very poor woman; earns
her living by hard labor, and says she used
, tothink at nights that she was too tired to
read so 'dry a book as she supposed the
Bible(*as • but through the 'questions that
her little asked day by day, she learn

Truths lor Wives.
In domestic - happiness, the wife's influ
ence is much greater than . her hitsband's;
for the one, the first cause—mutual love
and confidence-4eing granted, the whole
comfort of the household' depends upon
trifles more immediately under her juris
diction.: By her managenient of'small
sums, her husban'd's respectability and
credit are created or destrOyed. No for
tune elm stand the constant : leakages dux
triVagance and mismanagement; rand,mbre
is spent in , trifles than women would easily
believe. The one great expense, whatever
it may be, is turned over and carefully re
flected on ere incurred; the , income is pm
pared to meet it; but it is 'pennies imper
ceptibly sliding away whir& do the mis
chief; and this the wife alone can stop, for
it does not come within a:man's province.
There is often an unsuspected trifle to
be saved in every household. It is not in
economy alone that the wife's attention is
.so necessary, but in those:-niceties which
make a well regulated house. An untar
nished cruet-stand, a missing key, a but
tonless shirt, a soiled table-cloth, a mustard
pot with its old contents sticking hard and
brown about it, are severally nothings ;.but
each can raise an ,dtagrY'ive4l, Cause :dia..
comfort. Depend upon it, there's a great
deal of domestic happine,ss nn,a well dress
ed mutton-chop, or a tidy - breakfast-table.
Men grow sated of beauty, tired of music,
are often too wearied, for conversation,
however intellectual; . but they 'can always
appreciate a well-swept hearth, and smiling
comfort.
A woman may love her husband devoted
ly—may sacrifice fortune, friends family,
country, for him—she may have the genius
of a Sappho, the enchanted 'beauties of an
Armida; but—melancholy fact—if with
these she fail to make his hOrne comforta
ble his heart will inevitably'. escape 'her.
And women live so entirelyin the affections,
that, without love, their existence is a void.
Better 'submit, then, to household tasks,
however repugnant they may be to your
tastes, than doom yourself to a loveless
home. Women of high order of mind will
not run this risk; they knew that their
feminine, their domestic, are' their first du-
Cos.—Examiner.
American Girls..
American girls of good education do not
know how lucky they are. y Every Ameri
can girl who is sane and sound-rand many
who are neither the one nor the other—has
not one, but many chances of marrying. It
is very different in Europe. In the coun
try towns in England, marrying men are so
rare that it is quite common' to see a dozen
charming girls, all well educated, pretty,
and lady-like, fighting for ;`a_ half-starved
curate, or wretched attorney.., Among Eng
lish mothe,rs, match-making is Carried on to
an extent unknown here, (save in the very
highest circles of our aristocracy;) and
this, not from mean motives, but from sheer
necessity. In France no father expects his
daughter to get a husband unless she buys
him.
.Every man who has a daughter be
gins, when she is eight or ten years old, to
save money for her dot---i. e., the, purchase
money of her husband. Papa and mamma
deprive . themselves of brx.uries, and even
necessaries, to amass a respectable sum
the boy's education is cut short and their
patrimony discounted, in order to swell the
dot. In proportion to its amount is the
quality of the husband. A father who can
give his daughter half a million of francs,
will expect a General or a' Senator; he
who has a huldred thousand to bestow will
fix his mark at a rising lawyer, a dashing
colonel, or a prefect; he who - has amassed
twenty thousand francs will, be satisfied
with a young merchant or clever doctor.
But he who has no money to give his daugh
ter will never expect her to marry at all.
The marriage d' amour is ritliorouoilly ob
. z,
snlete institution in France.y-.:ln Germany
and indeed throughout Europe, the
rapidly becoming.the same.H fah'er
expects his daughter to marry inliar btOlfer
a husband. Hearts were once conquered,
the poets say;'but now they ate bought.
'T is simpler I—Hayper's Weekly.
An Old Saying,
Littleipeople, as every body knows, are
apt to forget the proverb, "_A place for
every thing and every thing its place."
This is a very serious faUlt, and often
causes great inconvenience' to themselves
and • others. A boy is sent on an errand,
and must go immediately; but he cannot
.find his hat, and he cannot go without it.
Se runs one way and another, and much
time is lost before the missing hat it
found.
Or - a little girl is going to school. It is
but fifteen minutes to nine.. o'clock, but,
where is her bonnet ? She 'canna remota
ber where she . has put it, and 'looks in all
direetions bid in vain. " Oh dear, what
shall I to ?" she says ; "do Mary, help
me - find --my.. bonnet.' -After 'searching
some tiine,-Mary finds it behind the wood'-
box in the 'kitchen, whereit was thrown in
haste, the day previous; and the little girl
goes- , tp , school -crying, late,--and displeased
with herself and every body else.
Another is making a diem and apron for
her doll, but cannot find her needle and
thread or-scissors. She runs -to:her moth
er, and'asks - for 'hers; but her
,mother says,
"No, dear, you must look for' your own."
At length the needle is found on the table
coverrthe; thread- had' rolled; away under
'the table, the'scissors were - Where she
tied been cutting taper dolls, and the thiin
ble cannot be found. All this consumes
time andTatience, but' children think little
of the value of time, yet
tho little moments,
Humble though they be,
Make the mightyages.
Of eternity.',
I have a work-box which belonged to a
little girl five years old, who,has.gone to
the. Saviour. - - It is now just, as she left it,
four years ago. The key. is tied to a green
ribbon,'and I often take it, unlock - . the box,
and look at the contents. This little girl
liked to have her own things, and was care
ful to keep them in their places. One day
a little peddler boy came in, and she asked
me to buy for her some needles, thread, and
tape. I did so, and what she did trot use
is still in the work-box. In one compart- 1
moot are some little books,..laid- up care-
fully, the largest at. the bottom, and the
smallest at the top. In another are some
pencils, and a, small hair brush, -which she
usedin painting pictures, a spool of thread,
and a roll of tape. In the xaiddle are two
needles and some pins upon, - a cushion;
also, a thimble and paper! of needles ;,a
knife.and scissors, ia places made for them.
Whenever she had used thent—perhips
several. times a day—she alwaya,returned.
each article to its place again. A bureau
drawer, was given up to her, and midi arti
' tiale.in it was always laid .smoothlr; and
when two nails were driven id a Partienlar
place -for her bonnet and cape, she was care
ful to hang-them there. •
It is pleasant to recall these`things, now
:that , she •is gone. Would that all iny
young friends had this habit of order, and

Dr. Ephraim Savard—Nechlenbiirg Derlara-
In a book pUblialted Louisville, y.,
in 1855, by T-. Marshall Smith; styled
"Le.gends of the War of Independence,"
there is given a very interesting account of
the Mecklenburg Declaration Of Independ.
mice. Dr. Ephraim Bavard (not Bravard) .
was "an elder at Almance," and not a min
ister. He was a Chairman,of a Committee
of three appointed to draft a paper for the
adoption of the Convention met at. Meck
lenburg, North Carolina, May 19 and 20,
1775_ Abralam Alexander was Chairman
of the Convention, and J. McKnight
Alexander and Dr. Bayard were Secrets,
ries. The Committee to . draft the Declare,
tion were Dr. Ephraim Bavard, Rev. liez
ekiah James Balch, and Mr. Kennon. Mr.
Smith refers to Rev. Dr. Wm. Henry Foot,
in his sketches of North Carolina, and to
the work of Jo. Seamen Jones' defence' of i
the State of North Carolina from the ai
persions of Mr. Jefferson.
This Mecklenburg Declaration is
.one
the most curious things in all the history
of the American Revolution. It was writ
ten and presented by a committee, the
draftsman of Which was a Presbyterian
elder, and another member of it a Presby7
terian minister, and what the third (Me.
Kennon,) was, we cannot say, This
Declaration is a year older than Mr. Jeffer
son's celebrated paper, the Declaration of
Independence; and that it was the first
Declaration of Independence is obvious
enough to those who will compare the
spirit, style, and language of the two
papers. When the elder Adams in .1819,
first read the Mecklenburg paper, he was
amazed to astonishment, and sent it to
Jefferson immediately, whom it suited to
treat it as spurious. When the paper was
adopted, it was sent to Mr. Jefferson in
Philadelphia,. Who, -supposing. it. to be
ahead of the times; put.it in his pocket,
instead of presenting itto, Congress. But
that Mr. J., a year afterward, got the em
bodiment of his Declaration of Independ
ence from the. Mecklenburg resolutions
seems about as certain as certainty it s elf,
and that so late as 1819, he may haie for
gotten his ind l ebtedness 'to that paper, if
possible at all, is barely possible. H.

The States of the Church, as they are at
present, or as they were less than a year
ago, consist -of two nnequal-portions„ the
larger lying East of the Appenine moun
tains andstretching' along between - those
, the
Northern
and the Adriatic, from the
Northern boundary of the kingdom of
Naples to the river Po, which forms the
line between the kingdom of the Pope and
the Austrian vice-roalty of Venetia. This
-Eastern portion of the States of •the
Church embraces nine provinces or lega
tions, and about two millions of inhabit
ants. On or near the Adriatic stands
Forme, Loretto, Ancona, Sinigaglia, Pe
saro, Rimini, and •Ravenna; whilst in the
interior, and not far from the mountains,
are the cities of Camerino, Urbino, Forli,
and Bologna. The smaller part comprises
the eight provinces or legations which lie
West of the Appenines, between those
mountains and the Mediterranean, and has
about one million of inhabitants, of 4hom
one hundred and seventy-five thousand
dwell in the city of Rome. The entire
kingdom of His Holiness may therefore be
said to have three millions' of 'souls, and
its geographical extent is not far from six
teen thousand square miles. By nature it
is one of the finest countries in the world.

The Rev. Ralph Erskine, on a certain
occasion, paid a visit to his venerable
brother Ebenezer.
"0, man," said the latter, " but you
come in a gude time. I have a diel of ex
amination to-day, and ye maun tali' it, as
I have matters o' importance to settle at
Perth."
" , With all my heart," quoth Ralph,
" Noo," says Ebenezer, " ye 'll find a' my
folks easy, to examine but ane, and him .E
reckon ye had better na, meddle wi'. He
has an old fashioned Scotch way o' answer
ing ane question by putting another, and
maybe he 'll' affront ye."
"Affront me," quoth the indignant theo
logian, " do ye think he.can' foil me wi' my
ane tools ?"
" Aweel," 'says his'brother, " rse gie ye
fair warning, ye - had better na ca' him upY

determined to silence him at once with a

Some were dressed with nicest care ;

Some were slow, and scarred, and spare,
Taught too soon life's toil to share.

Patter up the self same_ street,
Bunning oft along the edge
On the green turf by the hedge,

Take it just as though it was—as it le
an earnest, vital, important affair. Take it,
as though you were born to the task of per
fainting a merry part in it---as though the
world had waited: for your coming. Take
it; as though it' WAS a grand 'opportunity to
do and to achieve, , to carry forward great
and geed schemes ; to help and cheer a suf
fering, weary, it May be, heart-broken bro
ther. The fact is, life is undervalued by a
great majority of mankind. It is not made
half se . much of as should be the case.

fert'l If we, knew better how to do and
make. the most of life, it would be far great-•
er than _it is. ,Now and, then a man stands
6ide from the crowd, labors, earnestly,
'steadfastly, 'Confidently, and straightway be
deme 'famons - for wisdom, intellect, skill,
greatness of some sort. The world wond
exs, admires, idolizes, and it only illustrates
what others may do, if they take hold ot
life w with a purpose. The miracle, or the
power= that elevates the few, is to be sought
in their industry, application, and persever
ance, under the promptings of a bsave, de

The first volume of this great work had a remarkable imo-
Ctlia. and by the gammal voice of the hest critics, the author
is assigned a place in'the front rank of American Historians.
The Breton Journal says of him: " Many of his admirers
regard'him ea the most promising candidate, among younger
writers, to filthy place in our literature, lett vacant by ' the
death of Proecott."
ThOsecord-volume will by.found more fascinating than the
lint. It combines tho charm of romance with the truthful
ness of history.

prominent militaryofficers and civilians in. India. Life in
Indirg. in all itswonderful variety, is finely portrayed. both

which the providential government of God revolves, and toward
which all human thought and action converge. Tile volume

telligent religious minds.
We believe a general -record like thift, to which every - one
might turn for authentic information on all topics of current
.religions interest, has long been wanted, and would be found
of great convenience, not only to clergymen and other church
officers, but to all interested in the moral and religious move
'mutt tif the age. It has been the Win, of the publisher's to
slippy this want, and in THE AMERICAN CHRISTIAN
RECORD to pebnent - a" work" which would enable all Oletili-
Coatv familiarly to understand ono anther's faith,' efforts,
and strength; in which' each should be .able to read the plait
and, present story of his-particular denomination, and com
pare it with that of others; and in which all might perceive
at a glance; first, the efforts of individual institutions. and
then"the result of their united operations throughout the
entire world.
In conclusion, We voiiture to tray, that so vast an anionnt of
varied information on religions subjects has never before
been broutht within the compass of a single volume.

THE PACIFIC EXPOSITOR.
... •
The PACIFIC EXPOSITOR is to be devoted to the expo
salon of God's Word, and the preaching of the Gospel, ac-
cording to the Standards of our Church.. We wish to do by
the Press, for our fellow-citirsna, just what we do for Calvary
congregation every Sabbath ; that is, to expound, explain and
preach to them the word of the Living God. We would, if
possible, furnish sermons to be read on the LonFerday, in the
lonely 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 village of minors, farmers,
and travellers, where es yet there is no house of worship, we
desire to vend WO EXPOSITOR, i 0 open to them the Scriptures,
and preach unto them Josue. Ic,is well ; known that a large
number of the half million of souls that are on this coast do
not attend any church or mooting-house ;' - many thowantule of
them never hear a sermon preached from year to year. We
would furnish them with such reading as would remind them
of their early training—the home of.their youth--and cause
them to seek and serve the God of their fathers, with a per
fect heart mid s willing mind. Wo hope to' make the
EXPOSITOR a missionary, that may preach oven' where the
colportour and the evangelist do not gq..
Not one dollar ofthe subscriptions will be appropriated to
the editor's private use. All that is subieribed beyond the
actual cad, will be spent in • extending thoscirculation of the
work among our miners, cattle-drivers, fitrmers, sailori, and
travellers. The EXPOSITOR will he !glued every month, at
Three Dollars per annum, in advance. It will make an
Octave volume of over six hundred papa It Is very neatly
piinted, and on good paper. The postage prepaid to any
part of the United States is owe eawr for each number. Gold
dollar", or three'dollar pieces, or drafts on the San Francisco
Exprees Companies, can be sent at our risk, by mail.
To my friends and the. Christ - beau of '!the blessed old
States," I would say, that though California is making them
rich, we are poor, nod in building up
.Christian
we need not only .your prayers and sympathy, but we need
your contributions. As a missionary agency, it is difficult
see how you an do as much by three dollars in any other
way, as you can do by subscribing for.this work. 137 means
of the Pose Office, you can send it to 'preach to thousands,
that have been taught to read, but do not 'attend church, and
indeed have none to go to. .

A NEW ERA-IN
Sewing
WACAILAVAIEWACIST.3IIESNI
During the last fourteen years; some four hundred patents
bare been granted on inventions designed to lighten the
drudgery of family sewing, and at the slime time to produce a
machine that could be profitably mod for manufacturing
purposes; but, strange to say, out of this large number &
Sewing Machines. only some half dozen have-been proven to
bo of practical value; and of thispriall number, not one has
in it combined the advantages of a-fandly and manufact uring Machine. There are large, heavy, noisy, cumbrous, and
complicated machines, designed for heavy work, that answer
the purpose very well; while there are others of light
mechanism and delicate adjustments, which perform on lig,ht
work to advantage; and While the former ire exclu-
Sively confined to heavy work, the litter are of little value,
except on light fabrics. Therefore I take great pleasure, ha
stating the important fact that Mr. HORN, the original in
ventor of Sewing Machines, has recently perfected hie Shuttle.
Machine so as to combine, in a much emall6r space and with
, far less machinery, the strength and durability of the manu
facturing machines, and at the same time possessing that
delicacy of movement and ease of operation peculiar to the
family machine, and whirls renders this the only machine in
market capable of working equally odd Me lOtest and

Jonas Whitcomb's Remedy,
Prepared from a German recipe obtained by the late Jonas
Whitcomb, in Stirope. It is well known to have alleviated
this disorder in his ease,' when all other appliances of medical
skill had been abandoned by him despair . In no case of
purely asthmatic charactir has it failed to give immediate re
lief, and it hos effected many permanent cures. Within the
past two years this remedy has been need in thousands of
cases with astonishing and uniferru success. It contains no
poisonous or injurious properties whatever; an infant may
take it with perfect safety.
The following certificates furnish conclusive evidence of
the power of this remedy :
WARDSBO2.O', VT, May 12,1857
Dix BLIENZTT :—I take pleasure in stating the wonderful
effects of "Whitcomb's Remedy for the Anthma," on my
'wife. She had suffered for years more than my pen. can
&ascribe, with the xposmodic form of that terrible disease.
Al often as ten or twelve times in a year she was brought to
the very gates of death, requiring two or three watcher
sometimes. , for several- days and night. in BUrceilision- At
times, for limns, It would seem as if every breath must be the
last. We were obliged to open doors and windows in ndd-
Winter, and to resort to every expedient that affection could
de*lse, to keep her alive. At ono time she was eo far gone
that hor physician could not count her pulse. At length I
hnsrd of "Whitcumb'e Remedy." It acted like a charm. It
enabled her to sleep quietly in a few minutes. * * * *

Happy to answer any inquiries respecting her ease, and you

ASTHMA.
GENTIAN= is now nearly.tweive menthe since I re-
Oeiied the first bottle of your valuable medicine for the cure
of the Asthma., I was determined to give it a thorough trial.
and to convince myself that it was through its affect that I
was being so muck benefited, before I wrote you. lam now
satisfied that my relief from one of the most aggravating.
moat distressing, and most unrelenting disorders that ever
afflicted a human being, is to be attributed wholly to this
remedy. For thirteen years I suffered with the Asthma, and
during thattime there were butfric.moiltha in which I did
not sufferwith a paroxysm that entirely prostrated me for
two or three days, and sometimes longer. It grew upon me
in severity, until, in 1153 and 184, I was obliged for months
together, to sleep in my chair; and the least. active exercise
would bring on a paroxyean oftentimes so severe that I could
not move an inch for hours. lint it is useless for me to
describe the tortures of the spasmodic asthma: Those for
whom this is intended know fell well what it is, and I will
merely say, that from the time I took the first dose of ypur
if Remedy' to the present hour, I have not had a bad stteck,
and now my system is so free front it that the most active
exercise and exposure seldom has any other effect than to
slightly restrict the lungs. Your medicine soon dispelii that
rensation, and I can safely claim a general release from the
tOrtheditor.
With great respect, your obed't =rant,
