iteraturt. POETRY. THE DAWN OF GENIUS. BY T. J. OUSELEY. No, not a sound The gentle atmosphere Breathes upon all things with a tender light, The blush 'twixt day and twilight—yet so clear That the arched heavens look depthless—as the sight Drowns itself in the I.zure infinite; Whilst, fretted silver, fleecy cloudless lie, In shapes fantastical, becalmed—and bright With gorgeous hues—the glorious western sky Gleams—like the jewelled portals of Eternity. There is a hill that seems to have arose In play—from out the valley at its base, From which the beauteous andscape in repose, In varied lights and shadows we mr.y trace, Until it melts into the Sun's embrace : From that sweet upland—on the lovely scene, Gazes a GlRL—in whose still—soul lit face Are thoughts ton deep for words—whose eye serene Beholds a visioned Paradise—Earth hath not seen. Upon her head some thirteen summers might Have wreathed their flowers blooming—not for aye, But never till this moment had her sight Enraptured pictured glories in the sky: Or had she held her breath—as if to die Were but to let the spirit wing it., way Without a pang. Divinest harmony Swelled through the space of heaven's eternal day, Her soul with rapture filled !—immortal in its clay. The first dream of a life—her mortal fire Quenched whilst she paused to imbibe the spark, Th' electric spark struck from the magic lyre, To whose enchanting strains the Angels hark ; Such sounds as first the stars sung when the Ark Stood on a cloudless world—when the black veil Of Heaven's dire wrath was lifted from the dark Concave of Earth—and the despairing wail Ofdying wretches ceased—for shouts of joy to hail. At length she sees afar things boantiful, To which no name is given —to which no thought Can give comparison : so wonderful, Yet not to her a wonder.—the charm brought Quiet and beauty richly interwrought : Her brain seemed bathed with essence of rare things Drawn from most precious spices ; and she sought To pierce beyond the everlasting springs That flood the Heavens with light—where Seraphs poise their wings. And there are golden palaces afloat, Amidst vast seas of silver, whose small waves Trembled as every cloudlet. like a boat, Passed o'er their burnished furrows: and dark caves, In their far distance, show where saphire laves, Enmixt with amber, crystal, and rich pearl, Their p , nderous sides. The chequered floor, light paves, And banners streaming—rainbow streaks unfurl, -As the full blazing Sun his glory round cloth hurl. viz, And there are trees most beautiful, whose leaves Quiver like light from emeralds. She heard Sounds such alone as Inspiration weaves To veil the ear of Harmony • no bird That e'er spread wing such notes could give —no word From earth loved li,s could breathe such ecstacy— As though her every pulse enchanting stirred, And, reeling with delight, the melody Stole o'er her--and she felt an immortality. VIII. Her eyes expand as though her heart would drink, Through the bright portals of the soul, its full Of never dying glory—now they shrink, Fed to satiety—the wonderful Outshutting from the sight—the cold, the doll Things of this mortis' ,:,nere—her placid face Lies in a sweet rei,ose—a dreamless lull— Yet ever and anon the eye may trace That the mind's wings are s, read, and cover boundless space! And now she wakes !—but from this hour no thought But mixes with the picture of her trance : No more the girlish sport by her is sought— She joins not in the mirthful, fe-tive dance ; Is there—but yet not present : though perchance The converse and the smile, from lips ..nd eyes, Seem to be with the time. The great expanse Of beauty undefinable will arise, And her unearthly soul is wrapt in ecstacies ! This is the dawn of Genius—who can tell How exquisite the pangs of atter years, When the poor living clay confined must dwell, Mortal, within its life of smiles and tears, When it would fain flee to the happy spheres Where pain is not, and whe e eternal joy Thrills in eternal change of joy, and tears That wound the fragile spirit no more cloy, But freed, the soul upsoars to bliss without alloy. HINTS FOR PEDESTRIANS, PRACTICAL AND MEDICAL. (From an unpublished Manuscript, by a Physician of Liverpool.) By MEDICUS. (CONTINUED FROM OUR LAST.) " The effects of muscular activity must be to call up into action all other parts—the heart, the lungs, the brain and nervous system, the stomach, and digestive system, and every organ of the body. It is in this way that muscular exercise serves to strengthen the entire ceconomy. Organic action is not only augmented in the parts immediately put in exercise, but every other receives by reflection a fresh impulse. Digestion is promoted, the absorption of the chyle and its further assimilation is facilitated, respiration is excited, the circulation is quickened, the heart itself being strength ened by the same means that invigorate every other organ ; for although the circulation through the tissue of the heart is distinct from that of the system in gene ral, it is so arranged as to take place simultaneously with the latter. * " Lastly, the great function of nutrition, which builds up every structure of the frame, is carried on with such alacrity that every part acquires an increase of size and strength. The heaving of the chest, and alternate contraction and relaxation of the muscles of the belly too, which assist in the act of re- spiration, promotes the peristaltic motions of the intes tinal canal, and in this natural way supersedes the use of that host of pills and potions with which the seden tary and inactive are constantly drugging themselves. It is altogether an error to suppose that the right con duct of health demands the oft-repeated administration of purgatives. Where the rules of Hygiene are attended to, the need of such medicines is at once obviated ; but where these rules are slighted and disregarded, the ali mentary canal may be oppressed and overloaded in dif ferent parts, so as to give rise to an apparent necessity for artificial means for its relief. Yet the use of such means only tends to increase the inconvenience against which they are administered; since the excessive stimu lation of the medicine cannot last, it is sure to be suc ceeded by augmented torpor and inaction. In a similar way, regular muscular exercise serves to prevent head ache, and those numerous affections of the brain, which perhaps constitute the most grievous afflictions of hu manity. A ready interchange of blood in the brain gives a healthy impulse to the agreeable exercise of its functions ; whilst a languid or stagnant state of the circulation in the head occasions all kinds of nervous symptoms, a tendency to disorganization in the brain itself, frequently resulting in apoplexy, palsy, and other serious maladies. The torpid state of the digestive canal has been considered highly instrumental- in the produc tion of such effects ; and in the human body, where all parts and functions are connected by such a linked chain of harmony, it is frequently difficult to fix on the pre cise point where derangement takes its first stride ; but begin where it may, exercise, gradually commenced and uninterruptedly continued, is the chief remedial measure against these serious evils. The distressing sufferings of hypochondriacal, nervous, and sensitive people, who are generally of the upper classes, whose circumstances impose no need for bodily labours, arise from the accu mulation of nervous power in the system, for the want of a sufficient vent or drain to keep down the supply of nervous force more nearly to a level with its expendi ture. Such persons bid adieu to all their morbid feelings and impressions the moment their minds are engrossed with a sufficiently animating subject, that shall call forth an adequate exertion of their limbs. Their exci tability is thus dissipated, and they enjoy ease and comfort in vigorous exercise. Again, the chest, the chief seat of that master malady, consumption, is sti mulated to a healthy discharge of its functions by mus cular exercise. The blood is not allowed to distend the yielding tissue of the lungs, and remain almost stagnant in their swollen vessels ; a state, where it exists, ex ceedingly prone to occasion chronic inflammation, and, being conjoined with torpor and feebleness of action in the digestive and nervous systems, very much disposed to run into that kind of vegetative degeneration which results in the production of tubercles, or true tubercular consumption of the lungs. In fine, the effects of mus cular action are to feed the lamp of vitality with a full supply of fuel, and to make the flame burn brighter and higher, whilst those of muscular inaction are to turn the living frame into a lump of senseless clay, more truly so as it gives rise to diseases which are usually fatal in their termination. The real degenerative consequences arising from muscular inaction cannot be more clearly illustrated than by the condition in which the muscles are found in club-foot and similar malformations, or diseases, which deprive them of action. They are con verted into whitish, fatty masses, possessed of no one property of muscular fibres, without it be their external striated form. Having been long interdicted from all use, that law of organised matter previously explained comes into operation, and their red, fibrinous, and fleshy particles are removed, to he replaced by cellular tissue and fat. The process of this fearful change, which re sults in the destruction of one o f the finest functions of animal fibre and the annihilation of all self-originating motion, proceeds through a regular gradation of stages before it arrives at its completion. Where a muscle is deprived of its office, as is the case with some of those executing the complicated movements of the spine, when the trunk is encased in tight stays and busks, its fibres become pale, and waste materially ; their power of con tractility is greatly diminished, and they scarcely ac knowledge the authority of the will in calling them into action ; indeed, when the process has proceeded so far, unless the attention be directed expressly to exciting natural or artificial motions in the part, and a powerful volition be exerted for this purpose, the final result of fatty degeneration anu destruction of the muscular tis sue is inevitable. And"—Mr. Davis proceeds, with a paragraph which, though not so immediately relating to pedestrianism as such chiefly practised by men in country rambling, yet from its correlative importance and value to the fair sex, we shall quote on—" and, how ever unpleasant it may be to the fair who may honour our little treatise with perusal, truth demands from us to declare, that one of the most frequent seats of mus cular degeneration is in the gutters at the sides of the spinal column, where the thick masses of muscles in tended for the complex motions executed by this most wonderful mechanism of the human frame,* being com pressed and deprived of all action by artificial contri vances,—their occupation being gone,—are found to be converted into a lardaceous matter."—Manual of the Art of Preserving Health. By J. B. Davis, Surgeon. Whittaker, London. 1836. Pp. 367-70. " Walking, the most general, is the most beneficial of these" (corporeal) " exercises. It calls forth the alternate action of the extensor and flexor muscles of the lower limbs, as well as the contraction of those of the loins and of the shoulders. It solicits but little effort from the muscles of the chest and arms, the latter being chiefly used to balance the body in its progression, the arms moving in opposite directions to the legs of the corresponding sides. * * It makes few demands on the cerebral organs, further than that exertion of voli tion requisite to keep up the muscular action of the lower extremities. On a level surface it is not a fatiguing exercise, and only moderately excites the circulatory and respiratory organs. When pursued on an ascending plane it becomes laborious, and solicits a proportionate activity in breathing and in the circulation. Walking' is an exercise suited to almost every age and constitu tion ; even the invalid and convalescent partake of it with advantage ; and there are few individuals can neglect it except to their prejudice. The famous Mr. Wm. Hutton, of Birmingham, presents the most re markable instance of the love and practice of walking, kept up to extreme old age. To prepare himself for writing his Description of the Roman Wall, he under took a journey of no less than six hundred miles on foot, at the age of seventy-eight. And such was his enthu siastic attachment to walking, that even to within a very few days of his death, which took place at the age of ninety-two, he every day begged to be partly led and partly pushed over his accustomed number of rounds about the grass-plot in his garden. The celebrated Baron Larrey, surgeon-in-chief to Napoleon's grand army with which he invaded Russia, attributed his preservation, during the almost universal destruction that befel the host he accompanied, chiefly by reason of the severity of a northern winter, in a great measure to the plan he adopted of traversing the whole distance on foot. Those who are prone to indulge in brooding fan cies and melancholy thoughts should be careful how they partake in the exercise ; for, unless cheerful society be conjoined with it, their gloomy propensities may be se riously aggravated. Indeed this is the surest way of deriving the largest measure of salutary influences from walking, by communicating a gentle and agreeable im pulsion to the mind. The search for beautiful scenery and other natural objects, or even for works of art, tends to a similar end ; and the collection of specimens of na tural history, in some one or more of the fertile king doms of nature, is another almost inexhaustible means of imparting an interest to walking."—Davis's Manual, pp. 391-2. " It may be enough to say, that without suitable ex ercise, daily and regularly pursued, it is impossible to enjoy health, or to possess strength, or any moderate measure of usefulness : that exercise must never be dis proportioned to previous habits, and must never be pur sued beyond moderate limits, otherwise it becomes pre judicial instead of salutary : and that in the degree in which any exercise can be made cheering, agreeable, and pleasurable, is almost the precise measure of its utility as a means of Hygiene. For as it can be proved,. by the stable facts of statistics, that happiness is one of the most essential elements of longevity, in the language of Shakspeare, ' Frame your mind to mirth and merriment, Which bars a thousand harms, and lengthens:life ;1 so it is demonstrable that every action is salutary and health-promotive almost exactly in proportion as it ad ministers to the enjoyment of the agent—a truth of vast importance, but far too much Lost sight of."—lbid. Touching Drinks, the following description of the properties, &c., of buttermilk may prove acceptable and useful:— " Properties of Buttermilk.—Buttermilk is generally prepared by churning sour cream ; but is also procured from milk that has become acid. When procured from - • - the first, it is more rich, nutritious, and agreeable, than when made from the second. The acid which it con tains is the lactic or acid of milk. Buttermilk is a very good alimentary liquid for a healthy person, although not so nutritious as sweetmilk ; and is much used by the peasantry of Scotland and Ireland. On account of its acid properties, it is not well adapted for those who have delicate digestive organs ; as it is liable to occa sion flatulency, acescency, and sometimes diarrhoea. As a drink or diluent, for which purpose it is very fre— quently employed, the most healthy and robust only should use it; and even for them, if not previously done by the maker, it may advantageously be diluted with water. It has been recommended in fevers and other febrile diseases, on account of its cooling properties ; but it is not well adapted for their treatment, as it often deranges, to a greater or less extent, the functions of the stomach and bowels. It may, however, be used as a safe and pleasant drink under ordinary circumstances, if modified by a mixture with an equal portion of boiling water. The boiling water coagulates the caseum or curd, which falls to the bottom, while the diluted whey swims above and may be decanted. A little oatmeal, beat up with the milk before the addition of the water, improves the flavour of this diluent." We have no experience to afledge touching Beamit.h and Crawford's new malt liquor, on Professor Liebigrs method of brewing. It certainly would be the very thing to " march" upon, if drowsiness, &c., are so conveniently put in the background as they state. Sherbet.—This beverage, so celebrated in Oriental song, is a decoction of, or preparation from, barley-meal and sugar, perfumed with extract of roses, orange flower, violets, or citron. Sprains.—lf such should chance the reader at any time, the best treatment is, if practicable, to immerse or bathe the part in water as hot as can be possibly borne; then to change to cold water and spirit or vine gar, as a lotion, applied with cloths, and so often re newed as to keep the part cold ; along with absolute rest as an indispensable means of the quickest recovery. Gnat-bites, Stings of Wasp, Bee, or Ant, or Nettle, or any other Envenomed Wound.—The pain may be soonest relieved by applying a drop of oil or hartshorn, or using Prussian blue. If any sting remain in, the readiest way to remove it is either to press around the wound with the barrel of a watch-key, so as to squeeze it out, or by rubbing constantly one way, as with the cuff of the coat sleeve. Priest says that " he never nal in his extensive prac tice with an insane naturalist."—Curiosities of Medical Experience. A small pocket compass would be always serviceable, and in barren tracts of land indispensable. A pair of French-grey spectacles, in which the focus of vision undergoes no change, will be found very grateful" for weak eyes, without prejudice to the sight, when the white roads dazzle in the sunshine, as in the limestone districts of Derbyshire and Wales. " Dear friends, youths and adults, and you in the declining vigour of manhood," writes a distant and ex perienced walker, " here is recommended to you the only real and true remedy which nature has placed [ within your reach—that is, to avail yourself of your ' locomotives of so masterly a construction, so well adapted by their complicated structure to move at your own ,will from place to place through the motion of your bodies in the open air, to make you your own preservers by warming and purifying your blood, and circulating it easily through your system, to give that vigour and freshness of thought which so much distinguished our 1 forefathers. Walking for short distances and in towns is better than constant confinement ; but what is such in comparison with a journey of hundreds of miles ! The novelty of objects in the country around, the splen did sports of prismatical light, and the mysterious dis tances of a landscape, the different effects of water reflection, the rich hues of the valleys and their re freshing green, with millions of different colours of the vegetable world :—all that works upon the sensible mind—whereby the heart vibrates with delight, and new life spreads over the languid system." Wa have omitted to mention that fifteen pounds is the Swiss regulation weight for the knapsack. The blessing of Sound Sleep. —lf, by attention to the foregoing " hints," a person is so far use with the nature and habit of prolonged application to letters, business, or dissipation, as to sleep badly ; though, unless quite worn out, he cannot be long putting in practice the rules and regulations of salutary exercise, until refresh ing repose has returned ; yet lest he should, through ignorance or folly, so far continue to counteract the return of so benign and propitious a diurnal visitor, let him take care that he secures all the requisite conditions as means for its promotion. " These are of great im portance to health, as the grand purposes of sleep are more fully effected, the sounder and more perfectly it is enjoyed. The greatest refreshment is derived from the most complete repose of the functions. For this purpose they should have been as generally exercised as possible, during the day, both those of body and mind ; this ex ercise, however, should not have proceeded so far as to produce a state of painful fatigue or exhaustion, as no thing is more sure to preclude refreshing sleep ; the state of the circulation in the head should not have been excited by deep study, intense thought, coffee, or other stimulant, for some time previous to rest • late and co pious suppers should be expressly avoided; the head should not be kept too warm by thick, or flannel, night caps ; the feet and lower extremities should have been brought to a comfortable temperature, if necessary by a rtificial means, such as the warm foot-bath, or flesh brush ; lastly, and above all, the cares of the day should have been put off with the clothes—a thing which, like * See Dr. Paley'e Natarekneologr, THE LIVERPOOL STANDAIII) every other connexion with the subject of sleep, may be materially influenced by habit."—Davis. Diet and Regimen.—An extract from the life and diary of a celebrated Italian nobleman, will be of ser vice to the reflecting mind. Up to the' * age of forty he was possessed of an infirm and weakened constitution, " when, by obstinately persisting in an exact .course of temperance, he recovered a perfect state of health ; in somuch, that at fourscore he published hiq book, which has been translated into English under the title of Sure and certain Methods of attaining a long and healthy Life.' He lived to give a third or fourth edi tion of it, and, after having passed his hundredth year, died without pain or agony, like one who falls asleep." Speaking of the folly of excess at table, he says : " This error has so far seduced us, that it has prevailed upon us to renounce a frugal way of living, though taught us by nature, even from the beginning of the world, as being that which would lengthen our days ; and has cast us into those excesses, which naturally tend to shorten the number of them. We become old, before we have experienced the pleasure of being young; and the time which ought to be the summer of our lives, is frequently the beginning of their winter. We are sensible of the failure of our strength, and of our weak ness and declension, even before we come to perfection. Sobriety, on the other hand, maintains us in the natural state wherein we ought to be : our youth is lasting, and our manhood attended with a vigour that does not begin to decay for several years. A whole century must pass away, before wrinkles can be formed on the face, or gray hairs grow on the head. This is so true, that when men gave themselves not up to voluptuousness, they were more strong and lively at fourscore than we are at present at forty."—Lewis Cornaro, p. 5. " There is no question to be made, but that a regular life puts at distance the sad hour of death; since it is able to keep the humours in an exact temperature : whereas, on the contrary, gluttony and drunkenness disturbs, heats, and puts them into a ferment ; which is the origin of catarrhs, fevers, and almost all the acci dents which hurry us to our graves."—ldem, p. 119. " Since no man, therefore, can have a better physi cian than himself, nor a more sovereign antidote than a regimen, every one ought to follow my example; that is, to study his own constitution, and to regulate his life agreeable to the rule: of right reason."—ldem, p. 31. (TO BE CONTINUED.) DR. PUSEY'S CITATIONS. [We believe that any impression produced by the publi cation of Dr. Pusey's recent memorable sermon was not occasioned so much by any thing advanced by that learned divine himself, as by the " host of witnesses" whose names were brought forward as apparently supporting his erroneous opinions. We anticipate that this impression will be entirely removed by a candid perusal of the follow. ing article, which we extract from the Churchman's Monthly Review for the present month, a publication which we again take the opportunity of recommending in the strongest possible manner upon the attention of the Protestant public. Such a catalogue of perverted quotations was never to our knowledge given to the world. Turn such a compiler into the British Museum or the Bodleian Library, and give him liberty to cull four lines from Bishop A.'s sermons, and half a sentence from Dr. B.'s treatise, and what heresy is there that he will not be able to maintain " Such is the doctrine which Dr. Pusey says he has learnt of ' our great divines,' and he then cites Ridley, Hooker, Andrewes, Jackson, and a crowd of inferior names, in an appendix of authorities. The question, then, is, has he fairly cited them ? And that he has not done so, we shall show, by remarking, in three or four instances, his very singular and unfortunate omissions. Bishop Ridley, who died at the stake rather than con cede to the doctrine of transubstantiation, is the first wit ness cited by Dr. Pusey. And we cannot but regard it as a most disengenuous act, to refuse, as Dr. Pusey did, —to aid in raising the Martyrs' Memorial,—to refuse also to subscribe to the Parker Society, from an avowed con viction, that Ridley and Latimer died in serious error; and yet to cite Ridley himself as teaching a doctrine which Dr. Pusey well knows he held in detestation. The passages cited in Dr. P.'s appendix, are taken from pages 201 and 202 of the Parker Society's edition of Rid ley. Now on the very leaf immediately preceding, in that same volume, stands this passage, of which Dr. Pusey therefore, cannot plead ignorance, but which could not conveniently be cited. " This carnal presence is contrary to the word of God, as ap peareth thus :—' I tell you the truth. It Is profitable to you that I go a' ay ; for if I go not away, the Comforter shall not come unto you.' Whom the heavens must receive until the time of restoring of all things which God hath spoken." The children of the bridegroom cannot mourn so long as the bridegroom is with them : but now is the time of mourning.' But I will see you again, and your hearts shall rejoice.' I will come again and take you to myself.' If they shall say unto you, Behold here is Christ, or there is Christ, believe them not : for where soever the dead carcase is, thither the eagles will resort.' •• It varieth trom the articles of the faith : ' He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father, from whence (and not from any other place, saith St. Augnistine), he shall come to judge both the quick and the dead.' " It destroyeth and taketh away the institution of the Lord's supper, which was commanded only to be used and continued until the Lord himself should crme. If, therefore, he be now really present in the body of his flesh, then must the supper cease: for the remembrance is not of a thing present, but of a thing past and absent. And there is a difference between re membrance and presence. and, as one of the fathers saith, •A figure is in vain where the thing figured is present.' "It maketh precious things common to profane and ungodly Persons, and constraineth men to confess many absurdities, For it aflirmeth, that whoremongers and murderers, yea, and (as some of them hold opinion) the wicked and faithless, mice, rats, and dogs also, may receive the very real and corporal body of the Lord, wherein the fulnessof the Spirit of light and grace dwelletfr: contrary to the manifest words of Christ in six places and sentences of John vi."—(Ridley'i Works, pp. 199. 199.) such is the first witness cited by Dr. Pusey, and such is the candour displayed in citing him ! Bat' (Tooker is even yet more unfairly represented. We crave the reader's attention to this instance of the mode in which an Oxford Catena is often• made up. Dr. Tusey quotes from the Ecclesiastical Polity (to give his own references) " Book v. chap. hail. §4, 5." He then quotes" Book v. chap. ',Evil. § 7,8:" To a cautious reader this- singular passing over § 6, would naturally cause solve . suspicion. But what is this' § 6? We will give it to our readers entire. " [6.] Thr real presence of Christ's most blessed body and Mood is NOT therefore to be sought for in the'savrament, but in the worthy receiber of the• sacrament. " And with this the very order of our Savionlos - words agreeth. First ' take and eat';' then •this is my body which was broken for you :' first drink ye all of this ;' then folloventh ' this is my blood of the New Testament which is shed for many for the re mission of sins.' Fsee not which way it would be galhered by the words of Christ: when and where the bread IS His• body or the cup His blood, but only in the very heart and soul of him which receiveth them; As - for the sacraments, they really ex hibit, but for aught we cati rather out of that which is written of them, they are norredgynor do really contain in themselves, that grace which witlithenror by them it pleaseth , God to be stow. " If on all sides it betOnfessed that the grace of baptism is poured into the soul of mei. that by water we receive it although A be neither seated in the water nor the water changed into it, what should induce men tb think that the grace of the Eucharist must needs be in the Eltharlst before it can be in rerthatre ceive "The fruit of the EucharistlS - the participation of the body and blood of Christ. Thert , is no sentence of Holy Scripture which saith that we cannorby this sacrament be made partakers or his body and blood except , they be first contained in the sa crament, or the sacrament converted into them. ' This iS my body,' and ' this is my blood;' being words of promise, sith we alt agree that by the sacrament Christ doth really and truly in its perform his promise, why do we vainly trouble ourselves with so fierce contentions whetherby consubstantiation, or else by transubstantiation the sacramentltself be first possessed With Christ, or no? A thing which can no way either further or hinder us howsoever it stand, because our participation of Christ in this sacrament dependeth onrthe co operation of his omnipo tent power which maketh it his bodrand blood to us, whether vrith:change or without alteration of the element such as they imagine we• need not greatly td 'care nor inquire.—(Works, (Oxon. 15410 vol. ii. p. 352, 353.) Seth is- the passage which D?. Phsey and his assisting friend have chosen to leave out from &efween two pas. .sa n g d es . .. %s h . h o i l e t h u t f he y y . La z ve ,_ cit e d. at, d p p Th_ 35 ey 44 h 35.5. ave , pr b in u t t e t d h , the t p l 3 Z i r part of p. 352, and all p. 353 they pass over. The reason for the-omission is obvious. This '6, at orme sets Hooker . in direct opposition to Dr. Pusey!s scheme. Words can. not more distinctly condemn the whole of Dr. Pusey's system, than do those of Hooker ;"'f see not which way it should be gathered by the words of Christ, when and where the bread is his body or the cup his blood, but only in the verv , heart and soul of him which receiveth them. " But what shall we say to the honesty which can thus ad— duce select passages from Ridley, and Hooker, and others, to cause it to , be believed that Dr. Pusey had been con demned for preaching merely what 'Ridley and Hooker preached, Mien• they knew well, all the time, that if they .: had but fairly cited these writers, it 'would have been seen that they opposed, not supported, thesemi-Romish theory • which Dr. Pusey espouses. The third- witness 'cited, of any note, is Bishop An drewes. And he is similarly misused. From Sermon xv. on the resurrection, a passage is taken, which is broken off, like that from Hooker, rather too soon. Here is the rest of it, conveniently omitted in Dr. Pusey's Appendix " Do butssk the Church of Rome : even with them it is not the bodily touch in the sacrament that doth the good. Wicked; men, very:reprobates, have that touch, and remain reprobates as before. Nay, I will go farther; it is not that toucheth, Christ at all. EXample, " the multitude that thronged and thrust Hial,'''yet for all that, as if none-of them all had touched. Him, He asks, Quis Me titigitt So that one may rudely thrust Him, and not touch Him though, not to any pnrpose so. " Christ resolves the point in that very: place. The flesh, the touching, the eating it, profits nothing. "The words he spake were spirit ;"so the touching, the eating, to be spiritual. And. St. Thomas and Mary Magdalene, or whosoever touched Him here on earth; nisi firlicius fide quam nitcnu tetigissent 'if they , had not been more happy to touch Him with their faith than with their fingers' end,' they had had no part in Him; no good by it all. It was found better with it to " - touch the hem of His garment," than without it to touch any part of His body. " Now, if faith be to touch, that wilt touch Him no leSsin Heaven than here; one that is in heaven may be touched so. No ascending can hinder that touch. Faith will elevate itself, that ascending in spirit we shall touch Him, and take hold of Him. Matt fidena et tenuisti—itis St. Augustine. It is a touch to which there is never a noli, fear it not. " So do we then ; send up our faith, and that shall touch Him, and there will virtue come from, him; and it shall take such hold on Him, as it shall raise us up to where He is ; bring us to the end of the verse, and to the end of all our desires;. to Ascendo aft•Patrezn, a joyful ascension to our Father and His, and to himself, and to the unity of the li3lessed Spirit. To whom, in the Trinity of Persons, &c." The next is Dr. Donne ; who is handled after a like fashion. A- piece is taken from his fourth Sermon-on the Nativity, in which Dr. Doune appears to use exceedingly " high language" in speaking of the sacrament. Butalmost immediately before the few sentences which Drr Pusey extracts, there appear these words :-- - - - - " That bread which thou seest after the consecration is not the same bread which it was before;; not that•it is traAsubstan tiated into another substance, for it: is bread still,"—" but that it is severed and appropriated by God in that ordinance to another. use. It is other bread ; sa . as a judge is aaatizer man upon the bench, than he is at home in his own house."- And the very next words which follow Dr. Pusey's ci :ation are these : "You would have said, at noon, this light is tha Sun, and you will say now, this light is the candle ; that ligh; - : was not the san this light is not the candle; but it is that portion of the air which the sun did then, and the candle cloth now, enlighten. We say the sacramental bread is the body of Christ, because God hath shed his ordinance upon it, and made is of another na ture in the use, though not the substance. (Sarm. iv. p. 75.) NOTICES. The Christian Remembrancer for September. Burns, London. Heavy and bombastical as this periodical usually is, several of the articles in the present number are simply ridiculous. The opening paper is entitled " Present state of Theology in the English Church," and here we have sunday schools condemned, and pronounced " the hot beds of heresy." We are told that " few of the clergy know how to employ aright the precious moments that are passed beside the bed of sickness"—and that, with the exception of " plain sermons by the contribu tors to the Tracts for theTirnes," "Mr. Ward's, Mr. Newmars's, Archdeacon Manning's, and Mr. Maurice's seru3ons f " the reviewer " knows not where to look for writers who have the appearance of having mastered both themselves and their subject.' Well may this writer " fear that he has very imperfectly succeeded in making himself understood," for whilst he casts such disgraceful calumnies as these with such apparent sangfroid on per sons whom he would do well to imitate, he deprecates as extremely uncbrietian and uncharitable,' the slightest ex posure of the semi-popery of tractarianism, as an attack on " some brother clergyman." In another article we have a notice of a pamphlet entitled " Mesmerism, the Gift of God," in reply to the " Satanic Agency and Mesmerism" of Mr. M'Neile. Here the writer candidly acknowledges that he has never seen the latter publica tion, and that he knows nothing of Mesmerism, and yet with the most consummate impertinence he pronounces that Mr. M`Neile's opponent has the best of the argu ment. There are, however, a few pearls scattered here and there, on subjects which are not theologicat The History of our Blessed Lord. Burns, London. This little work is a poem in easy verse, and illustrated with coloured plates, for young children. The versifica , tie% is simple, and may be readily committed to memory, whilst the plates are attractive for children, and calcu lated. to impress the subjects. of them on their young minds. Church. of England Magazine for September. Burns; London This- publication has lately improved amazingly. it la , sound and instructive, and deserves its high and distin— guishing title. To the sermons generally we apprehend , no exception can be taken, whilst " the sketches from Natural History," " The Islands, bakes, and Rivers of Great Britain and Ireland," accompanied with engravings, convey a great mass of important information. There is also interspersed-in each number a considerable quantity of miscellaneous matter. SELECTIONS FAMINES 1. ,, ,1411430..—The Rev. Robert Everest, in a paper published in the Slatietical Journal, has adduced some facts to show that the unfavourable seasons in India recur periodically,—a discovery which, if established, will afford an opportunity of providing against one- of the most afflicting evils in that country. In examining the lists of prices of grain at Chinsurah, in Bengali he found that the principal minima, or periods of scarcity, were in the years 1752, 1770, 1:188, 1807, 1826, sbewing an average interval of 18/ years, so nearly the same, as that of the lunar cycle, as to lead to the idea that the atmospheric changes were dependent upon it. But to be certain that these equidistant recurrences were not merely fortuitous, resulting from localtoircumstances, he procured lists from most of the principalcities to the west andaaorth-west of Calcutta, for a distance of 1,000 miles. The results ob tained were—great irregularity in any one list, but the more numerous the lists were, the greater. was the ap proximation to a regular ascending and d'scending series, with recurrences at about eight or ten years' distance, leading to the belief that, if we could obtain a correct measure of the average atmospheric changes-over a con siderable surface, we should observe something like regu lar intervals in the seasons.—Asiatic Journal. WIT OF LAFAYET'FB. - Last week La Payette had a , quarrel with a battalion of the National Guard on the subject of drill ; they considering the manual exercise as an infringement of the rights of man. The general being of the contrary opinion. a deputation of corporals, for any thing higher would have looked too aristocratic, waited on him at the quarters of his staff in the Place Vendome, to demand—his immediate resignation. On further enquiry, he ascertained that all the battalions, amounting to thirty thousand men, were precisely of the same sentiments. Next morning happened to have been appointed for a general review of the National Guard. La Fayette appeared on the ground as commandant at the head of his staff, and after a gallop along the line, sud denly alighted from his horse, and taking a. musket on his shoulder, to the utter astonishment of every body walked direct into the centre of the line, and took post in the ranks. Of course all the field-officers flew up to learn the reason. " Gentlemen," said he, "I am tired of re ceiving orders as commander-in-chief, and that I may give them, I have become a private, as you see." The announcement was received with a shout of merriment; and, as in France a pleasantry would privilege a man to set fire to a church, the general was cheered on all sides, was remounted, and the citizen army, suspending the " rights of man" for the day, proceeded to march and manoeuvre according to the drill framed by despots and kings."—Marston, or Memoirs of a- Statesman, in Blackwood's Magazine. THE PB.INCE O 1 WALES AT BRIGHTON —But simple as was the exterior of the cottage, all within was costli ness, so far as it can be united with elegance. Later days somewhat impaired the taste of this accomplished man, and he sought in splendour what was only to be found in grace. But here, every decoration, from the ceiling to the floor, exhibited the simplicity of refinement. A few busts of his public friends, a few statues of the patriots of antiquity, and a few pictures of the gnat political ge niuses of Europe—among which the broad forehead and powerful eye of Machiavel were conspicuous—showed at a glance that we were under the roof of a political per sonage. Even the figures in chased silver on the table were characteristic of this taste. A Timoleon, a Brutus. and a Themistocles, incomparably classic, stood on the plateau; and a rapier which had belonged to Doria, and a sabre which had been worn by Castruccio, hung on either side of the mantelpiece.lllThe whole had a republican ten dency, but it was republicanism in gold and silver— mother-of-pearl republicanism—the Whig principle em balmed in Cellini chalices and porcelain of Frederic le Grand. Fortunately the conversation did not turn upon home politics. It wandered lightly through all the plea santer topics of the day ; slight ventilations of public cha racter, dexterous allusions to anecdotes which none but the initiated could understand ; and the general easy in tereourse of well-bred men who met under the roof of another well-bred man to spend a few hours as agreeably as they could. The prince' took his full share in the gaiety of the evening - and I was surprised to find at once so remarkable a familiarity with the classics, whosesound was scarcely out of my college ears ; and with those habits of the humbler ranks, which could have so seldom come to his personal knowledge. To his exterior, nature had been singularly favourable. His figure, though full, still retained all the activity and grace of youth ; his features, though by no means regular, had a general look of manly beauty, and his smile was cordiality itself. I have often since heard him praised for supreme elegance ; but his manner was rather that of a man of great natural good humour, who yet felt his own place in society, and of that degree of intelligence which qualified him to enjoy the wit and talents of others, without suffering a 4** sense of infe riority. Among those at table were C** *l and H***, names well known in the circles of Devonshire House; Sir P***** F 44 -****, who struck me at first sight by his penetrating physiognomy, and who was even then sus pected of being the author of that most brilliant of all libels, Junius ; W******, then in the flower of life, and whose subtlety and whim might be seen in the fine fore head and volatile eyes ; some others, whose names I did not know, and among them one of low stature, but of sin gularly animated features. He was evidently a m ili tary man, and of the sister isle, a prime favourite with th e prince and every body ; and I think a secretary in the prince's household. He bad just returned from Faris ; and as French news was then the universal topio, he t oo k an ample share in the conversation.—Maraton, or lifrporil of a Statesman, in Siackwood's Maga;ine, Thus, Dr. Donne advocates. the use of. the expression, This is Christ's body, and then explains- that he uses the words in the same way as when he speaks of light as being the sun when it is not really and truly the sun. Dr. Pusey considers it honest to quote the " high language"! which answers his purpose, and to omit the exp lanatian Dr. Jackson is the next authority cited ; and he is. quoted with equal dishonesty. A passage is taken from his works, vol. iii. pp. 333', 334; but the Catena-compiler stops short in the middle. Here is. the close of the pas sage, which gives Dr. Pusey's interpretation of John vi. 56, a direct denial. " So then a man by eating Christ's body merely sacramentally may be hardened—may be excluded from his gracious presence. But no man hath Christ dwelling in him, by this manner of eating his flesh anddri nking his blood, unless withal he eat the one and drink the other spiritually. The eating, , then, of Christ's body, and drinking his blood merely sarramentally,js not the eating mad drinking here meant." (John vi. 560 We pass over a crowd of people like " Bishop Forbes," Sutton, White, Thorndike, &c. &c. who, if they yet lived, would stare to find themselves ranked among "our Great Divines of the English Church,"—and pass on to Bishop Beveridge. Here the Catena-maker advances in auda city,—venturing even to the mutilation of sentences, to suit his purpose. From the Bishop% tract On Frequent Communion, he gives this citation:— " When we hear the words of cowecration repeated as they came from our Lord's own mouth. ' This is My Bedy which:is given for you" and ' This is My Blood which was shed for you and for many for the remission of sins ;' we are then steadfastly to believe, that although the sikbstance of the Bread and Wire still remain, yet now it is not common bread and wine, as to its use; but the Body and Blood of Christ in that Bacrament4 sense wherein he spake the words." Aye, but Bishop Beveridge did not thus end the sen. tence. He thus continued --- insomuch, that whosoever duly receives these his creatures of bread and wine according to Christ's holy institu tion, in remembrance of his death and passion,, are rirtalter* of his most precious body and blood, as it is expressed in the prayer of consecration." Again, from the next page of the itime tract, the fol lowing passage is given by Dr. Pusey : - - _ " When it comes to our turn to receive it. then We are to lay aside all thoughts of bread and wine, and the minister and every thing else that is or can be seen, and fix our faith, as it is' the evidence of things not seen,' wholly and solely upon our blessed Saviour, as offering us His own Body and Blood to preserve our bodies and sou s to everlasting life, which we are therefore to receive by faith, as it is the substance of things hoped for,' steadrastly believing it to be, as our Saviour said, His Body and blood,' which our Church teacheth us are verily and indeed taken and received by the faithful in the Lord's Supper." But this was not the close of the Bishop's sentence. He went on to say,— " - by which means, whatsoever It is to others, it will be to us who receive it with such a faith, the body and blood of Christ our Saviour, the very substance of all things hoped for.' upon the account of his body that was broken, and his blood that was shed, for us." 1 Now these are not unimportant suppressions. Dr. Pusey's doctrine is, that " It (the body) is there, inde pendently of our faith." The teaching of Bishop Bever idge is, that only to faith is there any presence or recep tion of Christ's body at all. Yet the Bishop is cited as supporting Dr. Pusey's doctrine ! We shall give but one more instance, and it is that of an Archbishop. whose name, remembering the moderation of his views, we were not a little astonished to see in Dr. Pusey's Catena. We will give the citation entire:— "Archbishop Wake." "The bread which we break. is, not only in figure and simi litude, but by a real spiritual Communion, His Body. The Cup of Blessing which we bless is, by the same Communion, His Blood." 2 There was something very suspicious in the look of this citation, standing, as it does, without reference to any chapter or page, or even work, from whence it was taken. However, we took the trouble to seek for the passage, and we found it at p. 165 of the "Archbishop's Commen tary on the Catechism, sixth edition." But at page 163, of the same volume, we found these plain declarations " Q. Are the body and blood of Christ really distributed to every Communicant. in this Sacrament? "A, No, they are not ; for then every Communicant, whether prepared or not for it, would alike receive Christ's body and blood there: That which is given by the priest to the Comma. nicant is, as to its nature, the same after consecration that it was before, viz., bread and wine : only altered as to its use and signification. "a. If the body and blood of Christ be not really given and distributed by the priest, how can they' be verily and indeed taken and received by the faithful Commdritcaut ? " A. That which is given by the priest is, an to its substance, bread and wine as to its sacramental nature and signification, it is the figure, or representation, of Christ's , body and blood. which was Lroken and shed for us. The yery body and blood of Christ, as yet it isnot. But being with faith and piety received by the Communicant, it becomes to him, by thetkrsning of God, and the grace of the Holy Spirit, the very body and blood of Christ." Here, then, again, we have Dr. Pusey's fake doctrine eschewed and condemned in the plainest and most distinct manner. That which he holds, the Archbishop flatly de nies : that which the Archbishop teaches, he condemns. 1 Bishop Beveridge's' Works, 1824, vol. i. p. 603, 6Cb44. 2 Dr. Pusey's Serfton : Appendix, p. 78. CORRESPONDENCE. THE BISHOP OF OSSORY'S CHARGE ANJI " THE TRACTS" (RESERVE). TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.- Syn:,—l forbear noticing the earlier parts of this admi'-- rable charge. not that they are deficient in interest or less' ably dealt with, but by reason of their being more in the ordinary routine of similar publications—and come at once to the subject of Reserve, being one of those on which the bishop feels it necessary " to correct or deter- mine the views of others, and even beyond what that par pose requires, to make known his own" (p. 5). But first we must bear in mind the - extreme reverence with which the disciples of the tract school affect to treat ,he opiniens-of m bishop. Mr. Newman, in his letter to :he Bishop of Oxford, 1841, repeats the - sentiment he had uttered three years before to the archdeacon—A bishop's lightest ward, ex cathedra', is heavy. His judgment on a book cannot be light. It is a rare occurrence." Dr. Pusey, also, in his letter to Dr. Jelf, of the same date, writes in the same strain. It is to be f*ared, however, that this professed respect for the sentence of a bishop is to be received with considerable limitation, and holds valid only when.his feelings are in unison with those of the party; else•what is to be said of Di Pasey's stric tures on the bishops, conveyed in the blandest terms ima ginable in his , letter (1842) to his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, "on the present crisis on the English church ;" or still more, of that vaunt (cited in the Churchman's Monthly Review, January, 1842) lately issued from the lips of a tractarian, that "'steps must shortly be taken-to hring the refractory bishops , to their senses." The learned prelate,. wheee charge is now- before me, after pressing apon his assembled clergy the obligation to a patient, prayerfnl and reverent study of the whole sa cred volume, that they may be enabled rightly. to divide and to declare the whole counsel and truth of God, is led to grapple with those tracts. especially in which an oppo site doctrine is taught and defended. Both tracts 80 and 87 are entitled " - o; Reserre , in Communicating•Rkligious Knowledge:" but' the bishop confines himself to the re serve recommendeclin , commnicating the great doctrine of the atonement. We have large quotations from the - . tracts in question, .in order (as he says—p'.43), "to fix beyond any reasonable doubt their true object as regards thin aootr;ne." Against No. 80 it had been timed, that it discountenanced-the priaelting of the atonement to, im- penitent sinners to briny them to repentance, and to pe nitent sinners to con fi rm them in holiness—hat , it con demned any preaching which makes this truth the foundation of offers .of mercy to sinners, the- source of Christian morals to holiness, which makes it the instru- meat of converting •and reforming, of drawing-:men to Christ, and after Clirist. After a lapse of nearly three years No. 87 appears, in which the writer gives what seems to be a disavowal of the object imputed to the pre ceding tract on the -same subject, but what really leaves the full weight of the charge upon him still ; for. he dis claims having even-recommended that " it (the doctrine of the atonement) should be intentionally and designedly withdrawn from all public mention" (Tract 5 , 7-=p. 52). He is not charged :with having condemned all- public mention of that doctrine, and' his disclaimer goes•not a whit further; while rnultipliettpassages from the tracts in question leave it beyond doubt that the charge, already given in substance, is well founded, and which after all is not inconsistent with the literal truth of his disclaimer. A " mass of sophistry and misrepresentation and con fusion," " arguments scattered without much regard to order," through " these very long, very rambling and very misty treatises," philosophy and natural instinct, Scripture and tradition, are all made to combine in en forcing the duty. of Reserve, for which the writer pleads. And if the writer's statements left his purpose in any re spect doubtful, the course of the reasoning by which they are sustained most make it. perfectly clear."' Such are the sentiments and suck the expressions of Dr, O'Brien with reference to these tracts- : and to every one acquainted with the mind and manner. of that amiable and eminent Christian and prelate, they, will convey a more than ordi nary weight of deliberate censure upon " that series of publications - shich (as he observes elsewhere) have ac quired such unhappy celebrity." Instead of entering into a detailed examination.of all the arguments in these tracts,.the bishop confines himself to a single division, choosing (as he says) the arguments which have been drawn from the example of the teaching of our blessed Lord in the course of his earthly ministry. " I select those arguments (adds his lordship) because, while they are in their own nature the most important, they seem to have been most relied on in the tract, and they certainly have contributed more to the impression which it has made than any other which it contains ; and, more over, they furnish a fair specimen of the general character of the reasoning employed in the divisions- which I am obliged to omit." (p. 4k) Before entering, however, on this examination, his lord ship finds it necessary, by way of safeguard against the insidious poison of these tracts, to forewarn his clergy of the eg;eivocal use of the principal term that obtains almost universally throughout them. Reserve is not merely used for hclding back certain truths, and keeping silence about them, but also for caution, and for discretion, and for reverence in treating them. And all that the author can find in support of the duty of reserve in any of the latter senses, is taken by him, apparently without any doubt, as of no less force to• prove it to be a duty, in a former sense ; and when pressed with arguments against his rule of re serve in one of the senses of the word, he is able to retreat into one of the other senses, in which he is safe from all disturbance." (p. 47). This letter has already so far erewded the limits I in tended for it e that 1 must reserve foe a further communie cation the bishop's exposure of "the wonderful careless ness of the tract writers in dealing with Holy Scripture," the arbitrary violence with which they treat it, making it. prove and disprove what they like, and seeing in it, what they want,, and nothing else," not merely misrepresenting and perverting Holy Scripture, but even attempting to maintain their point against its. positive and expresseestie 'irony." (p.p. 224-5). I cannot conclude better than by extracting the note (p. 24) in the last charge of our own revered Bishop of Chester " The divinity of the Oxford tracts has. been, as completely refuted in all its parts as any erroneous opinions can ever be refuted ; and. it is a sign of the discretion, if not of the candour of the writers, to treat these answers generally as if they had, never been written. If this con tinue to be the case after the recent publication of Mr. Goode's elaborate "Rule of Faith and Practice," it must be considered as a tacit acknowledgment of completerefu tation." It has continued to be the case, (since the puny drivel ling in this instance of the British exilic, having neither grappled with a single fact, nor disproved a single argu ment, cannot be considered as an answer)—it still con tinues, and is likely so to remain, for reasons best known to those discreet gentlemen themselves, notwithstanding the publication of the charge now under our conside ration. Mr. Williams, the defeated candidate for the Professorship of Poetry, the author of the tracts in ques tion, is more likely to imitate the flippant assumption of his leader, Mr. Newman,. (coolly gettieg rid of Dr. O'Brien's masterly work on " Justification by Faith only"• as undeserving of notice,. because only setting forth, hy Mr. N.'s account, the old Lutheran view of the sutoject,) than fairly to canvass the statements put forward b, the learned prelate, and candidly to admit the eenvincieig power of the truth they contain.
