PROTESTANTISM.—Let nothing content you short of sound
Protestant Christianity—no enervated, attenuated, sickly,
half-gasping system of theology—but vigorous, bold, Bible
Christianity—the Christianity of a Luther, of a Melancthon,
of a Knox, of martyrs, of apostles, of CriatsT—the Christi-
anity that came down from Heaven and will take you to it.—

GREATER DURABILITY OF IRON THAN WOOD IN SHIPS.
—By reference to a paper, written by Mr. Creuze, we find it
stated that fifteen years is cosidered to be the average dura-
tion of ships of war, Mr. Chatfield, indeed, makes it only
thirteen years, while in actual service ; and although many
ships of a much greater age are now in existence, these are
sometimes virtually new ships,—since, after a few heavy re-
pairs, very little of the old timber remains, and the same
parts of a ship are frequently two or three times renewed.
There are, however, some ships of a great age having much
of their original timber left; but these are only exceptions,
and may be set off against a much greater number of pine-
built ships which have only lasted five or six years. Numer-
ous instances may be adduced of the loss sustained by the
nation from the ravages of the dry rot, without taking into
account the extra number of vessels required to fill the places
of those under repair. I may instance on case out of many.
y,
usa,
A splendid 120-gun ship, which cost the country 4:120,000,
required twice to undergo the most extensive repairs, with-
outrth having been once in service. There is now at the guar-

ponding strength, would doubtless last for fifty years, or
longer, with veryrepairs,
periods
and, the durability of an iron vessel being once
would be a fair standard for' all others of the
ascertained,
