4" And 10 thou art unto them as a very lovely
song of one who hath pleasant voice, and car
play well on an instrument, for they hear thy
words, but they do them not.-Ezek. xxxii. 80
The faithful application of this text
would put TO flight host of other delu-
sioos. 1t may be carried round amongst
all those phenomena of human character,
where there is the exhibition of some
thing associated with religion, but which
is not religion itself. An exquisite relish
for music is no test of the influence Of
Christianity. Neither are many other oil
the exquisite sensibilities of our nature.
When kind mother closes the eyes oil
her expiring babe she is thrown into a
flood of sensibility, and soothing to her
heart are the sympathy aud the prayers
of an attending minister. When gath
ering neighbourhood assemble to the flu
neral of an acquaintance, one pervadiDg
sense of regret aud tenderness sits on the
faces of the company !; and the deep Sc
leuce broken only by the solemn utterauce
of the man of God, carries kind of
pleasing Righteousness along with it. The
sacredness of the hallowed day, and the
decencies of its observation, may engage
the affections of him who loves to walk in
the footsteps Of his father; and every re-
curing Sabbath may bring TO his bosom
the charm of its regularity and its quiet
ness. Religion has its accompaniment !;
and in these there may be something TO
soothe, and to fascinate, even ia the abb
sence of the appropriate influence of re-
iigion. The deep and tender impression
of family bereavement, is not religion.
The love of established decencies, is
not religion. The charm Of all that
sentimentalism which is associated with
many Of its solemn and affecting SER
vices, is not religion. They may form
the distinct folds of its accustomed dra-
perry but they do NOT, any, or all Of
them put together, make up the substance
Of the thing itself, A mothers tenderness
may flow most gracefully over the tomb Of
her departed little one ard she may talk
the while Of that heaven whittier its spirit
has assembled.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Wednesday, Dec. 9.

c""co"u1, DcC. %
The house having proceeded to the
consideration Of the resolution yesterday
moved by Mr.. Holmes, as amended on
motion OF Mr.. Cobb, in the following
words:
ReSolued, That the committee on mill
tary affairs be discharged from the further
consideration Of SO much of the Presidents
message as relates to the trial Of Arbuthnot
and Ambrister, and the conduct of the
war with the Seminole Indians; and thai,
the same be referred to the committee Of
foreign relations. with instructions to in.
quire whether, 10 said trials, the consti.
tuition and laws Of the United States, or
the law of nations, have been violated.
After considerable debate, the house
agreed TO an indefinite postponement Of the
resolution, by a large majority.
The House resumed the consideration
Of the bill allowing halfpay pensions Of
five years to the widows and orphans oil
those soldiers enlisted for IL months, for
l8 months, and of the militia, who died
within four months after their return
home, Of sickness contracted while in ser

made by reasonable man, had any thing
like this system been known at that time
IN England?
But to proceed with historical facts.
In the month of April, 1898, the trustees
OF the charity school at ALLOCATE, intro
duced DR.. Bells system, which was
found to be extensively useful. DIR.
Briggs, then of Kendall, introduced the
system about the same time into the Ken
dal schools of industry.
In 1903, Mr.. Joseph Lancaster first
Introduced himself to the public in a
pamphlet, under the title of " Improve
ments 10 education" &c. 10 this he says
that his school was begun 10 1898. "Dur-
ing several years." he says, " had es-
sayed to introduce better system into
the school, and every attempt had failed. "
This expression is worthy ofremark. He
commenced 10 '98, and it is most proba-
BILE that be did not delay his publication
long after he made the Improvement.
Let us now see what Mr.. Lancaster's
claims to originality are according to his
own words. In third edition OF his
pamphlet, he says that when he opened
his school in '98, he IS knew of no modes
of tuition, but those usually in practice"
Tn one of bis pamphlets Of 1903, MIR.
Lancaster acknowledges his obligation TO
DIR. Bell, and among other things, re-
marks, g. have been endeavouring to
walk in his footsteps, in the method about
TO be detailed" In 1904 it is stated, and
/ believe it has never been denied, that
Mr. Lancaster had some personal inter.
views with DIR. Bell, at his residence 10
Dorsetshire, and subsequently some epis-
tolary intercourse.
What now shall be said, if il be made
to appear, that after these and many other
Acknowledgements of his great obligations
10 DIR. Bell; after his declarations that he
was endeavouring to organize school on
his plan, to tread in his footsteps" this
same Mr.. Lancaster puts 10 his claim to
the merit of the discovery This it ap-
pears he did, in the following advertise
meat which was printed in the newspa-
pers. "Joseph Lancaster of the Free
school borough road, London, having
invented under the blessing of Divine
Providence, a new and mechanical system
of education for the use of schools, feels
anxious to disseminate the knowledge Of
its advantages, through the United King
DOM" Is it, let me ask, the proof of a
good and great mind to employ the phrase
ology Of piety, TO conceal the effort 10 de-
prive an honest man Of bis good name,
and the honours due to him To letter
in the Morning Post, in Sept. 1917, Mr..
Lancaster talks of not suffering his
name TO be associated with that of DIR.
Bell" Again he says. The cry and the
shout of Great art thou, o Bell is TO go
through the land" This is about Cd a
level with his attempts at wit in some Of
bis visits in our state. When asked some
questions respecting DIR Bell which per-
picked him, his reply was, go yes, he
is the Bell, but am the Clapper."
The above facts will enable the public
to form some idea where merit lies, on
this subject. There are many interesting
particulars connected with the progress
Of DR.. Bells sy stem, which must be omit
ted for the present. VINDEX.
