scale. He wishes to have certain distinguished di-
vines in this country exchange pupits for a season
with Chalmers, Hail, Irving, and other eminent men
in England, and says that the regularity and speed of
our packets across the Atlantic will admirably
modate such EXCHANGES. We should suppose there
would be a serious difficulty in the way-ciergymen
in our country are not usually able to pay the expen
ces consequent upon such proceedings.
A writer in the Christian Watchmen says that
single church, not SO miles from Boston, has given
Twelve Hundred Dollars to the various objects of
Christian Benevolence, within 9month; and that this
church is yet in its infancy. large sum! says cold
hearted parsmony "a wanon waste of treasure says
pleasure-loving indeIity;-a LIBERAL though compar-
atively small sum! says Christian philanthropy
Large as the amount is it is less than most societies
worse than waste for arent sprts-less than is often
spent in single evening at those haunts of iniquy

1t is said of the celebrated Boyle, that he never
pronounced the of the Deity without making
solemn pause, great the reverence which he
felt for the character aad presence of his Eternal
Maker.-So great was the awe which this holy name
excited among the Jews, that they would suffer

awful respect which was felt them among the untaught
multitude. But in enlightened Christian countries,
where temples for the worship of Jehovah neither
few nor far between, where every town and hamlet
has its hundreds and thousands of pro essed worship

of every man, there immense muItitudes of 9TH
erwise decent people, who use the name Of God in
the most nnmeaning and trifng MANNER as though to
do thus were both siness and SAFE. Decency to an
equal forbds that his name should be used as by-
word upon every trding occasion; but an angels
tongue cannot describe the awful responsibility which
those encounter who violate that command which
says, Thou shalt NOT take the name of the Lord thy
God in vain :" &c.
We have ourself heard the profane swearer volun-
tarily make an acknowledgment to a fellow man, for
having impiously used the name of the Deity in his
presence; and usually the lips of the bIasphemer are
sealed in the company of clergyman! while the ON
nscence and Omnipotence Of Jehovah is neither re-
membered nor feared
IT, The Boston Statesman says it is computed that
there is annually imported into this country, from
Great Britain, Shoebackng the value off, OOO 900
dollars large proportion Of which is made by DaySE
Martin, OF London. This must either be a random
calculation. or typographical Such sum,
at the lowest calculation, would purchase 100000
gallons Of the liquid, about fifteen thousand hogs

used in the country; and certainly nine-tenths Of

melancholy forebodings for the future. We hope,
however, and trust, that the accounts have thus
