their property, except house and field, IS

10 him: all the income Of a woman's real
estate. all that accrues to her before or ai-
ter marriage. is his; not merely posses

TO IT, the term our; she must ask leave
and means, however wealthy she may hare
been. to bestow an aims, or gift BY
law, the afluence Of the richest married
heiress dwindles into a mere claim for ne

to the law, should begin with a lesson OF
philosophy.

don by the Gentles, and the Jews dis
ptsed before our eyes, are a standing
macle-when the desoations of Nlneveh

an witnesses OF the prophetic inspiration
when the sketch Of the division of en-
pies in the wonderful predictions of Noah,

rs eng filed up in every age-when the
grat apostacy Of the western church
str5es the heart with dismay in one view,
an, yet relieves 1t in another from the op.

hae producedl And whittier do not the

raorl pi 3eg.,.s .l.s- srss,a Of any one sub
ject. as conspres to illustrate the Chris
liam evidencesl All the wisdom and pow
er and goodness aad sovereignty of the
Almighty are displayed to our obedient
faith. It's not merely a stream Of evi.
dence; it is swelling tide--a food which
bears away the vessel, and against which
not a breath or whisper OF solid objection
can be raised. 1t stands alone It bears
the unequyocal impress of the majesty Of
the one revelation which the blessed GOD
has vouchsaied to man.
And why should add word oQ the
propagation of Christianity, and its beae-
fetal effects. except tosay, that they const-
tute Of themselves independent proofs
which nothing can invahdaie; and that,
when connected with the preceding, they
shut up and conclude the external eyl
deuces of Christianity.
Nothing can be added. So far as We
can Judge, the case admits of no stronge
evidence. All the attributes Of the Al
mighty, relulgentln the miraculous powers
and dispersed all around in the word o
prophecy, as reflected 10 the events Of the
world for SIX thousand years; and concen
trated in the propagation of the gospel; an'
blessing mankind daily in Its 6enefci0
effects, emblazon the Christian revelatio
with glory which must burst upon ever
eve, and penetrate every heart which d
not wilfully closed and hardened by per
verseness and obdJracy.
And the whole evidence Is sealed by tn
doctrine of the diyiae inspiration Of tn
scriptures, which leaving every thing hu
man as to the form, renders every tim
:nGslli8lo as 70 ;hc matter Of the reyelatIo
which it conveys; and thus unites IN
highest emanations of the wisdom an
power of God with the most compassionate
exercises of his condescension aud grace.
