CHRISTIAN RELIGION.

As to the Christian Religion, besides
the strong evidences which we have
for IT, therei, balance in its favor
from the number Of great men who
have been convinced Of its truth, after
a serious consideration Of the question.
Grotius was an acute man. l,wyer. a

The powder is the same al that

OF powdered tin but their powder is
no usually fine enough. If the glue

THE GATHERER.
For the Star.

Solomon saith T" Ny son, hear tho INSTRUCT
ion fthy Father and forsake not the law Of
thy Mother" Should not these sentiments
be more generally impressed on the minds Of
children. than At present seems 10 be the
p actice. Fer in wha. does there exist
more pleasing spectacle. than the sight Of
child, listening with the most profound atien-
tioD to wholesome instruction, a. il drops
from the lips Of those who feel deep inter-
est for their future welfare For il is to the
impressions which are formed in the euily
stage Of exis,ance, that must be attributed
the course which may be pursued during the
after portion Of our lives. .4nd not unfre-
quently, persons cherish with the most sacred
fsndness the precspts which their parents
taught them, should be their guide and govern
their actions, and form correct rulo for their
c,ndue, with mankind, which is a treasure
Of great importance. For Solomon again
says" hearO my sen, and receive my say
gs,andth' years ofthy life shall be many"
Thus we find that he expostulates ina fsrvsnt
and earnest manner, to cndeavor to induce
him, to give heed to his instructions, in or.
dei that his feet might be kept in tho way
where joys continue to rise in prospect, until
the eye tired Of the view, closes on the scsen
and the imagination is lost in the reality of
its beauties. In many instances, c;rcun,stan-
ces render /. lmpra cticable for the father to
devote as much time in training the young
and tender mind in ways which it would be
a pleasing task 10 follow, in afte- life, a. IL

through life with safety and in the end
guide and direct the bark with skilfull man
agement to haven, clear Of all rocks and
quick sands, which continually endangsr the
fr:n fabrick Of our tranquil enjoyments.--
Hence the admonition forsake not the law
thy mother" But let the precepts which
she hath loft for thyruIe, be ever fresh IN thy
recollection. and her examples uppermost in
thy mind, 10 admonsh when thy feet may
stray from the " straight and narrow PATH
from the alluring scenes which are held out
10 entice the from it int road where all is

BEAUTY AND HEALTH.
Females should be early tuught
this important fact, that BEAUTY
cannot, in reality, exist, independ.
emf Of health /; and that the one ia
absolutely unattainable by any prac
tice inconsistent with the other. In
vain do they hope 10 improve their
skin--tO give q /" roseate hue" tn
the cheeks, or to augment the grace
and symmetry Of their forms, unless
they are cautious to preserve tho
whole frame in health, vigor and
activity. Beauty of complexion, and
to a certain extent, that Of shape al.
so, is nothinS more than visible
health-a pure mirror Of tho per.
fnrmance of the internal functions,
and OF their harmony with the exter.
nal portions uf the system /; the cer-
tain effects of pure air, eheerfulness,
temperance, and of exercise, unin.
terrupted by any species Of uMnatu.
raj cOnstraint.
BEAUTY. That quaint old NOR
alist Qnarles IN lis Enchirdion. gives
us the following advice - Gaze not
%" beauty too much, lest il bias,
thee : ii thou love il, it disiufbs
thee If thou lust after it it dis
troys thee /, If virtue accompany it,
il is the souls purgatory {; it is thu
wise mans bonfire, and the fools
furnace.

appeared, that whale had swallow

with his deserts, and we hope that
his msrited end will be an everIast
