MATERNAL INFLUENCE

Maternal Influence in the culture OF
the affections, those springs which put in
motion the human machine, has long been
conceded That it might also bear d-
rcctly upon the development Of intellect
and the growth Of the s,crncr virtues of
manhood, is proved by the obligations of
the great Bacon to his studious mother,
and the acknowledged indebtedness ol
Washington, to the decision, to the al
most Laccdcmonian culture, Of his ma
tcrnal guide.
The immense force Of first Impressions
is OH the side of the mother. An engine
of uncomputcd power is committed to her
hand. If she fix her lever judciously,
though she may not, like Archimcdcs, as-
pirc to move the earth, she may hope to
raise ono Of the inhabitants of earth to
heaven. Her danger will arise from de-
lay in the commencement of her opera
tons, as well as from doing too little, OF
too much, after she has engaged in the
work. As there is medium in chcmis-
try, between the exhausted receiver, and
the compound blowpipc, so in early cdu-
cation, the incrtncss which undertakes
nothing, and the impaticnco which at.
tcmpts all things at once, may be equally
indiscrcct and fatal.
The mental fountain is unscalcd to the
eye of mother, ere it has chosen Q
channel, or brcathcd murmur. She
may tingo with sweetness or bitterness
the whole stream of future life. OthcI
teachers have to contend with unhappy
combinations Of ideas: she. rules the sim

A melancholy account Of death is related in the
Chilicothe Evening Post of a late date. Mrs. Eli
zabcth Hicks, young woman who had been mar
rcd but fow days previous, while in bed by the
side of her husband, was aroused by a bite upon
one other checks, from some object unknown and
unpcrceived by hcr; at which she called to her
husband, who got up, and as speedily as possible,
procured light, but before he returned to the bod
she received another bite in the breast. On remov-
ing the clothes snake or adder, near three feet in
length, ran out upon the floor. Medical assistance
was Immediately called, hut without avail-she
survived few days in great distress, and expired.
1t il supposed that tho snake had crept up the side
Of tho building through the roof and dropped down
through an aperture in the flooring directly over the
bed.

pie and plastick elements. OF her, we
may say, she hath "entered into the mag
azines Of snow, and seen the treasures Of
the hail."
In the moral field, she is a privileged
laborer. Ere the dews Of morning be-
gin to cxhale, she is there. She breaks
up soil, which the root of error and the
thops ofprcjudice have not pre-occupied.
She plants germs whose fruit is for cter-
nifty. While she feels that she IL requir-
cd to educate not merely viruous
member ofsocicty, but christian, an an
gel, servant of the Most High, how
does so holy charge quicken piety, by
teaching the heart IFS own insuiliciency!
The soul of the inlnnt is uncovered
before her. She knows that the images,
which she cnshrincs in that unpollutcd
sanctuary, must rise before het at the bar
of doom. Trembling at such response
bility, she teaches the little being, whose
life is her dearest care, Of the God who
made him, and who can measure the cX-
tent of mothers lessons Of picty, un-
less his hand might remove the veil,
which divides terrestrial from celestial
things'
"Whcn l was q little child" said a
good man, "my mother used to bid me
to kncel beside her, and place her hand
upon my head, while she prayed. Ere
j was old enough to know her worth she
died, and l was left too much to my own
guidance. Like others, l was inclined
to evil passions, but often felt myself
checked, and, as it were, drawn back, by
soft hand npon my head.
When young man, travelled in TO-
reign lands, and was exposed to tempta-
tions But when | would have yielded,
that same hand ros upon my head, and
was saved. i seemed to feel lis pressure
as in the days ofhappy infancy, and some
times there came with it voice, that
must be obcycd--'Oh! do not this wick
cdncss, my son, nor sin against thy God. "

The following article from the Journal Of Edu-
cation should be read and remembered by every
individual in the community.
TIE ECONOMY OF LITERnR Y
AND RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS.

No principle in political economy is
better established than that liberal sup
port of religious and literary institutions,
is favorable to the pccuniary as well as
moral prosperity of people. This is
apparent in all ages of the world, in cv-
cry country, and in all states of society;
from the lowest class ofI,ussians or Irish,
to the most enlightened and refined cir
clcs in Europe or America. But VIC
need not 60 so far to establish this i'm
portant principle, in system ofmcans to
produce the greatest amount Of human
happiness. 1t is evident in the present
time, and in New England, it will rccur
to the recollection of the most careless
traveller who has been in the different
sections Of our country, that the general
prosperity in towns, villages, and coun-
tics, is nearly in proportion to the schools
and religious institutions.
When the citizens Of town believe
that they arc unable to support clcrgymcr
and schoolmastcrs, they are always toe
poor, also, to repair roads, enclose THEN
farms with fences, to repair the dilapida.
ted buildings of their fathers, or even Il
replace the broken glass of window
otherwise than by old hats and garments
But where public worship and common
schools are well supported, it is common
to sec marks of general prosperity and in
dividual wealth. There the public com
mon will be neatly enclosed, and private
possessions will Indicate not only prospc
rity but taste.
/ These representations arc not picture
but facts, and establish the principle con
clusively, that it is ever as "A course o
worldly policy and thrift, better to supper
the two kinds of institutions than to nc.

CHURCH AND STATE.

Two Of the Prcsbyterios in the West
cm States having mtimatcd their desire
that the General Assembly would notice
the slandcrous reports which have been
80 extensively circulated against the
Presbyterian and other denominations, in
yolving the charge ofan attempt, Oh the
part of these denominations, to unite
church and state, and by some public act /,
disabusc themselves and their const itucnts
of such unloundcd and FURIOUS iInputa-
iions, a committee was appointed at the
late session of the General Assembly to
take the matter into consideration and
make report The following is the re-
port, which was adopted by the Assem-
bly,.
In the opinion of your committee, no
public act is nee ccssary on tho part of this
Assembly, to refute charge wholly un-
supported, by testimony and facts; nor
any exposition of their principles in rcla-
ton to civil magistracy and the claims of
the church demanded, other than that
contained in our ecclesiastical standards,
and published to the world.
For the better information, however,
Of any who may be in danger of imposi-
ton from unlounded statements, the As
sembly would refer to the following exhi-
btion of their principles as contained in
the accredited constitution oftheir church.

"lt is delightful to behold the advan-
ccd spiritual traveller, after tho latigucs
of his toilsomc day, arriving within sight
Of his eternal home. Elevated like Mo-
ses upon the heights of Pisgah, far above
the busy crowd with whom he has 80 long
associated, he is enabled from tho serene
emincncc on which he stands, to behold
at once tho country he has left, and that
to which ho is Fastening. Ho looks
back upon his chequered path, surprised
that obstacles which now appear so tri-
fling, compared with the importance of
the objects in view, should so long have
retarded his progress. The interposing
mountains which once he thought impas-
siblc, have now lost their aspcrities, and
appear but as airy clouds in the distant
horizon. With sorrow he rctraces his
frequent dcviations from the direct path
in search of giddy phantoms, which Of
tentimcs, after all his efforts, eludod his
pursuit, or if obtained, proved but an en-
cumbrancc to him in his arduous pilgrim
age. Animated by the beauty of the
country which lies before him, and which
is separated from him only by the dark
river Of death that rolls along its sullen
wave to the ocean Of eternity, he looks
back with regret and wonder upon that
infatuation which so often induced him
to prefer the tri1cs of the scene through
which he was journcying to the celestial
glorics of yon blissfhl shore. Forgetting
therefore the things which are behind"

Mn. GALLAUDEr. Among those who
have lcarnedly and practically advanced
the great cause of sound education in the
present age, there is no name more cnti-
tied to respect, and which will enjoy q
more hallowcd remembrance, than that
of the Rev. Thos. III Gallaudct. Those
who have visited the European institutions
in which the proper mode of instruction
is investigated and cultivated as science,
report that he recognised abroad as be-
ing without Il superior, i'll the philanthrO-
pic and intellectual pursuit to which his
life has been devoted. His successful
labors in this country, in the instruction
of the deaf and dumb, are well known and
properly appreciated. We regret to learn
that the state of his health compels him to
retire from the discharge of his duties as
principal of the American Institution for
that object His usefulness, however,
will not cease. We arc informed that he
intends to devote his attention to the pre-
paration of elementary works, systcmati-
cally calculated to aid the proper dcvc-
lopcmcnt and outline of the human mind
One work of this kind, from his pen, has
already been published, which abundant
lyjustiiicsthc expectations naturally form
cd from his great experience and known
skill rs teacher. We understand that
the Directors propose to solicit Mr.. Weld
of Philadelphia to take charge of the in
stitution as Mr. Gallaudct's successor.--
The selection is fortunate one, and we
hope the invitation will be accepted
