REVIvALIN WEsTBORUUGH.

A brief sketch Of recent revival in West
borough, Mass. was given by the Rev. Mr.
Putnam, of DunbartOn, before the Hopkin-
ton Association during its meeting IN this
town last week.
The revival commenced in April last
The first appearances Of it were at a regular
church meeting; unusual feeling and inter
est were manifested by members Of the
church; in consequence Of which, it was
deemed expedient to take measures to aWak-
en- still deeper interest. A day Of fasting
and prayer was appointed, also a committee
to visit the members Of the church on the
same day. The day was generally obscrV-
ed in private devotion and selt-eXalnlnatlOn
and when the committee called the mean
bers were found at home: and IN a most de-
sirable state offeeling. On the evening Of
the same day was church meeting well at
tended; and exhibiting proof that the Lord
was there: and that the spirit was poured
from on high. The ordinary means OF grace
were brought into efficient use; and a SOL
emn work extended through the society. In
three weeks meeting OF inquiry was ap-
pointed at which "a assembled; Of whom S
were rejoicing in hope. On the next week
so attended; on the third, So
The revival progressed steadily and SOL
EMMY: and still continues. Fitty-tour have
been received to the church. Nearly $50
have shared in the blessing. The Sabbath
School partook most largely. As many as
100 ofthe Sabbath School give evidence OF
renewal-nearly 80 who were under -
years of age appear to have chosen the good
part. Several entire classes are subjects OF
the work. At the commencement OF the
revival only one Of the teachers OF The dis
trict schools was professor OF rellglon;--
now all, or all but one. are hoping IN Christ.
The seal Of Divine appreciation sccuIS TO
be stamped upon the Sabbath School in
struction: in this revival nearly tWo-thrds
were those who had been employed IN
searching the scriptures.
The means used to promote the work
were the same that have been used IN past
DAYS and years-the faithful preaching OF the
word by stated pastor; and the energetic
co-operation of the church, A monthly tast
has been observed by the members, in secret
mart of the dav, and in public exercises the
other part. Thus God has given additional
! nroot to the numhcrless proofs before given.
! that his own institutions are intended for
the conversion and salvation of souls: and
! that djlicent use of the stated ordinances
will secure important results.
One thought should be enforced on all
churches-this church seemed ready to per
form their part in sustaining their pastor
and in discharging their duty to their fellow
men. They rose up and went to the worn
with alacrity. If other churches will dc
likewise, similar blessing may be expected
Prove me. saith the Lord, if will not opOn
the windows Of heaven, and pour you cut a

THE MINISTER'S WIFE.

Let not a lady marry minister OF the gO5-
pei merely because she may fancy him, or
because she may desire companion at
home. She ought to look at her station as
one in which she may gority God by dong
good. Every one knows that minister
ought to be actuated by motives OF this har-
acter in entering upon his office; and why,
ask, should his uve be less devoted than
hinlself2 Indeed in some respects, more
depends on her than on him. The pIety and
activity of the church depends upon 'Jemdtc
influence" and this influence In every con
gregation may be greatly increased or d.
minished by the course taken by the minis
ter's wife In all ordinary circumstances
! the females of the church love to see the
wife of their minister prompt and ready II
every good enterprise. Perhaps no female
in the community is in better situation t'
accomplish great things for Christ and tn
church than she. 1t will be her own 1aul
if she does not place her memorial IN heaT
en-, and her records in the hearts OF her Tel
low Christians. But how shall this be done
=. How shall she make the most OF her talent
t and her station? Hints only can be give

Nh EDITOR:
A rejoinder to Daleth's review of M. S
essay on atonement is probabI y expected
by the public, and l regret that the neces-
sary labors attendant on preparing to re-
move to distant part of the country pre-
vents me from doing more than to make a
brief examination of one or two things out
of a multitude which need correction,
leaving the essay, which you have kindly
consented to publish in your paper when
ever 1t shall appear in its revised form, to
speak for itself.
DaIeth says, "Our first inquiry, on en-
tering on the discussion of the subject, is

The first thing is to consult the profess
s|on0! reputation and lU50rs OF her hus-
band. She is not to forget that he belongs
to Christ and the church. He has duties
solemn as eternity which must be perform
ed; and she is emphatically, his colleague,
or 'help neet." She must take an interest
in every thing which relates to his arduous
duties, and encourage him, amid the many
discouragementso OF his station in the church.
There is no man on earth who so much
needs the counsels of a pruden, and the
sympathies Of a kind-hearted 'cVe, as a
minister. And in order to enter into his
anxietes and joys and sorrows, she ought to
be eminent for practical piety. Her religion
should be ola most elevated character. This
will prepare herto sympathize with the feel
ings of her husband and the Interests of the
church of God. 1t should be her aim to have
her house so managed that il stpay be little
sanctuary, place Of prayer, .tbc"> abode Of
peace, and the type of heaven. This depends
almost entirely upon the wife, and If any
where upon earth, we may expect, IN her
peculiar PROVINCE to see that meCE and qU}et
spirit which is said to be of great price in
the sight of Co., Habits of economy, too,
become a cIergvman>5 habitatlon. All at
tectaton in worldly splendOr, in dress, fur
njturc, and table expenses, and equIpage,
have had effect on the interests ofrcligion.
Such things in a minister's family, never
fail to create immense and direct practical
mischief Ii any where, we ought to expect
in a minister's house, to have every thing so
arranged and managed as to speak the I'M
equvucal language-"We are strangers and
pilgrims on the earth" And all this, need
not tell you, must be regulated by your sex.
In on word. the expectation. the influence,
and the usefulness OF their minister depends
as much upon the temper and conduct Of his
wife, as upon his collegiate and theological!
education, almosta, upon the strength OF his
own piety or intellect And if one half of
this is true, we may arrive at the conclusion,
that minister O"oM to hare tie best rife

There has one circumstance Just oc-

The effect Of this over every man en-
uapcd in the business OF wni'er ms VI"
attendant must be mischiev0us IN me ex-
IRENE, and will soon reduce b'm I" the
degraded condition in which the like class
az men is elsewhere. Instead of being
an independent man as he now is-paid
for his labor by the man who employs
him, he must subject himself TO the ca"
price Of any traveller, and nod at his
beck and be abused at his pleasure. -
Thus, instead of being elevated in the
order of society, as it is the object OF our
political institutions to elevate him, his
character and his feelings become de-
graded and soured, and he will neither
respect himself, nor will any other per-
son respect him, but he will he consider
| ed as a nuisance by every person who
has the misfortune TO fall in his way
Labor in this country is in such demand
that any man employed should insist up
on being placed above the condition OF
Iibeggar, and demand fixed and stated
sum for his labor. rs for the keepers
of Hotels, wac tolerate this petty sy stem
of spunging, (but it is probable that they
are not now aware Of its existence ln
their houses, there is an easy rem 'dy
for them. The Press can set snch
things in order, and it is the duty Of eve,
ry man connected with il to aid in so do
ing. The traveller can take particular
care never to visit such a house again
The custom is not yet fixed upon US, we
can rebel tilr il is, but when it is fixed
the law Of the land itself is not so mpe
rlous. Our American character, our in
stitutions, that so remarkably distlne u's'

this system of degradation so far as th'
domestic is concerned, and Of nuisance
as il regards the traveller. Even tn
French are rapidly reforming this mis-
chief, and gen"raIly speaking, the'
coachman's perquisites and their pos
boys peranisiies are now inserted as
part of the regular bill. But let foreign
ers do as they please, yet let not Amer
cans Eropenni=e their country. Abov
all do not let us become, as there is dan
ger of our becoming foreigners in or
