THE RECHABITEs.

The Rev. Joseph Wof'says: "On my
arrival at Mesopotamia, some Jews that
saw there pointed me to one of the ancient
Rechabites. He stood Lefore me, wild,
like an Arab, holding the bride OF his
horse in his hand. | showed him the BIZ
bic in Hebrew and Arabic, which be was
much rcjoictdto see, as he could read both
languages, but had no knowledge of the
New Testament After having proclaim
ed to him the tidngs of salvation, and made
him present of the Hebrew and Arabic
Bibles and Tcstaments, | asked him.
Whose descendant are you ?
"'Mousa,' said he, boisterousIv, is my
name, and | will show you who were nv
ancestors:' on which he Immediately be-
gan to read from the 5th to the 18th verses
of Jeremiah xxxv
"'Where do you reside p said l.
Turning to Genesis X. 81, he replied,
AT HadOram, now called Simar by the
Arabs; at Uza], now chilled Sanan by the
ArabS:' and again referring to the same
chapter verse 3Oth, he continuend, at Me-
sha, now called Mecca, in the deserts a.
round those places. We drink no wine
and plant no vineyard, and SOW no seed
and live in the tents, as Jonadab, our father
commanded US: TIoba was our father, too
Come to us, end you will find US sixty
thousand in number: and you see thus the
prophecy has been fulfilled. Therefore
thus saith the Lord of Hosts, the God O.
Israel, Jonadab, the son Of Rechab, shall
not want man to stand before me for ever;
and saying this, Mousa, the Rechabite
mounted his horse, end fled away, and
left behind a host Of evidence in favor c.
the sacred writ. '-( Lond0n) Visitor.

stow? No-sainted mother the tear that
coursed down your cheek in this behalf,
even was of precious price for Its birth
place was IN a fountain as sacred as it IS
perennial
Thus passed onward to the grave, this
atttctlonate woman. At length she was
enabled to cast her burden, and all her
care, upon Him who is more than willing
to bear the sorrows of every one. In the
word OF God, she found many rich and
precious promlses-promises that seemed
slngularIy adapted to her condition and
fears as a mother. These she pressed
closely TO her throbbing bosom, and they
gave her perfect peace until the silver
cord was loosed, the pitcher broken at the
fountain, and the spirit had gone to God
who gave it. These promises propose
to group together n future communica
ton and as your Journal shall 60 out up
on It's errand of love, it may, pcrchance
find its way to the chamber where some
dying mother is agitated with similar fears
and pressed down with similar sorrows.
Another topic, brought forcibly to my
mind by the interview referred to, was
thls-the duty ofSu1 rlrlng parents to thT
children Of their deceased friends. Wher
I pressed this dying mothers hand, anc
told her that | would try 10 counse! anc
watch over her loved ones, when she
should be gone, her pale cheek crinsonec
with hectic glow, and her eye beamec
forth ray of joy. And if to her this
promise gave aught ofhappiness, surel y
may have the privilege OF enforcing the
same duty upon others. For this pur
pose, may I, at some future time claim
page in your Journal?

E. C.. Dc!0r0n, Esq-Sir-I feel hap
ry in being able to report that the Tenn
perance Societies in this country present,
at the present time, very ntttering aspects
We continue to receive very encouraging
reports OF the progress of Old societies and
the establishment Of new ones; and alto
cether. we think the cause never appeared
more calculated for eminent usefulncsS-
Notwithstanding the opposition OF inter-
ested persons, and the GOODNESS and indlt-
ference manifested by the prejudiced and
unretlecting, the principle Of Tce:otaIlsm
continues to extend its blessed Influences;
and we rely upon the mighty force of our
principles, upon the omnipOtence OF truth,
for our ultimate trump in pulling down
the strong holds of intcmFcrancc, and
thereby removing the greatest Earrler that
ever INSTRUCTED the progress ofhuman i'm
provement. The christian minister and
the philanthropist may exert themselves to
elevate the character OF the people by the
diffusion of religion AMI education, and
their exertions are in the highest degree
praiseworthv-but till the b]l9htlng lntiu-

serve their title to consistency, to come
forward and lend their powerful assistance
in this good cause, and the good resulting
therefrom would soon be apparent. lam
happy to say that many of this class Of
PERSONS have already come forward, and
| have no doubt the time is not far distant

BROTHER KINGsBURY-I rejoice that

We soon had the saJ*f'c'1>n II vim. >S.nc
an increase in our school,, fir, IL ,,t, to l24
children. This seemed at cnco to give
new impulse TO all our meetings. Our
congregation was large and respectable.
Some attention began to be apparent to
the great interest of the soul. During
the summer, fall and winter, about twenty
five united with the church on probation
Old professors seemed to be more revived,
and backsiders returned.
We commenced a protracted meeting
on the last Tuesday morning in February
On the first week Of the meeting we were
kindly favored with the hntiring and faith
full Iabors ofbrothers J. B. Brown, Banis-
ter, Willard, Fisk, and a few occasional
visits from brothers Briggs ofthe Cengrc-
oatonaIist, and Lothrop ofthc Bal ts' de-
nominations. At our first meeting, an
opportunity was given for persons deslr-
Gus of religion to m2niitst 1t. ! think
fourteen presented thcnso;'cS. AT every
succeeding meeting the number Increased
who came forward, soliciting the prayers
ofthe people of the Lord, until a. least one
hundred and fifty crowded their way to
seats nrerarcd for them:-and there, with
hearts bleeding under sense Of sins COM
mitted against the Lord, and with strong
cvring and tears they sought and found
Him whom they had wounded 1t was
truly a sight over which angels could but
, rejoice
On the second week Of our meeting,
we had but one ministerng brother to help
