SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
From Mr.. Tavior's Sermon.

This institution affords afavorablc oppor;u-
ni,y for the dcvolopement and cultivation of
mind. The experiment has been made;
and in many instances, children with Sun.
day-school tuition alone have advanced more
rapidly than those who, with equal talent,
have enjoyed the advantage ofweek day in
sruction. The free conversational mode
of communicating information has most
happy tendency to knowledge. Not only
is the memory exercised, but the judg-
mcnt. The youth is taught to think; nor
is the disposition to acquire knowledge con-
fined to the Lords day. 1t continues
throughout the week while facilities for its
qualification arc furnished by the volumes
so carefully prepared by this Society,"
But the moral effect is still more obvious
and valuable, not simply in allowing access
to these wcll-sclectcd Libraries, but in the
pcrusal of Gods own book, the Scriptures
Of uncrring truth. "Thc law of the Lord
is perfect, converting the SOUL" In these
schools, The rising generation arc made IA
miliar with its sublime doctrines. its fearful
dcnunciations against sin, its kind invitations
and promises, and lis holy precep.s. These
divincly inspired records arc placed before
the vision, and pressed upon the conscience,
with the winning affection Of those who
knew their inestimablc value. Ii is ono of
the happiest pcculiaritics of this system, that
the Bible is the on nly text book employed by
those who read, and thatcvcn the youngest
and most mlettcred child is accustomed to
hear It's heavenly truths. Who can enter a
well organized school, and behold the teach
er with his class seated around him, regar-
ding with fixed attention the word Of God,
and not be struck with admiration at the
happy adaptedness Of this scheme to make
impressions OF the best and most abiding
character? Perhaps in no one method
could the church put forth an instrumental.
ty bearing so directly on the interests ofthe
present age, and of that which is to follow.

in his la:e visit to America, he had been sur

The practice is III itself very irrcverent." "
From time immcmorial it has been cus'o-
mary among all nations not only to "Rise
up before the hoary head" as mark of res.
pect, but to rise also in case of meeting a
friend, or addressing some great parsonage.
1t has also been customary to rise up whcE-
ever any thing of great importance was pre-
scntcd so as to awaken intcres'. And
has not simple nature dictated this practice
among all nations! lfso, how mreasona.

lours truly, u.
THE APOSTATE.
C. was all apprentice in the City Of H.,
he was awakened to sense of his sin and
danger short time before myself. Very
well do remember the distress and anguish
of soul manifested by him, when, at an even
ing meeting, he would be unable to restrain
his feelings, but would cyclaim in suppress
sod whisper, HTdat shall I do?'
Afcr experiencing this distress for a few
weeks, he ob'aiHed relief, and appeared TO
be happy in God. Shortly he presented
himself 10 the church, was received, bapti-
zcd, and for time run well.
Cwas naturally vivacious and rude, and
ere many months, began TO associate with
irrcligious young men Of the same natural
turn with himself. All! had he needed
those words Of Holy Writ, "a companion
of fools shall be destroyed" he might per.
haps have s:ood until this day. Not long
an;cr he began to associate with the class
referred to, hc-bccame, on holiday occa-
SION, Intoxicated, and conducted himself very
improperly ! he however soon came forward
and confessed to the church, and appeared
pcnitcnt. We torgavc him, and hoped
but alas ere many weeks he was again over
taken in the same sin as before. From
this time his course was downward, and SI,f-
flee it to say. in about a year from the time
of his admission to the church he was ex-
cluded from it. Aficr this he seemed to
abandon himself TO many vices, and before
many years left H. and went to the South.
\ christian brother saw him in South Carolina
several years since. He was then employ
cd as Stage Drivcr-sccmcd to shun his
brother. who had been 10 him a near and
dear iriend-was surrounded by knot of
profanc and wicked men and, by the in
formation received, had givca himself up
to work uncleanncss with grcediness.
Poor CT have heard nothing from him
for many years, and whether he be new
among the living, or gone 10 render his ac-
count 10 that Saviour whom he had put to
an open shame, know not; but his case is
full of mtcres'. yea of solemn warning to all
who have named the name of Chris, and
especially to the young professors. "Let
him that thinketh he standc:h take heed
lest he fall. Chr. Spectator.

Christ, a Stador.-Christ is declared in
scripture 10 be shadow TO the ilicndlcss and
afflicted soul. We read OF the shadow of a
clcud-the shadow of trce-thc shadow OF
rock-the shadow of the tabernacle from
the heat. The shadow of the cloud in the
harvest is grateful, but transient. The
shadow OF u tree. under which we sit down,
is delightful, but it is limited to small dis.
tancc, and the rays frequently pierce through
the boughs. The shadow Ola great rock is
dense and cool; but it bctricnds not on ev-
cry side, and covers little from the vertical
rays. The shadow of tabernacle into
which we may continually resort, and find
not only room but entertainment, is the most
complete and inviting. Christ is what they
imply, and more than all of them combined
He is not only perfect, but divine: and he
that dweleth inthc secret places of the Most
High, shall abide under the shadow Of the
ALnighty.-Jay.

The Tory presses are continually crying out to the people to support Van Buren, be- cause he will carry out the principles of the Administration. Which principles!

Which principles General Jackson was elected by the ayowed enemies of the eau GUS system, as the anti-caucus champion and candidate. Van Buren was nominated bya caucus, is the caucus candidate, and has no other claim on the people. Gen.

It is not trde.

There is great rejoicing in the fold over penitent sinner. The Gazette offers the hand offriendship to the Constitutional Journal, as the latter '<has given in it's adhesion to the Van Buren party. The Journal, however, has expressed it's intention of supporting men of all parties for office, if they arc worthy to which the Gazette objects. and talks about Federahsts and Nullifiers. Poh! look at your own piebald ranks. You can find a few of each species there.

The bill establishing the Territory of Wis consin has passed both Houses of Congress, and is now a law.

 The Gazette, in bragging over their uicto- ries, says, ''Rhode Island, Connecticut and Virginia have been true to themselves.o , Rhode Aland, Connecticut and Ui,g'iaia, Shade of Jefferson, where art thou! It is true, notwithstanding. The two former-- Federal States to the back bone, have gone for the Federal candidate, Van Buren--and the latter is fast throwing off the yoke.
 The Secretary of the Vermont Abolition Society writes to Mir. Washington, of Nash vile, and says:

 That only pfovss that Mr. Secretary was a fool. Had he said the same thing to an admi- nistration man, the answer would probably have been, that it was true. As it was, the answer was, that Il acds q iie-and the Gazette knew what the answer was, when 1t published the foregoing paragraph.  A correspondent of the Gazette, writing from Fayetteville, says;
 alt Is generally known that the Editor O the Advocate has frequently declared tha he supported White because he was oppo sed to the principles of the administration and Van Buren, and if elected would carry out the views of Webster, Clay, and Cal. houn.''
