THE SCoTTIsH Observation-Disclosures
nations have usually adopted some en-
blem of distinction, which is engraven
upon the coins or painted upon their
ensigns. Thus the eagle is the emblem
Of the United States, the lion Of Eng
land. &c. The Scottish emblem is the
thistle, and there is curious story con
nected with its adoption:
When the Danes Invaded Scotland,
it was deemed unwarlke to attack an
enemy in the night, instead off pitched
battle by day but on one occasion the
invaders resolved to avail themselves
of this stratagem and in order to pre-.
venttheir tramp from being heard, they
marched barelooted. They had thus
neared the Scottish force unobserved,
when Dane unluckily stepped with
his naked foot upon a superbly prick
led thistle, and instinctively uttered a
cry of pain, which discovered the as
sault to the Scots, who ran to their
arms and defeated the foe with terrible
slaughter. The thistle was immediate
ly adopted as the emblem of Scotland.

SOUND DoCTRINE.-The following
passage is from an eloquent sermon
recently preached in Boston, by the
Rev. N. l.. Frothingham-
"Take the laws as they are; they
are the only barrier between you and
the robbers violence and the ussassins
knife and would say revere them.
Thwart them not. Stand by their de-
cision.-Come to their help good men
and true. Let them not be made in
effectual by your weak reluctances.-
Let them not be brought into mistrus
by your objections and Communication.
and outcries, till they have no males
ty leit.-Let them not be undermined
by the wastelul and washy tide of mis-.
taken philanthropy. In the name Of
the divine equity, for the sake of con
mon protection stay them not in their
righteous though terrible doings. Ev.
cry attempt to invaldate their spoken
decree is a public wrong. Every
voice that has sworn to Judge only
according to the law and evidence, &
then refuses to speak but according to
private pity, is false to its oaths."
