SRPARArIoN.-Much is said about Sc
paration. The Presbyterian is decidedly
Of the opinion that the time for a separa-
ton has arrived The editor of the Pitts
burgh Herald says-"We may surren-
der the truth, continued quarrel, or sepa-
rate. Who then that loves the truth can
hesitatef Who then that hates st ife and
sontention can hesitate p We would
echo the question--"W Who can hesitate p
We think, with these brethren, that the
time has come TO separate. Too long, Nv
far too long. has our church been like
Gdeon's host, "too many" We say
again, Let US separate. Let every Pres
bytery in our land draw a dividing line
through Its boundaries, 50 that il shall be
equally divided into two parties. Then
let one Of the parties forthwith separate
from the other, aud begin to scatter them
selves over the destitute regions of this land
and when all the vacant churches shall be
provided with pastors, and all the new ones
formed which the wants of our country
demand, let the remainder (if ANY, station
themselves with the least possible delay,
in the dark places of the earth, and there
begin to proclaim the unsearchable riches
ofthe gospelto perishing men. We think
such separation would produce a good
effect and hope that il will be speedily
accomphshed.--BIfalO Spec.
HEATHrSI.M.-Ifwe may Judge from
the dislike which the opposers Of revealed
religion exhibit toward the principles of
christianity, we may suppose that they
would prefer heathenism to christianity
But they little consider the vast difference
between the condition of heather nations
and that Of those nations which are even
but partly christiaDized. Among the thou
sand revolving practices Of the heather
nations let the reader consider the follow
ing respecting the
Seythias BuriGLs.-According TO Her
odotus when one Of their kings died, thew
first embalmed bis body, wrapped it up in
wax, and carried it in an open chariot
throughout his dominions, exhibiting it 10
all the people. then laid it in a large
grave, and with It one of his ,oipes his chief
cup bearer, his great chamberlin, his mas
ter Of horse, his chancellor, and his Sccre-
larry of statf,-aH ofwAon rcere put to
death for tkss purpose!
Now why do not those ungodly rulers
and magistrates, who deride the religion
Of that Savior that died for them, and tram
pie onthe authority oftheir maker, sigh
for the return Of these and similar practi-
ces which through the influence OF the
christian.religion have been abolished

Rev. Mr.. Braman's society in New
Rowley have lately cut open their meet
ing -house. for the purpose Of adding
twenty pews to accommodate their in
creasing number. Mr.. Braman is on the
fortieth year of his ministry, and the
steady increase Of the society must be
highly gratifying to him, and is a strong
testimony in favor of the steady habits of
the people. Mr.. Chandler served them
fifty-six years two ministers only in a
century, and supplied more than ninety
SIX years, in the hundred, is one Of the
best practical exempli6cations Of the hab-
Its OF the first settlers of the country cou-
tinued down to modern times.-Harerhill

Inthe evening, President Lord, Of Dart
mouth College, delivered a sermon before
the alumni, [of Andover Seminary from
Mat. Ii. 4, S. The subject was The
present state and relations of Christianity"
Il was radical sermon, going to the bot
tom Of all the great reforms Of the day.
His doctrine was, not that ministers must
shut out from their pulpits and their peo-
! pie, all agitating subjects and lectures, but
that they themselves must take the lead,
and guide the movements. They will 60
forward. The times and the people re-
quire il We are gladto find such man
as DR.. Lord willing to follow our first prin-
eiples. and leave the consequences with
God.--N e. Spec.
