4 WRONG BEGINNING.

We have inserted today, by request, the
plan study pursued in the theological de-
partmeut Of the Western Reserve College.
1t Will be seen that the first topics under the
head of Systematic Theology, are mental
Philosophy, Ethics, foundation Of night,
moral agency, nature and design Of law,
and Province Of Reason and Philosophy
in Religion. In the hands OF Some ins;ruc-
tors these subjects. as the first Iathe course,
might be disposed Of without dctriment 10
those which follow. la the hands OF those
who hove adopted peculiar views OH them,
those views must shape and mould tie lun.

the great diversity of views which now pre-.
val on mental philosophy, and moral agen.
cy, and the kindred topics, 1t would have
been a more telici,ous arrangement to have
referred these subjects, either to some 9th.
department, or to some other place IN the
same department.. In systematic theology
the Bible is, and ought to regarded as the
text book, and the mind Of student should
come to it dives:ed ofprepossesslons, and
unwarped by any peculiar systemof m'n-
tai philosophy Or otethics. The precedent
of such an arrangement could not be favor.

curence, and now that the results have been
in some measure developed, and are known
to be unfavorable to the theology ofthe Bl.

to receive more favor from a discerning
pubic. The frankncss ofpublshns it is
commendable. But had the plan acknowl.
edged tic Bible as the sole and exclusive
standard OF theology, itwould not by many
have been regarded as deficient or redun-

security, that its doctrines were not TO be
shaped in accordance with system drawn

THE MARRIAGE FESTIVAL.
BY MRS. AbDY.


..Fcstives arc fit for what is happily concluded
q. tho commencement they but waste the force
aud zea! which should inspire us. Of all festives
the marriage festival appears the most unsuitable
, caluincss, humility, and silent hope, beht no
ceremony more than th;s."-G0>the.
La iy, tiny marriage bells arc ringing.
And all around thee speaks Of testal m!ssh,
The loss of one so good and t,i' is bringing,
Methinks strange sadncS to he. !ather's hearth;
Vet thou amid the tllrong art pens!Te sitting,
And well know these rcvc!S cloud thy oi1Ss'
And that thou doelnast such triumph un5c!;t!ng,
\ solemn and important rite like this
These low'sy w1caths, these sounds OF cXu!ta'lon'
Some ,ictu.'s glorious deeds might celebrate,
Br,. thou canst claim 10 proud congratulations,
Unt,cd, unceytain is thy future fate;
No, would truc friends brilliant spell! cast o'er
thee,
Giving to grlhoods dreams delusivc scope,
Da. rather bid thee view the sceuc before :hce
With calm humility and silent hope.
Thine is path by shares and tolls attended,
Yet, lady, III thy prudence I confdc,
Thou art not by mere moral aid betriended,
Prayer is thy stay, and Providence thy guide;
And should thy coming years with Ills be laden,
Thou safely may'st abide the storms OF life,
lsthe meek virtues Of the Christian maiden
Shine forth as brightly in the Christian wife.

METHoDIsM AND CALy1NIsM.-The Ohio

Christian InteIligencer says,
Recent Methodsm is nearer Calvinism,'
and more Scripturai than the gross Pelagiau-
ism which once resounded in many Methodist
pupits, and which therefore passed currently
among men for the received doctrines Of the
Methodist Church."
10 this the Western Christian Advocate,
in an article written in most excellent spir.
1t, replies:
The time never was IN which Pelagian-
ism .esounded in Nlethodis:s puipits. When;
ever any individual preached Pelagianism III

as soon as church process could effect It.

Whatever advances Methodism and GAVIN
ism, as to doctrines, have made towards each
other, every step has been taken by; Calvin
ism; because Methodism believes and teach.
es the same doctrines now that she always
did, without addition or subtraction, amend
ment or modification"
The truth, no doubt, is that both Methodlsm
and Calvilism are now what they always
have been; but many on each side, understand
each other better now than formerly. we
mean true Calrinism, and no: the modern
compound of Calyinism and Pelaglanism
spreading in some ofthe CalslaIstic chnrcnes.

DIABETES.

Although this is not disease OF very ..e.

The prominent and distinctive symptom c.
the disease is an excessive discharge OF urine.
It's not our purpose to enter upon any dis
cussion of its causes or varieties. Such dis
cussion would be useless to the common read
es. The treatment should be commenced
with dose of calomel; say for an adult l5
grains. II this does not operate it may be fol.
lowed by a moderate dose OF castor oil. Il
the secretion Of bile IS of deep green color
repeat the colonel every day os two, as long
as this continues to be the case. The most
suitable time for taking the calomel is at before
retiring to bed. After discontinuing the cal.
omel, let the patient take from II to 10 drops
of EHror Of Viriol two or three times daily in
halfa gill or more ofwater. This commonly
effects a cure in one week or less time when
used in the early stage CT the disease. If i:
should not, take one grain ofopiuu, or Is drops
of laudanum, at bed time, 70. few nights
continuing the Eixor Of vit:io!. If this does
not effect a cure, apply to physician without
delay. Fruits and especially wate-mellons
should be avoided; SO should coffee and tea.
The diet should consist in considerable de-
gree. OF fresh animal food, say beef venison,
mutton, chicken sc. The El:xos OF vitrlo'
should be sucked through z quill to keep it
from the teeth, and the mouth should be r:nsed
Immediately after swallowingit.
The non-professional reader should bear II
mind that the disease consists in an ercessirs,
and not merely frequent discharge Of urine.
