eyes, full of elevated thought fixed firmly
upon the chamberlain-.he whole figure
expressive of majesty of soul, and lofty re-
solve mingled with sweet gentleness, burst
with sudden surprise upon Illegal, that he
felt she must be chosen of the king, and
guided by superior power, he bent his knee
as if IN presence of a queen. Mordecai
watched with rapture the effect oil her
charms, and giving her in Hebrew a last
charge to conceal her religion, and stand
firm III the cause of the Lord to which she
was called, he threw the veil again over
her, and consigned her to the hands OF the
Lord Chamberlain. Placed IN the wo-
mems court, Esther with the other maldens,
underwent the purticatioa required by the
king six months with the oil OF myrrh,
and six months with sweet odors. The
heart of Illegal was turned by the Lord to-
wards the gentle Esther and he placed her
in the richest rooms, gave her seven atten-
dants, and rendered her every kindness aud
advantage. To him, Esther spoke IN iavor
of Mordecai, who in consequence, received
the post ofporter to the kings gate. ms
gave him access to the palace, and he walk
ed every day before the womens court to
obtain from the slave information OF his
| cherished niece. The time of purlicatIon
over, each maiden was led by turns INTO
the presence of Ataxerxes. Many lovely
maiden was there of every nation. Bright

by's sandy plans-from Babylon, and Nm
eveh and Echatan-gay in attire, and sni-
ling with hope they went forth, but retnrn-
ed their far brows clouded with the chill
inc consciousness they had not won the
king. Esther's turn came at last, and as
clad in rich garments, she stood IN her ra-
diant and peerless beauty, awaiting to be
conducted to the monarch, the assembled
candidates knew their hopes for the throne
was over.
The eunuch arrived and gazed with de-
licht upon hisbeauteous charge Tor she had
SO won upon him by her gentle loneliness,
that he felt a ather's interest In Der. he
took her small white hand in his, and led
her into the presence of ArtaXerxes. Like
the evening star she bcamed upon the king,
all brlliancy ard softness. The monarch
raised her as ste knelt before him. "Bring
hither no moremaiGens, Illegal" he said,
gazing with ecs'acy upon the lovely Esther
this is my eueen-earth can give no
fairer !"
The important news now soon flew over
the palace and city. Esther was chosen
queen, and the royal crown placed upon
her head. Moidecai retired to his humble
dwelling and spent the day IN prayer and
thanks giving to God for his signal lavof'

This is the true doctrine and we re-
joice that our friend of the Banner advan-
ces this idea, at this time. We agree with
the Banaer, that neither the Huntress or
Vanderbilt, are suitable boats to ply on
this route, and that the great mass of the
travelling community will not be satisfied
until an arrangement Of this nature, is
brought about.
Both of the boats alluded TO, are very
good and even elegant packets in smooth
water and by daylight. But as for being
positively safe. to ply between here and
Boston, any person, acquainted with the
route and the boats must be aware, is moi
the case. BY good management, and good

Ataxerxes relgned, written IN the various
languages of many nations there congrega-
ted. that Vashti the Queen oil Persia was
repudiated for refusing to comply with the
kings commands. 1t further declared that,
under penalty of the like fate, all women
are commanded to obey their husbands, that
eyery man might rule in his own house.
This decree was enrolled among the
laws of the Modes and Persans that were
voted unaltcrabIe. TWAS further comman-
ded that the fairest maidens Of the land
should be brought to the palace of Artax-
erxes. in Susa, that the king might choose
