SELECT SCHoOL.-A Select School will be O opened in this city on about the 1st October next, under the of the Rev. s. WRIGHT and LADY, in the building on Government St., formerly occupied by MT. Kemble.
 The number of pupils will be limited to forty, and under circumstances will there be a departure from this rule. No efforts will be wanting to make the institution an elevated school of intellectual dis cipline, sound learning and moral Ilture and the same time to furnish the best facilities for an orna- mental and polite education. Lessons will be given the guitar, piano and harp by Mrs. Wright, and in the other branches of the ornamental department by lady who has been for several years highly ap- proved teacher in the celebrated Troy Female Sem mary.
 Vocal music will be taught to the school according to the system of Mir. Lowell Mason, of Boston, with out additional charge.
 The academic will consist of two consecutive ses- sions, and thus afford opportunity to the pupils be absent from the city during the sickly sum- months, without interruption to their course of study.
 No scholar will be received who cannot read well, and those somewhat advanced will be greatly pre- ferred. Rates of tuition made known at the com mencement of the School.

A PRACTICAL ARGUMENT.

A writer in the Religious Herald, who
has been for nearlyten years a minister
in the Methodist Episcopal church, after
giving the reasons which have induced
him to change his views on the subject of
baptism, and unite with Baptist church;
referring 10 the nature of the debate be-
tween those who maintain that nothing is
baptism but immersion on profession OF
faith, and those who plead for the validity
Of pouring and sprinkling in infancy as
substitute, closes by introducing the fol-
lowing Illustration :--Cb. Waterman.

When B went to make payment to A, and

country. | could not, were | never to
hear or read another syllable on the SUBJ
Ject But even here we are reminded Of
it. Every European who strolls through
these distant regions, for curiosity, for
honor, or for gain, keenly goads US by
tauntingly, but justly, pointing 10 Amer
lean Slavery, that foal blot of inconsis-
tcncy which so mars the escutcheon of
our Republican glory. The condition Of
the HISTORIAN Christians, too, for the sal
vatlon Of whom we are more particularly
laboring, is such as often to remind US of
the slaves in America. They are trodden
down to the dust by their Mohammedan
masters, not for difference of color, but for
bearing the name of Christ. 1t is truly
affecting TO witness their degradation, and
often suferings. There is however, bat

property to some extent-mav receive
missionaries to instruct him-may send
his children to school-enjoys the sanciu-
airy of his home inviolate, and feels and
acts as though ne thought himself man.
Yes though l blush, and my heart sinks
within me at the acknowledgment, yet
truth and candor compel me TO say, that

dark realms of Mohammedan Gespotism,

Icomparison with the rigors and abomina-
ltione of that under which millions oil

arrangements OF this place appeared some
thing like our northern horse markets,
having sheds, or barns, in the rear of a
public house, where alcohol was handy

to dance and jump, cursing and swearir g
