TIE PUSEYITES.

we ma IN 'IIayWard 5 Book OF Rell-
giens," the following account of the Pu
seyites, sect, whose writings have at
tracted considerable attention in Eng
land: ". Spectator.
This school of theology, which has be-
come famous both in Engan and abroad,
had its orig at Oxford, about A. d.
1888. Some distinguished members of
the university thought that the Church
Ct England was in an alarming position,
and that iIreligious principles and false
doctrines had been admitted into the
measures of the government Of the coun-
try on large scale. 10 check the pro-
gress of these supposed errors and mis-
chievnus practices they publish sereis
of 'tTracts for the Times" on such sub
.Iects as the constitution of the church
the authority of its ministers; refutations
of the errors Of Romanism, and how to
oppose it, &c.
The, Puseyites strenuousIy assert the
apostolical succession-in other words,
that the clergy derive their power from
the apostles, through. episcopal ordination
In regard to church pcli,y, they main
tain that the church is an empire and
government of its own--a government
appointed by God and that its laws, as
they gre to be found in the Book of Com
mon Prayer. ought to be implicitly obey
ed. They deplecate the neglect Of the
daily service, the Dissertation Of festivals
and the scanty admins tration ct the eu-
.charist.
With respect to sacraments, the Pu-
seyites hold that they are not subjects Of
discussion, or for speculation, but ''high
mysterious, awful Christian privileges
to be felt, rcvcIenccd, embraced, real
lied, acted"
With respect TO church authority, they
hold that human tradition has ne place in
revelation; that 10 individuals since the
apostles can be regarded as expositors of
the will Of Christ; that the unanimous
witness of Christendom, as to the teach
ing of the apostles, is the only and fully
sufficient guarantee of the whole revealed
faith, and that we do possess historically
such Il guarantee in the remains of the
primitive church.
he Puseyites lnculcate the necessity
Of dispensing religious truth with eau
ton and reverence, not throwing it pro-
| miscuously before minds i'll suited TO re-
ceive it.
A characteristic feature Of the Oxford
school Of theology, is its opposition To
what is called the "popular religionlsm
of the day" The masters Of the school
! grieve that men are sent from the seat OF
! their education with the belief that they
are TO think, not read; judge rather than
| learn, and look to their own minds for
ruth, rather than to some permanent ex-
terna standard.
! At the head of this school are DR.. pu-
sey, Regius Professor Of Hebrew, and
Canon oil Christ Church; Rev. j. Keble
Professor Of Poetry; Rev. J. IL. New
man, Rev. j. Williams, and Rev. w
Sewall, Professor of Moral Philosophy

A CELESTIAL REvERIE.-lherc comes,
to the thoughtful and contempIa'isc man,
a peculiar sense Of serene majesty, when
twilight falls upon the earth in sprng-time.
The heart is then devout worshlpper in

and solemn air; and faint mellow beams,
fading every moment, steal from the staln-
ed windows Of the west, as one by one the

BAALBEc.-Beyond the regions Of Leb-
anon are still to be seen the remains OF the
Temple Of the Sun, known by the dweliers
in that region only, by the PhGniclan name
Of Baalbec, or house of Baal, the chief OF
their idol gods, from which is derived Bel
and Beus, all signifying the sun. After
the PhGnicians ceased TO dwell in the land
and the Greeks took possession. this name
was changed to Heiiopolis, which in the
Greek language has the same meaning as
Baalbec in the PhDnician.
This temple, unlike the immense piles
Of Egyptian architecture, exhibits the SIKH
and grace of the COrinthl1n order, 'ogeth-
er with its massivencss; and although
large portion OF it's dlIapdaled, still enough
remains to convey some idea OF lis former
magniicence. Its length was, originally
eight hundred, and its width five hundred
feet and it was ca oable of holding sixty
thousand worShipers in lis open court at
once. There are three Of the stones now
lying together along the side Of the build
ing, which may serve to convey to the
mind some idea Of the maSsiveness OF this
edifcc. These single stones, which were
Iul iIOIu litC iiOOI ibSo itt' i'SS3 o'N
each eighty eight feet long; sixteen feet
high, and twelve feet in thickness their
corners are still sharp, although so many
years have fled by since they were hewn,
and the surfaces OF these monSlrous blocks
Of stone are so smooth that they are but
placed one upon another without mortar or
cement, and their own weight serves to
keep them from being removed from their
places. The roof OF this temple was built
in the same solid manner with the other
portions, and to give some idea O, the
strength of this rootthe following fact will
be sufficient: During the wars OF the cru
sades, this temple was one OF the strong
holds of the SaracenS, and upon the root
they built fort, the wall of which were
twenty feet in thickness and within this fort
were garrisoned fifteen thousand soldiers,
together with all the utensils Of war and
provision, which, taken all together, must
have amounted to weight seeming y SUI
ticlent to crush any building OF which we
can form any idea whatever; but such was
the structure Of this temple, that lis root.
resting upon pillars Of ten and Il half feet
diameter, was capable Of supporting this
immense weight. The mention OF the
name of Balbec ia connection with Palmy-
ra, has given rise to the idea in the minds
Of many, that these were two cities stua-
ted near each other, and like Tyre and
Sidon, sharing in each others interests
and identified by similar conditions; but
this idea is far from being correct, for
while Baalbec is but solitary temple, Pal
myra is a magnificent city situated at a
distance 10 the desert.

THE CENTURY PLANT.

| We learn with great pleasure that our
cnterprising friend. Bernard Duke, has in
! his possession the largest specimen of the
Century Plant, or One Hundred Year
FIowcring Aloe, (Agara Americana) in
America. While the report of the rarity
the plant now shooting up lis flower stem,
at the Patroon's green houses, in Albany,
| has been exciting the establishment OF all
America, Mr.. Duke has quietly suffered
his douby splendid specimen to pass on 10
to forescencc without comment, COM
pleteIy stealing a march on our good cit-
zens, who would have overrun his extern
sive grounds to witness this wonderful pro-
duction OF nature. The plant, which is
over 80 feet in circumference, is now in
full perfection, the flower stem being up
wards Of 20 feet in height, and covered on
every branch with thousands Of rich deep
yellow blossoms. Its. appearance is singu-
lar, grand and CURIOUS, and will no doubt
excite the establishment of the " hole of the
fashion and beauty of our city.
But three specimens of the Agava as yet
have lowered in America, the first of
which. small plant, blossomed on the
grounds of VIM. Hamilton Esq, at the
oodIands. where it was visited by up
wards Of 20, 600 persons; and the second,
which doomed at Lemon Hill, was exhibit
ted in Philadelphia for the benefit Of the
Philadelphia Orphans Asylum, to about
80, 900 visitors. The present plant, which
will be exhibited at the Masonic Hall is
now % years Of age, and was originally
grown by the same gentleman at his con-
servatories. 1t has been since his death
the property of the Mcmahon family, and
is now in the hands of Mr.. Duke. An op-
portunuy TO view the Aloe seldom occurs,
and as there are no sufficiently large plants
in the country to bloom, will not occur a
gain the present century. Mr. Duke will
realize a large sum from the singular freak
of nature which has brought this plant into
perfection. 1t dies Immediately after rs
! horescence is terminated. Phi Ing.
