TIE DEAD SEA.

In Worcester's Sketches of the Earth and its In
habitans is an interesting account Of the dead Sea
in Palestine or the Holy Land
"This lake was anclently called the Sea Of Sodom
and the Salt Sea. 1t lies in the southern part of Pal
estine, and is 60 or 70 miles in length, and 10 or Is
in breadth 1t is bordered on the east, south and
west, by lofty hills, having rugged and rghtfu preci-
pieces; on the north is the plan of Jerico through
which it receives the Jordan. 1t receives also sew
eral smaller streams, but has no visible outlet The
water is clear and limpid, but uncommonly salt, and
bitter; and of greater specific gravity than any
other hitherto discovered The proportion of the
weight of the salts, held in solution to the whole
weight of the water, is about as one fourth. Frag

of the water 'The first thing did on alightng,'
says Chataubrand was to walk into the lake up to
my knees, and taste of the water I found it i'm
possible to keep it in my mouth. It far exceeds that
of the sea in saness and produces upon the lips the
effect of a strong solution of alum. Before my boots

Moral and Religious.

GENERAL RULES OF CONDUCT.
1. Never make the forms Of religion in others the
subject Of ridcue. True religious feeling may be
expressed in different forms, and come with accep-
lance before God. The form is very much subject
of education or habit--the language of the
heart "What is the chaff to the wheat, saith the
Lord ,"
g. Never mock at the infrmties of others: rather,
let them excite your commsseration and gratitude
Who made you to differl Dereliction of duty, not
misfortune, constitute crime
8. Never exult over the msfortunes of others
not even Of your enemies. Rejoice in the triumphs
of JUSTICE but retain your pity for the meanest sim
ner. Is he not man, and still susceptible OF reior-
nation Does not God bear with him : And
should not WEI
A. Envy not others their prosperity. This is the
mark of a little mind. While we fail of the objects
we aim at we should rejoice at tho of others
s. Let your aims be high; this will excite to effort
6. Be moderate in your expectations: this will pre-
pare you for defeat.
Z. Never despair. How often has the last struggle
brought relief Ifthere be but one chance of success
in thousand, it is worth thousand times too much
TO be thrown away.
8. Consider how many less favored than you
are. IF you cannot gain the heights, be satisfied
with mediocrity, which is always the safest, less
subject to changes, and of moro equal temperature
8. Bear yourself humbly in prosperity proud
spirit is the product of native
10. Maintain a thankful temper 'sWhat hast
thou, which thou hast not receved?'
IL. Cultivate cheerful temper 1t will be like
the meridian sun to the soul. Objects receive their
complexion from the medium thro' which we per-
ceive them. Mountains rise TO unreal height in
the darkness The diamond borrows a thousand
new brilants from the sunbeam. So adversely bears
with oppression, and mercies shine more brightly, on
o. thankful and cheerful man. GA cheerful temper is
the clear blue sky of the soul''
IL. Cherish the conviction Of an overriding Provi
dence. This will correct capricous temper. The
is not always to the swift, nor tho battle to the
strong, nor riches TO Of understanding Time
and chance happen to all. The lot is cast into the
lap the whole dsposng thereof is of the Lord. lie
is our common Father-and like as a father pteth
his children, so the Lord pteth them that fear him.
Would we learn his will, we must study the lessons
Of his providence as well of his word.-London
