Each one tries to have an interest dlstinc,

all clash; and hence the eternal strites and

around them are wrong; but their stru g
giles amount 10 about as much as the tioun.
derings of fish out of water. And their
wants and longings are about as definite
as those Of the fish. But Crisis IS al

Iph'ed. You smile, suppose, but how
delightful Tryi. Just accustom your
children to il, at all seasons of the year,
and in a cold room, and see il they do
not become fond Of it. Continue the
practice Of washing them purely in cold
water every day in the year as soon as
thew are out ofbed. and it will ere long
become too grateful to be omitted, when
they are too old to require your particu-
lar attention. For myself, | would al
most as soon DRINK tumbler Of luke
warm water, as even in the month OF
January, to use the same temperature
ia. washing or bathing, ! mean SO long
as am in health. II is altogether too
qualmish. And cannot help plying
those pale faced half animated little dolls,
that are doomed to SILVER over hot fire,

Who is not friend Of free discussion 2
No one Will acknowledge he is not. But
what proof have we, except their word,
that vast majority ofthe members of the
churches Of Christ, so called, and the min
isiers of these churches almost without ex-
ceplion, are friendly to free discussion
We have no proof whatever, besides. and
in many instances not even this, for have
frequently been told by ministers and peo-
pie, that discussions upon the doctrines Of
Christianity were Improbable and de-
siructive Of spiritual religion. This, all
know to be true. But do The professed
followers Of Christ in refusing, themselves,
10 inquire and discusss upon the doctrines
Of religion. and asfar rs possible kee ping
others from investigation, agree with HIM
whom they call Lord and Masterl Ger
tainly not. Did not Christ accuse some
of not coming to the light because their
deeds were evil and were unwilling to have
them known and reproved2 He also
taught that those who bad the truth, did
not fear to come 70 the light, nor TO have
their deeds made manifest All profess 10
haveconidence in Truth. Then why this
shrinking from investigation and discus.
sion2 IL person firmly believes he is right
Is is not afraid to be questioned and will
be willing to give the reasons of his belief
and hope TO convince all who hear him o.
their soundness. No one can be justified
for protesting and preaching what be doe:
not really and nationally believe 10 be true
No Universalist preacher fears 10 the leas
10 enter the ranks Of discussion with hi:
partiaiist brethren. however learned OF
able bis oppOuen. may be. But why
this shrinking on the part ofthe Orthodox
Is !: not because they are satisfied they car
not maintain their cause before the pub
lic7 Manifestlyit is so.
The more minds 10 which the truth cal
be shown. the better, and il il is shown il
contrast with error. the deeper the impress
sion it will make. And for the purpose 0
eliciling inquiry I would recommend ,ha
public, oral discussions be held. Let an.
minisier.or lay member ofaoy religious de
nomination 10 the state appoint time. with
in three months. and place. and vii
meet him. or provide some one,ant discus
che following question; Is he Bible an
the various systems Of religions based OF

Sunbury Female Seminary.

We neglected last week TO notice the public ex.
animation Of the scholars Of the Female Seminary
Of this place, under the charge Of the Misses Brooke.
The exercises gave very general satisfaction to those
present. The progress which the young ladies
appear to have made in their studies. affords the
very best evidence Of the care and attention which
ihe Misses Brooke have bestowed in the manage
ment Of the Institution over which they preside.
With the r"sji ofrhe young Ia les (a branch often
ncg'ected) we were particularly pleased. The ex-
ercises in history, philosophy and geology were also
highly credrsble. number Of essays written
upon various subjects, were much admired. Some
Of them for the elegance of thei, composition, and
others for the practical good sense they contsined
TIE advantages Of the present system Of education,
with the great Improvement in school books, can
only be properly appreciated by those, who, under
the old system, were accustomed 10 study Murray's
Grammar two or three years, without knowing that
such a thing as parsing wOs a necessary exercise

Another Fight in the legislature.

There has been another disgrsceful fgh, in the
c' amber Of the House of Representative, which
came very near having fatal termination. Let

The scenes Of the present session will enable Penn

disposed portion of the members, we hope, will at
who would draw deadly weapon at such time,
and on such an occasion
The alrray was occssioncd hy the appearance Of
the following article, III the State Capitol G"Ze'te:
"You shall both have office in the Custom House,
If you vote for The Tyler candidate for State Prin.

cessary to state, that the first days trial in the
