HUMAN SACRIFICES.

Is it not astonishing-ast0nishingl to see
how absolutely the influence of pre-conceiv-
ed opinion and accustomed habits Of thought
can subiugate and nullify reason, the faculty
that distinguishes men from brutesl
Never in my whole experience as a Chris
tian minister, have | been more impressed
with this truth than in my conversation this
morning with a New Zealand chief, whose
amiable disposition, acute mind and remark
able facility in acquiring our language and
adapting himself TO our manners, have indu-
ced the captain of one of our merchant ships
to indulge his love of novelty by giving him
a free passage 10 this country.
Captain III. who has long been an esteem
ed member of my congregation, and whose
voyages generally furnish some accession to
my little cabinet Of curiosities, had this time
brought me some cuTiously carved spears,
paddles, and pa~too-patoos, and a perfectly
preserved tatooed human head from New
Zealand; and knowing how much it would
crafty me to see a native of that heather and
savage island, he brought Tapio, and left him
in my study, promising to call for him when
he had finished some business with my next
neighbOrs.
l was delighted with the opportunity Of
learning, from such unquestionable authority,
the truth respecting the manners, customs,
and religion of New Zealand, and especially
respecting the horrible practice of human sa-
%criice, which is said still to prevail in that
country. Indeed my eagerness upon the last
mentioned point was such, that it formed the
first topic of my inquiries, after such common
place observations as were calculated 10 put
him at ease in his new position. lie show
ed no reluctance 10 speak upon the subject,

FREEDOMS INVITATION.
AN ODE FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Floating through Columhia's sky,
Freedoms banners wave on high,
While the nations gathering round,
Heard her trumpet-dccents sound:-
Come, yo people, long oppressed,
Underneath my banners restj
From the tyranny of kings
Seek the refuge Freedom brings.
.Dospots, with their iron tread,
Europe's soil have o%versprcad
In the regions of the West,
| have found a place of rest.
ample is my Western home,
Hither let the people come.
Oh, why will we longer stay,
Crushed beneath a tyrants sway?'
Monarchs trembled while she spoke;
Men their CALLING letters broke,
Babe the land of slaves farewell, CD
Sought where FREEDOM reigns to dwell.
THE SLAVES DECLARATION.
AN EVERY DAY oDE.
Hank upon Columbia's air
Cries of anguish and despair,
While the nations gathering round
Listen to the piteous sound.
"Come not here, though we have born
Tyranny, and hate, and scorn,
Better to endure the worst
Than to seek this land accurst.
Europe's tyrants may not dare
TO infict the wrongs we bear,
For Columbia's children bring
Nought to us but suffering.
Freedom here is but a sound,
Chains, and whips, and yokes abound;
Yonder ~spangled banner wave
Over tyrants and their slaves"
Hell is pleased and Devils laugh,
And their fiery p%otions quaif,
Boosting Mey have never sold
Any brother imp for gold.

PICTURE OF HEALTH.


EH EALTH is chaterised in an individual by
n N the absence Of all pain, suffering or affection
IN any part OF his bo'y by the free and regular eN
erclsv of his functions without any exception
they consist in having a good appetite at mea
times, an easy digestion, free excavations, wllhou
ooseCess or costivencss at least once in every TWEEN
y-iour hours, and without heat,dlyncss, or burning
at the passage the free issue of the water uithOu
acrimony or burning, and without a reddish sedi
ment which is always a sign of present or an ap
preaching pain; quiet sleep without agitation o
troublesome dreams; no taste of bile or other bat
taste in the mouth upon rising in the morning; M
sourness or disagrecablc rising of the stomach;
clean tongue; sweet breath; no itching, pimples o
spots on the skin; no piles; no burning heat upor
any part OF the body; no excessive thirst when un
exposed to labor or other known cause; no inter
ruption TO any natural evacuation, nor pain at thci
periodical return.
Where the state of the system does not harmon

greatest importance that no tmu be lost IN sending

All who wish to preserve their health, all who

croachments of disease WI h night send them pre-
maturely to the grave, wn without hesitation, have
recourse to the Brandreh Pills, when the state o

Those who live in a country where contagious OF
