The Bible.

How comes it that little volumn, COM
posed by humble men in rude age, when
art and science were but in their childhood,
has exerted more influence on the human
mind and on the social system than all
other books put together! Whence comes
it that this book has achieved such mar
vellous changes in the opinions of man.
kind-bas banshed idol worship-has
abolished infanticide-has put down po-
ligamy and exalted the condition of wo-
man-rased the standard of public NOR
ality-created for families that blessed
thing, christian home-and caused it's
other triumps by causing benevolent in
stitutions, open and expressive, to spring
up with the wand of enchantment! What
sort of book is this, that even the winds
and waves of human passions obey it!
What other engine of social improvement
has operated so long, and yet lost none of
its virtues. Since itappeared many boast
ed plans of ameloration have been tried
and failed-many codes Of jurisprudence
have arisen, and run their course and ex-
pired.
Empire after empire have been launch
ed on the tide OF time; and gone down,
leaving no trace upon the waters. But
this book is still going about doing good,
saving society with its holy principles;
cheering the sorrowful with its sweet con-
ISOLATION; strengthening the temper; en-
couraging the penitent, calming the trou-
bled spirit, and smoothing the pillow of
death. Can such book be the offspring
of human genius! Does not the vastness
Of its effects demonstrate the power to be
of God!

Dissolution Of the Union.

DR.. GEORGE w. BETHUNE, one of the
most talented and eloquent Iiivines in the
country, recently delived an address at
Cambridge, Mass, from which the follow
ing beautiful remarks are extracted:
.'Suppose for one melancholy moment,
that this beautiful economy OF exchange
was broken up-that the Western valleys
were shut out from the sea by adverse gov.
ernments-that those on the coast were
hemmed in to their own narrow limits by
hostile forts along the mountain ridges
that between the north and the South there
was neither commercial nor moral SYM
pathy-that at every State line passports
were demanded and tariff set-we must
not shrink from describing the terrible con-
sequences; the stagnation of trade: the 81.
lence of brotherly counsel; the constant
feuds; the Cain like, exterminating wars:
the overthrow of law by military dictators;
the utter ruin of all that makes us pros
porous at home and respected abroad; the
sure catastrophe, moral and national
death! 0 that those, who for any reason.
talk lightly of dissolving the Union, would
consider the immensely greater evils such
a rupture would inevitably cause, the aw-
ful guilt it would bring upon themselves!
Whatever may be the cant of words, no
lover of law could ever kndle the torch of
such incendiarism, no lover Of peace pro-
woke such a fratricidal slaughter, no lover
Of freedom plot for such general slavery,
no lover of God and man undermine the
eminent watch-tower whose light is now
shedding over the world such bright prom
ise of universal brotherhood. Were it
possible that America could produce such
a diabolcal monster, and the malignant
Erostratus could be successful loud, bit
ter, heaven compelling cry would 60 up
from all the earth, swelled by generation
after generation, until the final fires shall
have swept to hell all traces OF human
crimes: Anathema! AnathcmaU MARIANA

Citv Of Moscow.

The city Of Moscow, rendered famous
by Napoleon's celebrated expedition, was
built in the 18th century, and now con.
| tains 100000 inhabitants. 1t is situated
in great valley, and the houses are most
ly built Of wood, with roofs of sheet iron
In the centre of the city stands the walled
hill of Kremlin, which is surrounded by a
brick wall 50 to rs feet high, and mile
and a half in circumference. Within
these limits are several public buildings.
The popular opinion that the Kremlin is a
palace, is erroneous. 1t is simply, as its
name signifies, walled enclosure, and
was built as defence against domestic
insurrection. 1t could no more be blown
up by powder than could great hill. In
the church which stands within its limits is
bell weighing 100000 lbs., but this is
eclipsed by the great bell which stands at
the foot ofthe tower. This is 19 feet high,
66 feet in circumference, 18 inches thick,
and weighs 400, 900 pounds avoirdupois.
A large piece has been broken out Of it,
and it is sometimes used as chapel
Around the city stretches public garden
or Boulevard, and outside Of this wall of
turf 80 or 10 feet in height. Three hum
dred churches, each with five or six domes,
are scattered throughout the city. The
domes arepear shaped, and are surmount-
ed by spire and cross, with the cres-
cent beneath it. They are painted some-
times brown, and often bright blue color,
with large spangles Of gold. AS there are
from 1900 to 1000 domes in the city, the
effect when the sun is shining upon them,
is extremely brilliant. About nine-tenths
of the city was burnt by the Russians,
when they evacuated it in l812.-Albany

: A GREAT MAN.-The highest, noblest
conception we have Of a great man, is one
who understands the power of his own
soul, and is continually exerting that pow
er for the promotion Of good; is one who
cherishes deep and solemn sense of the
saoredness of duty, and never hesitates to
discharge that duty, be the consequences
ever so injurious to his interests; is one
who in matters OF religion lends nought
but deaf ear to the loud voice of sects,
nought but blind eye to all party creeds,
but scans the works Of nature, the revela-
tons in scripture, the deep yearnings Of
the human soul; is one who gives all truth
welcome how much soever it may con-
flict with his pride; is one who is ever ready
to execute inhexible justice, how much
soever it may affect his interests; is one
who rebukes all evil however high the
transgressor stands; is one whose sympa-
thies always espouse the cause of the OPP
pressed, the down-trodden and injured.

A loud burst of applause from the lips
of the soldiers followed this announcement.
Not one Of them but loved and respected
their comrade. The next moment, ere
they could press around to congratulate
the supposed Louis, De Merville had
eagerly drawn the bewildered Henriette
through the crowd, back to the cell from
which she had emerged but few moments
before. -o -.slss5 .l.ss., fl.-...
b "Resume your dress again, mademoi-
selle, hurriedly whispered he. "Lose no

Henriette was like one in dream, but
CLEAN of delicious hope thrilled her soul;
she felt the dawnings Of happiness break
upon herheart. Soon again resuming her
pretty rustic habiliments, DE Merville re.
appeared and once again she trod the au-
dience room of the emperor. Lifting her
eyes from the ground as the lofty door
swung open she beheld Louis. An excla-
nation Of Joy burst from the lips of both
as, regardless of others. they rushed into
each others arms.
Napoleon stepped forward. "Louis
Delamarre," said he, "you have just heard
from my lips the tale of this lovely girls
devotion and courage. Do you love her
as she deserves?"

proudly. g Ea5 II ~.

T. A charming blush suffused the cheek Of
the beautiful girl as she received the purse
from the hand of the empress.

Immortality Of Man.

Why isit that the rainbow and the cloud
come over us with beauty that is not of
earth, and then pass away, and cause us
to muse on their faded lovelinessl Why is
it that the stars, which hold their festivals
around the midnight throne, are set above
our limited faculties, forever mocking us
with unapproachable glory! And why is
it that bright forms of human beauty are
presented to our view and then taken from
us, leaving the thousand streams of our
affections to flow back in an Alpine tor
rent upon our heart! We are born for a
higher destiny than that of earth. There
is realm where the rainbow never fades,
where the stars will be spread out before
US like islands that slumber on the ocean
and where the beautiful beings that now
pass before us like visions will stay in our
presence forever.-Prentice.

hut with her companions, where they main
tain an obstinate siege before they con-
clude to surrender.
In Brammuk, the bride comes to the hut
Of her husband with a calabash of water,
with which she washes his feet, and wipes
them with her mantle.
In Congo, the negroes take their wives
for year on trial, and ifat the end ofthat
time they are satisfied, the wedding is cele-
brafed with feast. The missionaries en-
deavor to abolish this custom, without sue
cess; the mothers declaring that they would
not risk the happiness of their daughters
by urging them to an indissoluble union
with persons with whose tempers and hab-
its they were unacquanted. sta
In Abysinia, there is no form of mar
riage ceremony. Parties live together as
long as they choose, and these connec-
tons are dissolved and renewed as often
as the parties may think proper.
African princes have an unpleasant
way of furnishing dowries for their daught-
ers. When the Sultan of Mandara mar
ried his daughter to an Arab Sheikh, the
nuptials were celebrated by great Slave
hunt among the mountains. when after a
dreadful struggle, three thousand captives,
by their tears and bondage, furnished out
the materials Of a magnificent marriage
festival .ia
In Dahomey, all the unmarried females
throughout the kingdom, are considered
property of the sovereign. Once year
they are brought before him, he selects the
most engaging for himself. and sells the
rest at high prices to his subjects. No
choice is allowed the purchaser. He pays
twenty thousand cowries, and receives
such wife as the king chooses to award
him, being obliged to appear satisfied with
the selection, whatever may be her pros
pect or condition. This monarch has
three wives, but the king of Ashantee has
exactly three thousand and thirty-three
and the safety of his country is supposed
to depend upon his keeping up this mys
teal number.

Moral Reflections.

! AS the corn-field often threatened with
danger, and exposed to the rude visitations
OF the tempestis yet preserved in safety to
yield its rich stores to the husbandman; so
the human mind, visited by affliction and
shaken by the storms of adversely, still
bears up against the blast, and is strength
ened and purified by the fierce contention
In the moments of sorrow, when care and
trouble oppress us, our knowledge, faith
and humility are increased and confirmed;
for though like the tender stalk of corn,
we bend while the blast sweeps over us, the
compassionating hand of God gently rails.
es and consoles our bleeding hearts.
The time Of harvest approaches, the
corn ripens, the suns warm rays and soft
showers descend to hasten its maturity.
May we also, as each succeeding day
brings us nearer to our end, become more
mature in all good, and prepare to be gath
cred unto our fathers in eternal glory.-
Whatever be our situation in this state of
existence, whether cheered by prosperity.
or darkened with impending evils, NAV all
our actions tend to the glory of God, and
the promonon OF pletv.
As those stalks which bear the largest
and finest ears of corn bend beneath their
treasure, whilst those which are poor and
light, stand erect and overlook the fie d, so
we may observe men, vain and presump-
tious, without knowledge and virtue proud
ly hold up their heads, and contemptuous.
ly look down upon those whom religion
teaches to be humble, and whose learning
has estimated the limits of human attain.
ment and the insignifcance of vanity.
All the corn which is to be reaped is not
equally good; tares and weeds are mixed
with it, and so with men, they blend to-
gether both good and bad qualities; and
their natural corruption often retards their
progress in virtue. The dissipated and
the wicked by their pernicious examples,
often sow tares in the field, where none
but good seed ought to grow. The mas
ter Of the field permits them to remain for
a season, and patiently waits the arrival
of the harvest, before he exercises that i'm
partial judgment which separates the good
from the bad. e.
The sickle mows down the corn, and
the fruits of the earth are ioyfully gather
ed. Death levels with the dust the rich and
the poor, the high and the low, the wicked
and the righteous; and happy will be the
hour in which those who have preferred the
pure light of religion to the delusions of
error are received into regions of glory
and numbered among the spirits of just
men made perfect. They will gratefully
remember the storms, the dangers, the
trials and Affections through which they
have been preserved, and they will Joy
fully unite with angels in gloryying the
God of Heaven.
