II. Another argument in favor of admitting
slavery into the church, and holding fellowship
with those who practice it, is drawn from the in
structions which the Apostles in their various
epistles to the churches gave to servants, and
masters.
The fact of the general prevalence of slavery
throughout the Roman empire in the days of the
apostles is universally admitted And equally
certain it is that the millions thus subjected to
cruel servitude, for it was cruel in the extreme,
had been derived not from Africa particularly,
but from the various nations which the Romans
had subjugated by their arms. The captive
Gauls, Germans Britains no less than the Car
thagenians and Egyptians were crushed by the
foot of mighty oppression and doomed to wear
out their lives in foreign bondage. Italy, and
also Greece, were full of such slaves In view
of this, when we find that among the converts
who were received into the apostolic churches.
servants, dou'oi, are repeatedly mentioned, there
appears to be no sufficient reason to doubt that
HUT vi lCSS vi tllCll MSIG
our friend argues from the kind of instructions
which the apostles gave them, that they justified
their masters in holding them in bondage. Let
us see.
The first passage quoted is that in LIST Cor, Z; 90
81: "Let every man abide In the same calling
wherein he was called. Art thou called being
a servant ? care not for it; but if thou mayest
be made free use it rather" On this it is re-
marked, that d" their new religion was not in
tended to suspend the lawful pursuits or break
up the lawful relations of society" Every
thing here depends upon the meaning attached
to the term lawful If he means pursuits and rela-
tons which the moral law of God sanctions,
then the new religion was not intended 10 dis
turb them but if he refers also to such as are
sanctioned by human in opposition to divine law

Gen. Sam Houston,

The New York Sunday Atlas gives the fol-
lowing interesting particulars of the history of
this distinguished Individual
"About the year 1867, he was elected Gov
ernor of the State Of Tennessee. lie held the
Office brief period only, when he resigned his
responsibilities and honors and, abiurng civil
hzcd life, emgrated 10 the region west of the
Mississippi and was adopted as IA SOIL by one OF
the Indian cheftains, lie assumed the habits,
and clad himself i'll the attire of a rowing son of
ne wilderness. He remained in the forest a
year or two, when he returned TO the scenes of
civilized life, and commenced the practice OF the
law III Natchez. 1t was whilst in Matches, that
he got up his famous scheme for the conquest of
Texas.
There was something of the romantic, of the
wild, and wonderful, in Gen. Houstons abdIca-
ton of the Executive office of Tennessc. 1t was
an act that few men could or would have sur
vyed. 1t was the result of passion-.and that
passion was love He had been married but a
few months when his abdication took place.
His wife was lady of great responsibility, a
native of the county Of Rutherford or Muury-
we forgot whicIl-and was residing temporarily
with her parents whilst Gov Houston was at
Murfreesboro, the then seat of Government, at
tending to his official duties. One day the lady
ordered her carriage, and proceeded to the seat
OF the local government. On arriving at the
State House she sent message to the executive
department, informing her husband that she had
arrived, and was waiting his attention. He ro-
turned for answer that he was very much en-
gagged in official duties-that if she would return
to her hotel, he would be with her as speedily as
possible.
The lady received the message, and directed
her coachman to take her back again to the res
ldence Of her parents. 4" If be not OF sutficien
consequence" she said, "to induce Governo
Houston to neglect all other business to attent
to me, ! am not worthy of being his WIFE Az
husband and wife, we never meet again"
All attempts to csnciliate and win her bach
again proved frutless, and divorce was the con
sequence. Stung to the quick, and mortified be,
yond all conception, Gov. Houston left Tenne

The Connecticut Sailor Boy.

was rolling fearfully; Twice | saw the captain
lose his center of gravity, though he kept his
temper pretty well, and measure his length on
the deck. Some of the rigging got foul at the

should 90 up and rectfy it. 1t was perilous

him order that boy alolt to do it He lifted his

The Shakers.

Their hearing before the Committee on the

spoke more than three hours. Mr.. Wells, i'll be-

They both spoke to a crowded house, and more
crowded galleries-and were able, animated and
eloquent. They satisfied the desires OF those
who knew them, and fully answered the high
raised expectation of the public. The shakers
were admitted on the hearing. Nearly dozen
females and more maels had seats in the House.
The witnesses on both sides were also present.
We noticed several females who were In with

Be COntenlcd with your Business.

From a recent number of that most excellent
periodical, Chambers Edinburgh journal, we
quote the following concluding paragraph of an
essay on the duty of being contented with the
business with which we are engaged, never to
regard it with shame or dissatisfaction.
1.-THE supposed capabilities of man for a.
mother employment should never hay the effect
of making him despise or neglect his present
one, however humble it may be. If it is worth
our while to do thing at all, it is surely worth
car while N do ii we'll. &c there be a,ty false
shame OIL the subject, it ought to be banished
by the reflection, that there are a vast number
of men of worth and talent superior to ours, la
boring, and labo.ing cheerfully, at still meaner
employments. Besides, it should ever be borne
in mind that even in comparatively obscure sit,
uations in life, there may be, and is, the greatest
earthly happiness. By due culture of the fac.
ulhes, by refining the sentiments, common
blacksmith may enjoy satisfaction of mind
equal to that of the greatest man in the parish.
One who values genius merely as a means of
advancement in the world cannot know or feel
what genius is Yet on this false estimate are
based a great proportion of the dreams which
disturb tile existence and fritter away the ener.
gies Of youth. 1t is not spiritual but temporal
glory for which the common visionary pants. 1t
is not the souls Of men he desires to take cap
tive, but merely their pockets; the paradise
which opens his minds eye beyond the counter,
is composed of fine houses, gay dresses, and lux
urient meals. The meanness Of such aspira
tons, enables us to say without conjunction,
that he who INDUCES them, no more possesses
the intellectual capabilities he fancies, than he
is likely to enjoy the substantial rewards of in
dustry and perseverance.
