THE FAMILY

The family-what a holy compact--a
constitution organized by Deity-a union
of hearts and interests. Of-times the
family circle is so sacred, that the entrance
of kind friend seems like intrusion. 1t
Is little heaven below. Whose silent in
fuences make home so sweet, so sacred a
place The mother, Her peculiar sphere
is in her own household she is to make
home happy; to draw around it such at
fractions, that no allurements from with
out will be preferred TO their own sanctua-
ry. The mother is to secure the conf
dence of every child, and make it feel that
she is its best friend. If the mother real
ICES her duty, and strives to do it, the child
will soon see that there are mutual obliga-
tions.
"Pious mothers have done more to
people heaven than any other class of per-
sons next TO the preachers of the gospel. "
When such mothers are no more, then
will their children rise up and say, in the
language of Cowper-
My boast is not. that deduce my
birth from loins enthroned, and rulers of
the earth but higher far my proud pre-
tensions rise. The son Of parents passed
into the skies. ."-H0fter'S lLagQ1ine.

DEAL JUSTLY.

One Of our religious exchanges has the
following strong remarks on this subject.
They drive the nail on the head and clinch
il -
"Men may sophisticate as they please,
they never can make it right, and all the
laws in the universe cannot make it right
for them not to pay their debts. There
is sin in this neglect as clear and as de-
serving church discipline, as in stealing or
false swearing. He who violates his prom
ise to pay, or withholds the payment of a
debt, when it is in his power to meet his
engagements, ought to be made to feel that
in the sight of all honest men he is a
swindler. Religion may be comfortable
cloak under which TO hide, but if religion
does not make man deal justly, it is not
worth having.

CD0tce Ertracts.
TRUTH, WELL SAID.

Christianity has doctrines and duties
which relate particularly to our fellow be-
lngs, which form It's moral and social side
and it has doctrines and duties which re-
late particularly to God, which form It's
spiritual side, and comprehend directly
whatever relates to our personal salvation.
These together form its completeness. 1t
cannot be truly embraced without embrac-
ing both. 1t is possible, however, to en-
brace It's social and moral side alone-and
to exhibit herein great beauty of charac-
ter; like the young ruler who propounded
to our Saviour the important question,
" Good Master, what good thing shall |
do that | may inherit eternal life p 1t is
possible, also, to embrace its spiritual side
alone, as far as the profession of creed is
concerned.
Now there are many men, who, owing
to the fortunate circumstances of their ed
ucation, are the stern believers in an or
thodox creed, while violating every beau
tllul charity Of life. And these men claim
to themselves great merit for their dog
matte faith, although it be 81 faith with
out works"
There are other men, who, owing per-
haps, to the equally unfortunate circum-
stances of their education, are building on
a false foundation their hopes of eternal
life, while distinguished for amiable tenn
pers, and a generous and efficient morality
in the ordinary walks of life.
1t would be an unwise preference which
should attach US in kinder bonds to the
former than to the latter. The one has
faith without virtue. The other has vir-
tue without faith. The one processes to
believe according to the most orthodox
standard, but breathes no atmosphere of
holiness. The other believes at least in
social virtue, and is true to his belief.
The last is the finer and nobler character.
Both are essentially deficient.
Christian Charity viii estimate their
defects impartlally; and will neither allow
herself to be imposed upon by the proud
assumption of unproductive orthodoxy,
nor TO be led away from the just proper
ton and momentous value of the spiritual
side of religion, by those kindly virtues
which she prizes, but which nevertheless,
when they stand alone, show that one
thing still is wanting.-N. Y. Ermgelist.

THE MYSTERIOUS KNOCKIyGs.

The Rochester Rappers are still in New
FORK, and driving good business in the
way of mystery. Many who visit them
pronounce the whole matter humbug,
while the majority declare there is some
thing in it, but what, is beyond human ken.
The ladies were recently subjected to 4
test BY critics of their own sex, who dis
robed them so far as TO be fully satisfied
that the cause of knocking was not con-
cealed about their persons. They were
also placed upon glasses, and the knock
ings occurred as before.
The Rev. DR.. Phelps, at whose house
in Stratford, Conn, mysterious rapplngs,
&C. have been frequent of late, has pub
lished his experience and views of the
matter in the n. Y. Observer. He cor
roborates the reports OF others IN regard
to the strange noises and conduct Of the
invisibles, and expresses the belief that
they are wicked spirits, and indeed says
that '' they profess to be wicked spirits IN
torment, seeking a mitigation of their tor
ment, by redreSsing the wrongs Of which
they were guilty in Ife." Mr.. P. has
watched their course closely, and has be-
come satisfied he says that their communi-
cations are wholly worthless. He adds,
they are often contradictory often prove
false frequently trifing and nonsensical,
and more in character with what might be
expected from spirits returned from the
world of retribution, to tell the secrets OF
their prison house."
Mr.. P. confirms the reports in regard
10 ,f
of wood, nails, etc. in different directions
about his house, the freaks of some invisi-
bic agency, of which as yet no solution
has been obtained. Hestates that for some
weeks past their annoyances at his house
have been subsiding, and expresses the
hope that they have ceased altogether.
Mr.. p. thinks the conduct of the bad
spirits on his premises, proves conclusively
% that the discipline of hell which they
profess to have experienced for several
years, has as yet been wholly Intellectual
in improving their characters, and qualify
ing them for the higher sphere for which
many suppose that the discipline after
death is preparation; ;" and his present
impression rs that the whole thing, so far
as the transactions in this place are con-
cerned, is to be set down among those de-
vices of Satan, by which he is promoting
his work of destroying souls, and my
chief object in this communication to the
public at this time is, TO caution all who
would avoid error, against trusting to their
pretended revelations"
The Observer vouches for the character
of the Rev. DIR. Phelps.

The heart of the generous man is like
the clouds of heaven, which drop upon the
earth fruits, herbage, and flowers; the
heart of the ungrateful is like desert of
sand, which swallows with greediness the
showers that fall, but burieth them in It's
bosom and produceth nothing.

THE REASON WHY.

A little fellow came running into the house,
exclaiming, "Oh! sister Mary, I've such pret-
ty thing It's piece of glass, and it's all red
When | look throughit everything looks red too,
the trees, houses, green grass, and your land
even your blue eyes,"
"Yes, John," replied Mary, sit is very beau
tiful, and let me show you that you can learn a
useful lesson from this pretty thing. You re-
member the other day you thought everybody
was cross to you. Yon said father, mother and
| were all the time finding fault with you Now
you were like this piece Of glass. Because it is
red, everything seen through it looks red; You
were cross SO you thought everybody aronnd
you wao cross too. But when you get up in the
morning in good humor loving and helping
everybody, they too will seem kind and loving
toward you. Now remember, brother, and al
ways be what you wish others to be-kind, gen.
tie, loving and they seen through this beautiful
color of your disposition, will seem more beauti-
ful than ever.-.M Y Organ.

A USEFUL COMPOSITION.

In the Scientific Convention, at New Haven,
Professor OImsted stated that rosin added to
lard gives it degree of fuidity not before pos
snssed by the lard, and also prevents the latter
forming those acids which corrode metals-cop-
per und brass, for example:-
Several important practical applications re-
suit from this property. Its use for lubticating
surfaces of brass or copper has already been
adverted to- 1t is equally applicable to surfaces
of sheet-iron. have found very thin coating,
applied with brush, sufficient to preserve Rus
sia-i iron stoves and CRATES from rusting during
summer, even IN damp situations.
usually add to it portion of black lead, and
this preparation, when applied with brush, in
the thinnest possible film, will be found a COM
pIete protection to sheet-iron stoves and pipes
The same property renders the compound of
lard and rosin a valuable ingredient in the com.
position of shaving soap. The quality of shay
ing-soap is G eatly improved by a larger propor-
ton Of oil than is usually employed, so as COM
petely to saturate the alkal; but such soap ca.
silly becomes runcid when wet with water, and
suffered to remain damp--as it commonly is

LATEST ASCENT OF POPOCA.
TAPEPETL.

The London .4tienGum Of August Sd, con-
tains an extract of letter from Mexico OF June
10th, describing an ascent, just successfully
made, of the great mountain Popocatepetl, near
the city of Montezuma. Oddly enough-con-
sidering such bunder coming from sucn quar-
ter-the AthenRum seems to consider 1t as the
first ascent ever made. Popocatepetl has been
successfully climbed by several different parties.
The extract Is as follows:
"Three English gentlemen have just returned
from a trip to the crater Of Popocatepet of which
one of them sends me all interesting account |
did not know of their intention until too late, or
it would have been an excellent opportunity to
have tried the Anerod at great elevation
They were five hours ascending, and only one
hour and quarter returning; having remained
four hours and half on the sumnit--where
they found no difficulty in breathing, smoking
or drinking, or even walking fast on the level
edge of the crater. The crater was grand
sight, like very deep barranco, with sides near
ly perpendicular, about 1000 feet deep, and a
league in circumference. At the bottom was
pond of sulphur, which was bubbling away in
fine style, of bright yellow color, and emitting
great volume of smoke, the greater part of
which was condensed in the crater before reach
ing its top, At the crater, the barometer stood
at l6.0l5 inches; Centigrade thermometer 20;
water boiled at lS4 deg. Fahr.-corresponding
to about 1000 feet of altitude"
