Evil Influences.

The great amount Of insanity in the agricultural
portion of one Of The States, has been nscrhed, IN

already offered few remarks upon The physical de-
preston pr, du,cd by fanstci,m. This cause is d.

want Of public Inducements renders any employment

Fanaiicism condemns danring. Yet no amusement,

hIbllOns. Yet the mischief in these is IN heir abuse,
and In certain nccomI amin essnrily con-
ntcicd with them. They IN gh be offered IN towns
and villages, free from all the cnrrupions
sariy connected with them in ciiiss. The athletic
games carefully MAINTAINED amnng the nncicnts,
and still preserved in many parts Of Europe, are much
needed among the adult population Of our towns and
villages. They are very unwsey confined to boys,
aud even discouraged among them. Musical and de-
baing societies ought to exist IN every country town.
aud 10 include all who have The least talent for music
aud Ill who cam well ali who cannot speak
Debating societies advantageous to hearers,
TO takers. Every clergyman ought To give scien-
tlhc lecture 10 his congregation, at least once in
month. on Sunday, in the form of sermon. accom-
panied with the usual exercises As God made the
physical world, and nude knowledge of it part OF
moral duty, clergyman could say that this would
interfere with the appropriate duties of the Sabbath.
Every physician In country town should be required
to give periodical lecture upon science, 10 the peO-
pie of such town. and should receive payment for it
from its treasury And not only should public libra
ries be established in each but each scboolnns-
ter should be required TO give a monthly lecture to
the people of his district, some literary subject.
To the enlightened, no employment, is more attrac-
tive than agriculture. Instead of being repusiye and
monotonous. it affords. cultivated minds, most
fascinating variety. LIS repulsive features found
only in the ignorance of its pursuers; and hence SC
many leave it for professional, mercantile and me-
chanical life Science literature and rational public
amusements would render agriculture the most al
tructive of all employments.-Pa. Ledger.

AbOn Ben Adhcm and the Angel.

Awohc one night from deep dream of peace,
And saw, within the moonlight in his room,
Makinsit rich. and like lily in bloom,
An Angel writing in book of gold.
Excesding peace had made Ben Adhem bold;
And 10 the presence in the room he said
what writest thoui' 1hc vision raised It's head
And with look made of all sweet accord,
Answered, The names Of those who love the
Lord
And il mine 6he;' said Abou. Nay, not so,
Replied the Angel. Abou spoke more low,
But ehccrly still; and said. 1 pray thee, then,
Write me as one that loves his fellow men,
The Angel wrote and vanished. The next night
1t came again, with great wakcning light,
And showed the names whom love of God had
blcst,
And 10 ben Athens name led all the rest.

FUNERAL DISCOURSE.

Roorsrows, Dec. Ia, 1549
FRIEND JOHNSON: The following is an alb
strnct of the remarks made by me at the fil-
neral Of SARAH ii. CASE, this day, in the
Presbyterian meeting house in this town.
forward il to you for the Bugle, at the re-
qhest Of the friends of the deceased.
Before her deatli; She requested that |
might be present at the funeral and he al
lowed to speak my sentiments freely over
her earthly remains. She WINS assured it
should be so, ifI could be found. came,
therefore, at her request The body was
Brought into the house and laid in front of
the pulpit There she lay, so calm, SO smi-
ling; her babe lying on her bosom, eneircled
fbhdly in death hy her right arm: II was
beautiful to hook upon that face, for more
Open, calm, and dignifed countenance it has
seldom been my lot TO look hpbm
There was no oral, formal praying, nor
singing; but after stating that was there to
speak at the eufnest request Of her whose
only earthly remains lay before Inc and that
it wis her wish tlut might be allowed to
express freely my views, she knowing what
they werei and after reading few verses
from the Sermon on the Mount, prbceetlerl,
In substance, as follows:
have not one word to say, on this ocea-
sion, about the lords giving and taking
aikay and about blessing Him for sick
mess and death; for i Jlo not believe the Lord
huti any thing to TO in the sickness and Heath
the mother and babe whose remains are

ber6aSed husband, child, moth6b sister, bro

the Providence of God, who, as others will
say, for Wise and benevolent purposes had
snatched away tho loved wife, mother
tlaughter, sister and friend. Such consola-
tion is based on faisehood. cannot give il.
Yet have much 10 say over these remains
solely with view to the practical benefit OF
those who hear me. Tho two following
propositions viii be the basis of all have to
offer:
l. God works out all his purposes, touch
ing h,itnan beings, solely by the agency Of
fixed, constitutional laws, engraven by Him
self on their bodies ard souls. .l
2. These laws, if allowed to work out
their desig,,ea results would never bring
paiu Of body nor anguish of mind to any hui
h,an being.

that she had been seen walking with her

Judge, aIlel listening wi'hlhe greatest com
