Is lie PIous' The tes; OF popular ieg gious cstim-
alton is indicated by the frequent question, is he
pious!" 1t is, OF course. resumed by the enquirer
that his question can easily be saswered and yet
the rsalcase is this; Ii we consider pi.iy as all in
terror sentiment the fact OF its existence in any case
is known To the Lord alone; but if We view piety a.
external habit il then derive all its value from
the interior sentiment; whence il follows that the
question, is he pousl' is one that cannot be an
swered with any certainty 50 long as hypocrisy is
possible. The question Is he good manr is Tar
more easily answered, because acts ofUutwari good
ness imply self denial OF kind and degree 10 which
acts ot outward pisty can have no claim.

MISCELLAN EO U s.
AN ESSAY
Read before the Belmont Co. Teachers Insii-
tute at its session in Flushing, Ohio.
p THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
STUDY OF HISTORY.
AN ESSAY

Amongst other studies Of interest and inn
.portance, History should claim share of oar
attention; have therefore selected it as the
subect of few remarks; though | have not
pretended to give it thorough and scientific
investigation, or such one as it is worthy Of;
but choose rather to take cursory and school
girl view Of it: for whether we regard pleas
nre or profit, we shall find the advantages
arising from the study Of History almost un-
limited. .l
As source of pleasure, it opens wide ex-
tended field for the exercise of the imagina-
ton. Connected with it, we find SO much
that is novel, beautiful and sublime, we in
stinctiyely, as we peruse it, weave web OF
romance, fanciful enough to excite and sat
isfy the most inveterate deyourer Of fiction.
With this addition to the stimulus belief
In its reality. And too there is SO much that
is good, and bad and true as must interest
and prove to the most profound philosopher
the most erudite statesman, and co&vnce
the best christian, or most devoted man Of the
world,--that human nature is the same in al
AGES. That the same temptations to do evil
always existed,--and the same incentives tc
virtue. Indeed. we cannot think OF style
of mind that might not be benefited and en-
tertsined by careful perusal of it. Unless
Il may be some one that takes no interest il
progress, apd feels no desire to add to tn,
store house Of memory.
If history be we'll and correctly written
that is, with clsarness, precision, order an
connection,--marked with the visible impres
of Genius, and bearing unmistakeable evi
dence of Truh,-nons will fail to find enter
tainment in it. Even those matter-of-fac
persons that are perfectly wrapt up in them
selves, and satisfied with every thing sroun

0TTo any inquring what they shall do
for cough and cold, we would say, read the
following certificate, which has been signed
by one hundred Of the first Houses of
Druggists in this country, to lay before the
public their estimate of good medicine.
They are all men of the first class and of
the highest character, whose experience and
business leads them to know, and this is their
opinion:-
we the undersigned, Wholesale Druggists,
having been for long acquainted with Ayers
Cherry Pectoral, hereby certify our belief that
it is the best and! most effectual remedy for
Pulmonary Complaints ever offered to the A
merican People. And we would from our
knowledge of its composition, and extensive
usefulness, cordially commend it to the affiict-
ed as worthy their best confidence, and with
the firm conviction that 1t will do for their re.
lief all that medicine can do

OrTLAwRY OF SEDucERs.-Said Russian
noble, in yndicatiun Of his countrymen from
the charge Of abject servlity to despotism,
The dagger is the Constitution Of Russia"
When an Emperor becomes an intolerable
tyrant he is killed in his own palace or any
where he may be found. So it is in Turkey,
though there the Prime Minister is usually
the sacrifice to public sentiment, while the
Sultan saves his neck but is forced to change
in policy. SO China IS undergoing what is
equivalent to one Of our Presidential Elec-
tions, though rather more expensive and
arduous struggle. All evils imply some
counteraction or remedy, since Human Nature
does not submit to the Intolerable.
In like manner, our laws generally de-
nounce no penalty, or one very inadequate,
tor the fragrant crime Of Seduction; 50 en-
unwritten law is making or has made itself.
1t is virtually settled by score of verdcts,
running through the last twenty years, that
seducer may be killed with impunity by his
victim, or even by her brother or her husband.
He is wild beast, whom any one whom ho
has specially injured, may shoot or stab with
impuDity. We do not here approve or con-
demn this chapter OF Lynch Law we simply
state the fact.-N. Y. Tribune

TIE Law OF KiSLSEss.-People know
not what they lose by suly and overbesr-
ing spirit. Kindness is the only way to sof-
ten the heart and make those friends who
were before our enemies. Here Is an onec-
dote in illustration: "The horse Of a gentle
man happening to stray into the road,
neighbor put him into the pound Meeting the
owner soon afterward he told him what he
had done, and added, "If ever catch him
IN the road hereafter I'll do so agsin."--
"Neighbor." replied the other, "not long
since looked out Of my window at night g.
saw your cattle in my moving ground, when
drove them out, aud shut them in your
yard; III do so again!" Struck with tho
reply, the man liberated the horse from the
pound, and paid the charges.

amount on the list. Add to this the increas-
ed value of property, crow-bar assessments,
&c, and a democratic friend assured US that
the rate would not be over 25 cents on the
500 which would make 4 redvction of 10
cents from the levy Of last year. Instead OF
this it is absolutely 5l,Ol mills. or say 81
cents, on the hundred dollars.

THE NORTHERN ROUTE TO THE Pacific
On the 9th of June, Gov. Stevens struck his
camp on the margin Of Lake Omela, near
Fort Smelling, and followed his advance par
ties toward the Sauk Rapids, in the survey of
his route to Puget's Sound. The force open
ing from the head waters Of the Mississippi
westward consists of about eighty men, who
can be subdiyided into four parties. Upon
approaching the Rocky Mountains, the rail-
way survey will probably have to be suspend
ed, and the whole force be applied to the gen.
eral reconnaissance. By October, Gov. Ste
vens expects to get through the Roc'iy Moun-
tains. He has authority to treat with the
Blackfeet Indians and other tribes through
whose country he will pass and has appointed
Mr.. Culbertson special agent among them,
who will advise them of the approach Of the
expedition, and convene a grand council
at Fort Benton. From this fort to Fort Union
is four hundred miles, which the wagons of
the American Fur Company traverse ia twen-
ty days. All due pains will be taken to keep
peace with the Indians, but the party is pre-
pared :or defence with howitzer and Sharp's
rifles, firing ten shots a minute. Lieut.. Ru-
fus Saxton, of the army, is commissioned to

SABBATH READING.
What is prayer!
BI JAaLs MONTGOMERY.

BI JAaLs MONTGOMERY.
Prayer is the souls sincere desire,
Ctter'd or unexpressd;
The motion Of hidden fire
That trembles in the breast.
Prayer is the burden ofa sigh
The falling ofa tear
The upward gancing Of m eye,
When none but God Is near
Prayer is the simplest form OF speech
That infant lips can try;
Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach
The Majesty on high.
Prayer is the Christians vital breath,
The Christians native air;
His watchword at the gates Of DEATH
He enters heaven with prayer.
Prayer is the contite sinners voice,
Returning from his ways;
While angels, in their songs, rejoice,
And cry,-Behold. he prays!
o Thou, by whom we come to God,
The Life, the Truth, the Way
The path of prayer thy-elf hast troll
Lord, teach US how to pray!
