Study of Scripture.

Melville, distinguished English
preacher, makes some judicious remarks
on the proper study of the Bible:
We say not that the study Of Scrip.
ture should exclude other studies, or be
substituted for them. Natural phyloso.
ply is not to be learned from Scripture
nor general history; and we would no,
have such matters neglected But we
say that Scriptura study should be at
once the groundwork and companion
of every other; and that the mind will
advance with tho firmest and most do.
minant step into the various departments
OF knowledge, when famiiarized with
the truths of revelation, and accustomed
to walk their unlimited spreadiugs. If
parents had no higher ambition than to
make their children religious. 1t is
thus we apply our subject to those a.
mong US who are parents or guardians.
But it applies to all. We call upon
you al to observe that, in place of being
beneath the notice of the intellectual,
the Bible is tho great nourisher of the
intellect. We require Of you to bear
away to your homes, as an undeniable
fact, that to care for the soul is to cult
vate the mind. And therefore be We
beedful--the young among you more
especially---lhat ye be not ashamed of
piety as though it argued feeble ca.
pacity. Rather be assured, forasmucb
as revelation is the great strengthened
OF reason, that march ofmind that leaves
theBible in tho rear, is in advance, like
that OF our lirst parents in Paridise, to-
wards knowledge, but at the same time
towards death.

THE AMERICAN UNION.

Bs1~ The following paragraphs we
copy from the "Notes of Travel" by
the editor of the Messenger s. Recorder
of this place:
AT the county seat of Doddridge,
( Vest Unioa) the adherents of Roman
ism have a chapel, conspicuously locat-
ed, and adorned with cross. They are
very numerous in this county-many
hundreds Of them are still employed on
the grading, &c. of the North Western
Railroad.
Ctaysoille, in Wood county, is quite
a fresh-looking and apparently thriv-
ing village on the Little Kanawha,
some eight or ten miles above Parkers-
burg. The Methodists have a house
of worship here, and tho Baptists are
preparing to build.
Weston. the county seat of Lewis, is
an old town, containing population of
about 1000. 1t is not improving very
rapidlyin appearance. The Roman Ca
tholics have a handsome brick chapel
here, eligibly located, and the number
of their adhcrents is said to be consid-
erablc. The Episcopalians have a
"G'iurch" and the Methodists likewise.
RaeAgaasog, the, capitol of Upshug
county, tsp pleasantly situated On an en-
inence, and evidently none the worse
for age. The population is about GOO.
,Ehe Baptists have a house of worship
here, and SO have the Methodist Epis-
copal and Methodist Prot. Societies.
A Division of the Sons Of Temper
aaoc was organized in Weston on We'd
nesday evening, August 22d, by del
egation of the Order from Buchannon.
Themembers appear to be of the right
stamp, and have most important field
to occupy.
The land in Upshur lies better for
culture than in several OF. the adjacent
7 counties. There are some extensive
meadows; and here, for the first time,
we saw a mo,Oing machine in operation.
. It.was doing good service, at rate of
Emotion by no means slow.

Personal geculiarities OF NIohamed,

Mohammcd was Of middlng size, had
broad shoulders, awide chest, and large
bones; and he was feshy but not stout.
The immoderate size Of his head was
partly disguised by the long locks of
hair, which in slight curls came nearly
down to the lobe of his ears. His oval
face, though tawnoy, was rather fair
for an Arab, but neither pale nor high
coiored. The forehead was broad, and
his fine long but narrow eyebrows were
separated by q vein, which you could
see throbbing if he was angry. Under
long cyelashcs sparkled bloodshot black
eyes through wide slit cyclids. Ills
nose was large, prominent, and slight
ly hooked, and the tip oft seemed to be
turned up, but was not so in reality
The mouth was wide; he had good set
Of teeth, and the forotooth was asun-
der. His beard rose from the check
bones and came down to the collar
bones he clipped his mustachos, but did
not shave them. He stopped, andwas
slightly hump-backed. His gait was
careless, and he walked fast but heayi.
y, as if he were ascending hill; and
If he looked back, he turned round his
whole body. The mildness of his ooun.
tonance gained him the confidence Of
every one; but he could not look strait
into a mans face; he turned his eyes IL
sually outward. On his back he had q
round fleshy tumor of the size Of a pi.
gcon's egg; it's furrowod surface was
covered with hair, andits base was sur.
rounded by black moles. This was con.
sidored as the seal of his prophetic mis-.
sion, at least during the latter part of
