RG- The Sabbath School" said Dan
iel Webster, dis one of the great insti-
tutions Of the day. 1t leads our youth
in the path of truth and morality, and
makes them good and useful citizens
As school ofreligious instruction, it is
Of finestimable value; as civil institu-
tioa it is priceless, and has done more
to preserve our liberties than grave
statesmen and armed soldiers. Let it
then be fostered and preserved until the
end of time.
Il once defended a man charged with
the awful crime of murder. At the
conclusion of the trial, asked him
what could have induced him to stain
his hands with the blood of fellow be-
ing. Turning his b!ood shot eyes upon
me, he replied in voice of despair,
Mr. Webster, in my youth [ spent the
holy Sabbath in evil amusements in
stead of frequcuting the house of prayer
and praise
Could we go back to the ea,ly years
of all hardened criminals, | believe, yes,
firmly believe, that their first departure
from the path of morality was when
they abandoned the Sabbath school, and
their subsequent crimes might thus be
traced back to the neglect of youthful
religious instruction."

Scientific Paradoxes.

The water which browns us-a fluent
stream can be walked upon as ice. The
bullet which, when fired from the mus
ket, carries death. will be harmless #
ground to dust before being fired. The
crystaized part of the oil of roses SO
grateful in its fragrance-a solid at Or
dinary temperature though readily vo-
latile-is compound substance, con
tanning exactly the same elements, and
in exactly the same proportions, as the
gas with which We light our streets
The tea which we daily drink, with
benefit and pleasure, produces palpita-
tions, nervous tremblings, and even
paralysis, if taken in excess; yet the pc
culiar organic agent called theme, to
which tea owes its quality may be ia

without any apprcciable effect. The
water which will allay our burning
thirst, augments it when congealed into
snow; so that Capt Ross declares the ma
tives of the Arctic regions, prefer en-
during the most extreme thirst rather
than attempt to remove it by eating
snow" Yet if the snow be melted ii
becomes drinkable water. Neverthe-
less, although, if melted before entering
the mouth, it assuase es the thirst like
other water, when melted in the mouth
it has an opposite effect. To render
this paradox more striking, we have on
ly to remember that ice which melts
more slowly in the mouth, is very eff
cacious for allayins thirst.-BIock-

Spiritual ItlstructOrs.

1t is to be regretted that the teachings
of Spiritual instructors are not more
harmonious, and that their doctrines
do not appeal more strongly to the COM
mon sense and Judgment Of the reflect
ing mind. 1t is equally as much to be
regretted that the people either will not
think for themselves upon subjects
which concern them the most, or that
they coincide with their instructors in
opinions, which lead them to judge
harshly of those who do not entertain
the same belief with themselves. The
battle of life is hard one enough for
most men. to struggle with, without en-
tertaining antagouisms against their fel-
low man, because of arriving at differ
ent conclusions from themselves; which,
after all, is not SO much the result of
reasoning, as education. Is it not
wrong then for those who assume the
position of Spiritual advisers to encour-
age a hostile sentiment in man towards
his fellow man, on account of a matter
of belief. -ught they not rather to
teach love, and the practice Of kindly
actions towards all men, because all
men are brothers, notwithstanding they
entertain different beliefs.-Neei.
