THE BRIDE OF LAnrmERmooR.

We receive regularly the numbers of PETER
SONS series of the Waverly Novels, and as the en-
terprise is really worthy of patronage, we con-
tinue to insert the ready editorials sent with
each number -
THE BRIDE OF LAMMERMooR. By Sir Walter
Scott. With a magnificent steel Portrait Of the Au-
thor, NTH his Autograph under it. One of Z. b.
Peterson & Brothers cheap oeeky issue Of Rauerty
Novels for tho Million.
The worldwide reputation Of the Waverly
Novels will insure ready sale Of this cheap edi-
ton, and prove, we trust, remunerative to the
enterprising publishers. 1t is eommendable to do
any thing that will, even in small degree, stay
the present irsging appetite for pernicious light
reading By satisfying the cravings Of those who
desire fiction with some of the heathiest of its or
der, is preventing evil, and negatively, at least,
doing good. There are no works of the imagi-
nation which so effectually accomplish this as
the novels of Sir Walter Scott. They, to soy
nothing more are harmless. 1t is even aston
ishing that through to many volumes there
should be found so little that religion or moral
ity would disapprove. For beauty of style, CO.
piousness Of expression vividness of description,
and interest Of subject, Scott stands int he fore
most rank. His works will be read always with
interest, and not unfrequently with profit. One
volume is issued every Saturday, and each one
is got up in neat style, all of the same size,
and are printed at the rate of 25 cents volume,
or the whole twenty-six volumes for five dollars
and sent free of postage to all, on receipt of this
sum. This low price should place sett of them
within the reach ofeverybody in the land; and
we would take this occasion to advise all Of our
readers to make remittance of Five Dollars ut
once, per first mail, to T. B. Peterson Brothers,
Philadelphia, for the entire sett, who will send
them complete to any one, free Of postage, on re-
ceipt of that sum.

MORE COTTON SQUARES.

There seems to be considerable rivalry in our
District as to who should have The credit of the
first cotton squares. Mr.. S. W. MCNEIL, of Su-
sabole, informs US that the first squares made
their appearance on his farm, on the 1Sthaltimo.
Whenever desired, we make such publications
readily; but we are not sure that it is not bad
policy on the part of our farming friends, to de-
sire such things to be noticed in the newspapers.
1t has tendency to give false impression a.
broad as to the condition of our crops, and even
has its effect in Europe to fix the price of cotton.
The buyers of Liverpool are doubtless furnished
with all paragraphs of this character, on which
they will base their estimates of the prospective
crop. Every one in our section knows that, in
most instances, the subjects of such paragraphs
arc of hot house growth and no indication what
ever of the future.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

This body, representing the Old-School Presby-
terians, has been in session in Indianapolis, Indi
ana. Rev. J. R. BAIRD and Col. r. G. DAVIDSON,
are present from Bethel Presbytery.
The proceeding that have thus far reached US
have not been such as to interest our readers. On
the seventh day, o committee appointed to revise
the "Book of Discipline" of which DR.. THORN
WELL is chairman, made their report. The first
change recommended is in regard to the meaning
of an "offence," which is stated by the report to
be "anything in the faith or practice of profess
ed believer which is contrary to the Word Of God,
the Confession of Faith, and the Larger and Short
er Catechisms of the Westminster Assembly, being
accepted by the Presbyterian Church in the Uni
ted States of America as standard expositions Of
the teachings of Scripture in relation both in faith
and practice" The reader will compare this with
the "Book" as it now reads.
The report recommends secondly, that the rule
in regard to ''Baptized Children" be altered 70
read thus: "All baptzedpersons, being members
of the Church. are under its government and train
ing, and when they have arrived OF years of dis
cretion, they are bound to perform all the duties
of members. Only those however, who have made
profession of faith in Christ are proper subjects
of judicial prosecution"
In regard to dropping members from the roll,
the following change is recommended: sin cases
in whicha communicating member of the Church
shall state in open court, that he is persuaded in
his own conscience that he IS not converted, and
has no right to come to the Lords table, and de-
sires to withdraw from the communion of the
Church if he has committed no offence which re-
quires process, his name shall be stricken from
the roll of communicants, and the fact, if deemed
ezpedient, published in the congregation Of which
he is member"
new principle is introduced in the following

passionate attachment or aversion. Yet you Oh
ten find the natural sequence reversed, and the
dispositions consequent upon one description OF
physical conformation all attending the opposite.
Ia this as in every thing else we are ruled oy
Conventionality, that great e1tinguisher Of all ma
tural feeling or expression. Because painters
when they wish to represent Faith or Hope or
Resignation, or something pre- eminently extra
mundane, choose as an impersonation female
figure and represent her with auburn or golden
hair and fair complexion and blue eyes; are we
to conclude that BLONDES are better or purer or
holer than Brunettes? Or when they would
portray an Apasia or q Cleopatra or a) Ninon
de rEnclos; because they use brown umber
and burnt sienna instead Of pink and white,
or ivory black instead of ultramarine, are we
to suppose that women with brown compilations,
whose cheeks the sunbeams have loved OF dwell
upon, and black eyes whose brightness rivals
the light Of stars, are any more earthly or
less divine than the pale-fsced, fair-haired rep
resentatives Of angels? No one is as good as
the other, for both are beautiful and true and
good by nature. And you find blue-eyed wo-
man as likely. to stray from virtues paths from
want of will, as you find o black-eyed woman from
force of passion. I never have seen anything that
equalled the depth of woman's eye except the
eyes of some dogs. Those animals, the nearest
perhaps, to man in intelligence, have but this
way Of expressing the emotions Of tenderness and
devotion which they feel in very elevated degree
Dogs cannot talk Women can talk and do talk
(heaven knows) but they have so very many emo
tons that their eyes must talk too And then
as If kind heaven were determined to make them
guile-less whether or no, every emotion of their
hearts is very clearly shown in their eyes. Phey
cannot be deceitful. They may talk deceptively
and if you listen without looking, or are unable
to read the signs in their eyes, you may be de-
ceived but heaven has added this quality so as
to make her, so to speak, in spite Of herself,
truthful. So let her have blue or black or grey
or brown or green (which last is especially hor-
rible) eyes, woman as yet uncontaminated by
earths Influences is the most beautiful, truest,
the purest and the holiest of Gods creations and
the most beautiful, the best of her possessions are
brightly beaming, soul-lit eyes.
Idolatrously yours,
RUBY.

THE "kNOoK-DoWN ARGUmENTn

The address by the Rev. Mr.. JAMES, published
on the FIRST page, certainly merits every word Of
the commendation bestowed upon it by our Bull
locks Creek correspondent Itisadmirable; puts
the argument in its strongest phase, and main
tains with unusual power. It will amply repay
perusal
We fear, however, that some one may omit this
duty, and thereby lose, amongst other good things
"knock-down" argument designed for that re-
spectacle body of Christians who, in respect Of
the temperance movement, demand "Thus saith
the Lord" The most elaborate concatenation Of
premises could not reach the point more happily,
more exactly. It is presented thus:
81 refer to those who consider themselves as
moderate drinkers or even those who do not useit
And remark that have met with persons who
were members of the Church objecting to the tenn
perance reformation. We would not have been
surprised at such thing occurring in the dark
ages of the Church; but for any one in the 18th
century to object to an enterprise which has for
its object the moral improvement Of the human
race is beyond our comprehension. The principle
argument relied on is that they can find no place
in scripture which enjoins it upon them to unite
with O temperance SOcIety. Wutu NC ueol !uen
speaking this way, it always reminds me OF con-
versation, which once heard of taking place be-
tween minister and his deacon on this sub ect.
The deacon was in the habit of taking his dram
as he called it, sin moderation" This minister
found him one day standing near well which he
was digging and as usual, the subject of temper,
ance was mentioned by the minister. All! said
the deacon, "all your arguments appear very
plausible and I promise you when 90 home
will commence and read my Bible from Genisis to
Revelation, and if 1 find in it anything that says
should join the temperance society, pledge you
my word I will do it." Just at this moment his
foot slipped and he fell to the bottom Of his we'll
After recovering himself he called on his minister
to let down the rope and draw him out. The re-
ply he received was, 81 promise you that when
20 home, will commence and read my Bible from
Genesis to Revelations and if find in it anything
that says shall draw deacon out of q well, then
will Of course do it." Seeing no other chance
of escape and not wishing to perish, he agreed
that if the minister would take him up he would
join the society without further investigation.

PUBLIC LECTURE.

1t will be observed that tho first Lecture, be-
fore our Lyceum, will be delivered in the College
Hall, on Friday evening next.
The society has been fortunate in securing for
this occasion the services Of Lieut.. THOMAS. He
is one of the rising men in our State, and has al
ready won an enviable and growing reputation
In his Lecture, we promise rare intellectual en-
tertainment.
We need not express the hope that this effort,
on the part of the Lyceum, to afford to our people
the opportunity for true social and intellectual
enjoyment, will meet with grateful appreciation.
We feel sure that the ladies and gentlemen of the
town will honor the occasion by an overAowing
house-testifying in behalf Of the Lecturer, and
of those at whose invitation he comes.
