A THOUGHT FOR PRosELrTERs AND RE

A THOUGHT FOR PRosELyTERs AND RE
FoRMERs.-I never 60 into Catholic church !;
though have no fear that should be injur-
ed by it. never take holy water; though /
might not be harmed by it. / never cross
myself, that / am aware of. / have no OBJ
jections to it. l would just as lief cross my
self as not. There Is no harm in it. But
have servant in my family who was
brought up a devout Catholic; and suppose
that use my influence against these things,
and say, "They are superstition. Do not
touch that water. Do not make the sign
of the cross" / have not given her
my broad ground to stand on; have put
nothing in the place of that which have
taken from her; have simply called that SUI
perstition which she has been taught to be-
lieve is part of her religion, and which to
her impression is as necessary as any later
stage Of development. / take away from her
that which is kind of religion to her, aud
substitute nothing for il. And she does not
cross herself any more; she does not read her
book OF devotion any more. / break her of
from her priest, and do not graft her on any
minister. take her away from her church,
and she does not want mine. have taken
away her beliefs, and have given her no 9TH
er beliefs. have cut up her religion, root
and branch, and have put nothing in the plaes
of it.-Beecher.

A correspondent of the Taunton Gazette
says the inscription on Qighton Rock is slow
disappearing, owing to the effect OF ice upon
Its surface during the winter. The solution
of this singular inscription has given rise 10
much speculative inquiry, and a great diver
sity of opinion. 1t has challenged the atten-
tion of many scholars learned in antiquarian
lore. Mr.. Harris, the learned orientalist,
thought he found the Hebrew word melek
king in the inscription. Col Vallaney con-
sidered it of Scythian origin. The Rhode
Island Historical Society caused a carefully
prepared drawing of the rock to be sent to the
Royal Society of Antiquaiies Of Copenba-
gen, by whom it was submitted to Prof. Rath
the eminent Runic scholar, and learned asso-
ciate, Prof. FinA Magnusson. A part of the
inscription they declared to be in the Runic
character, and to read: "On this spot landed
Thorfnn with one hundred and thirty-One
men," Various drawing have been made of
the rock and its inscription, from that of Cot
ton Mather to the present day, all of them
differing in essential particulars; but last
summer a successful attempt was made to
photograph the rock with large plate, as
well as stereoscopic size, and the Inscription
may now be critically examined by the anti
quarian.

ing:
Let the farest star be selected, like q beauteous
island in the vast and shOrelesS of the azure
heavens, as the future home of the criminals from
the earth and let them possess whatever they most
love- aud all that is possible for God to bestow:
let them be endowed with undyin: bodies. aud
with minds which shall ever retain their intellect
ual powers; let no Savior ever press his claim
upon them, no God reveal himself to them, no
Sabbath ever dawn upon them, no saint ever live
among them, no prayer ever be heard within their
borders but let society exist there forever, smt.
ten only by the leprosy OF hatred to God. and with
utter selfishness as its allpervading and eternal
purpose-then, as sure AZ the law of righteousness
exists on which rests the throne of God and the
government OF the universe, a society so cOnstui.
