contraa^in two particulars, viz: between wick-ednexa, «uid everiaating punishment on the one hand; a ^ r i ^ t e o u a n e s s and life-eternal on tbe other, i ln the jJrrf particular, the t ^ i f y of wicksdveaa, ia directly opposite the qoal i^ of tightem|anea8. In character they are wholly unlike i^ch other. Habitually the one disre-gards tl>e lawa of God, as a rule of life, and the othijr regards them,loves and obeys. The dtjTEs wickedness ia the same as the degree of righteouaneaa. The wicked man haa pro-gresBedj jiBtaa far in wickedness as the right-eous m m has in righteousness. In.the saxTid particocir, the quality of punishment is direct^ Ig o p p i ^ to that of l i f e . - Determining the natnre ^f tfae one, we determine indirectly the other,byoppo8itea.

I f for example, there ia nothing compre-. hended^. thetenn life, buf simple being, then punishijieni is non-existence. If life means consc i t^ being, then punishment means un-conBciSa being. If life means being in hap-piness.* then, in the contrast, punishment means peing in unhappiness. Joy. or-pleasttre is, in t^e latter case, the natnre or quality of life; a i^ sorrow, or pain, the natnre or quality of pun^ment . T^e degree, ia in duration, and this must be the same in both. So i t i s expres^d in the qualifying words—everlaaUng andet imal . These two words are one and the same in the original Greek.- The trans-lators have made the only apparent difference The (^ginal word is. aianian.

There is no extinction of conscioiis bein^ herT "Pe not deceived." " -, 2. I t i a objected, that.the oiiginal sentence

passed upon man, must determine the mean-m g of the term "everlastiDg punishment." viz: to the day thou eateat thereof thou shaU sure-

ly die,"—or dying thou shalt die. Thi t . says the objector, was "death, extinction of con-scioos being.'^ ^

A M . The Saviour's language should rather explain the original sentence; and'define the meaning of the term "death." as referring to lUM's final doom. He says "everlasting pun-ishment" Again, death in the scripture sense, by no means necessarily impliea unconscious being. They represent men in their natural state, as dead in trespasses and sins. The bcnptures do not, thereby convey the idea of extinction of moral being, or moral conscious-ness. If so. there,could be no consciousness of, or conviction for sin, and consequently no such thing as punishment in this world or the world to come. This, however, cannot accord with facts; The sentiment, conscious part of mM, suffers in consequence of moral guilt, al-a o u g h "dead in trespasses and sins." and t i ^ f o r e may continue to suffer eternally.— The thought is truly terriiying; that, however, can not make it untrue. Whoever wiU es-cape the punishment must embrace the Gos-pel. H e had better seek salvation throun-h Chnst, than cavil about the fancied injustice Of punishment*

JSXISTESCE; is a solemn trust; every soul is invested with this trust. No power but God's can annihilate; therefore must existence go on. Yes it must go on. A s it p r o c e ^ it gathers responsibili-ties at every step. It is maturing for its eter-nal state. Think of this, man of the world. Think of it. vain trifler. Think of it. rejec-tor of the gospel. Never can you cease to ex-i s t K you be'come a suicide, you only hasten the dreadful consummation. Death ends not existence. Death confirms existence—makes i t enduring; sets the seal, and settlbs the des-tiny. "After death cometh judgment." Here is matter. I again say. for your consideration. Think of it you must; not only when the voice of the preacher sounds it in your ears, but think of it yon must in those intervals when the soul asserts her mortality. But is thinking of it all you have to doj Is there no preparation ne-cessary! Are there no sins to be given up, no sorrows to be felt; no penitence to be felt and expressed; no prayers to_ be offered; no Saviour to be sought} Wil l you let existence go on. reckless how it ends! Wil l you let the trial come, and care not whether it result in heaven or in hell! Wil l you invite the world to come in between y o u and all these fearful scenes, and so cTieat yourselves, of your pre-paration. until it is too late to prepare! Who will hegin to-day the work of preparation!— ,-Who will act in a manner worthy of his im-mortal existence! Who vrill balance-time with

"eternity, and give to eternity the attention which it deserves! Who will repent and be-lieve the gospel?. All ia staked on this. W i l l you give up your sins! Wil l you give up the world! Wil l yon make thia sacrifice for holi-ness and for heaven! Nothing short of this can make "death welcome, and disrobe the judgment of its terrors. Notiiing else can p v e your name a place in the book of life; nothing else can give yotir name a place in the book of life; nothing else can place you among the re-deemed. and gvye you a share in .their unend-ing joys. Dying sinner, what is your decision! From that decision the appeal. I solemnly de-clare, shall be to the j u d ^ e n t seat of Christ

tizo, m tills instMce, does not signify immerse, or dip. or plunge. But does it not imply that he waa overwhelmed with fear! and is it not dependent upon i u literal definition for its torce? Suppose we should render it, he was sprinkled, or poured witii fear, would not its beauty and force be at once destroyed! Keep tiie Idea of immerse or overwhelm out of mind, and tiie force of tiie sentence is lost. This is ^ invmable rule which wiU never prove false . All phUologUts and critics will sustaia me in tiie above position, and wiU agree that tiie l i t -eral and ordinary import of a term, accordino-to tiie language in which the autiior wrote" should determine its sense. This principle-kept in mind, and much unnecessary disputa-tion is avoided. :

I t is a notorious fact, that all history, both ^

it not a wonder that more do lot ! ' Prof. Stewart has quoted passages from va-

rious c laaic autiiors, amounting in all to some t w o hundred, (some of which we shall notice in our next,) and he has not produced a s inde in:5tance where baptizo is used in any other so nse than that of immerse, plunge, over-w nelm, or cover up in some form.

VVe ask again, why was it not translated ac-cording to its meaning in the language! Listen and we will tell you. It is for the reason that some place must be found where haj-.tizo does not mean to imme-ree, or the Baptists have

su -ong proof in favor of immersion. " I t look-ed .(says he.) withtiiese facts before him, as if th e learned Professor ought to have become a a aptist. I was alarmed, and would have given u p the inquiry, but could not ." The result w as. Prof. Jewit t became a Baptist from read-ing Prof. Stewart 's essays in support of Pedo-baptism.

In regard to the word baptizo,we are wilUnn-to admit tiiat its secondary signification ma? mean dye, slain, &c., but baptizo has never signification.

true that all lexicographers, and scholars of any note, are agreed that the proper and ordinary import of baptizo, is immerse, dip, plunge, or signifies in some was the total envelopment of the subject. I am aware that many other words have been foisted into our Greek and English lexicons as remote meanings of bap-tizo, but none of these, which are acknowl-edged standard works, give it the signification of sprinkle or pour.

It is true that the first English edition and first American editions of Liddell &, Scott's excdlent work, we find jxjur upon, added to its proper signification; but Liddell &. Scott have eraset* these words from all subsequent issues of the English edition, and Prof. Drisler, edi-tor of the American edition, has promised to do the same. Prof. Drisler, in a letter to Rev . Mr. Duncan,explains how he happened to in-troduce the words into the American edition o f the work. He says it was by following t h e first English edition. Mr. Windham, of N e w Orleans, a scholar of high attainments, whx) has published a seriesof critical remarks upon Professor Drisler's edition,says, "Weare glad that Liddell & Scott have withdrawn their sanction from an interpretation wholly unwar-ranted."

Says tiie N e w York Recorder, "Mr. Wind- ' ham is not a Baptist, and has therefore no de-nominational biases to gratify by such views. Neither are Liddell & Scott BaptisU. nor in-deed is Mr. Drisler. but they are all men with whom the integrity of true scholarship is of more importonce than sectarian ends... It i s ; only in the range of inferior learning, and for the purpose of bolstering up the substitution of sprinkling, that men are found t« assign to it this signification."

This fact shows how sectarian biases have cormptodthe proper and legitimate Import of tiiis term: I t clearly evinces tnfr fact, that words have been foisted into our modern lexi-cons in order to subserve'sectarian ends.

• I heard a Presbyterian clergyman, in the de-cussion of this subject not many months since, bring LiSdell & Scott's lexicon as autiiority for baptizo meaning pour. Had he seen the sec-ond English edition, from which they have erased these words, and had he been better in-formed ihregwrd toth? manner in which they were introduced into the first edition, he would not have ventured such testimony. I wonder it he would be as wUling now to witiidraw the testimony he adduced as founded upon Lii^doll & Scott, after beitigapprised of tiie above fact, as he waa clamorous to produce it! The same gentleman asserted that a lexicon executed in tSe nintii c e n ^ , (whose author has now es-caped my meino^,) gave as one of the defini-i tions of baptizo. to sprinkle. Strange .tiiat a ' lexicon should be executed some -five hundred j jears before tiie art of printing was disl&vered! j r am happy id tiie belief that all Pedo-baatists do not bring such groundless assertions in sup-port of thett theory. . .

"That both of these words, bapto. and bap-tiio.''mean"dip, plunge, mmerse. "oS lexico-graphers and critics of any note agree,' says P r o f e s s o r S t e w a r t , a l e a r n e d P e d o - b a p t i s t d i -

w:'DL-Beecher .W,the modern champion of Pedo-baptTsni. admits.that the original and ordi- , n a r y moaning pf fiiptizo-is immerse. "Its ; or ir tna lVd primitive meaning." says he, "is 1 rt cause t6 come into a state, of being envel- I d p i d . « « irroo£d^ by a iflua « anytiiingeUo , afepted^tb pr(^n«:f ufch a result, whetiier it be ^ done ;objec a r floidi«t

aniplp is never ap plied to tiie ordinaices of baptism, any one c a o v e r i f y who is aUe to look into the passa-ge s of the Greek "Rstament, where the ordi-nance is spoken of. Now, if this observation is just, it overturnsall those speculations that ex plain the word aaapplied to baptism, by an all usion to dying. Bapto has two meanings; 6aj otizo, in the wl^le history of Greek lan-gu age, has but one; It not only signifies to dip or immerse, bu it never has any other me aning. Each of these words has its speci-fic province, into wKch the other cannot enter, while there is a conmon province in which

Either of them may

cause. One, instance, says, that the translation dipping, would be manifesUy absurd. Indeed! the HOLV SPIRIT has asserted an absurdity!

the Baptists are not necessarily bigotai and il-liberaL It is very possible they may be—at least, we will not stop to show that individuals of this character may not be found in the Bap-tist denomination; but there is nothing in their system of religion that necessarily leads to such a state of things. In aught we can see, every unregenerate individual haa tiie same right to charge the Christian with bigotry and ilUberality, for not frequenting the theatre and gaming-rooms, as Pedo-baptists have to charge the same upon the . Baptists. The Christian refuses to attend these and similar places of amusement, because in so doing he would sin against God, for the same reason that Bap-tists maintain a system of religion that re-quires them to neglect every unbaptized be-liever in their invitations to the Lord's supper A bigot is one who is blindly attached to a creed or a s e c t His whole being is absorbed in this minor object He can see no good, nor feel any interest in any thing else.

P R I N C I P L E AND P R A C T I C E .

A distinguished English writer, (not a Bap-ist) has said that the controversy between the Japtists and Pedopatists, presented the only iuestion in theology where the argument was

11 on one side. W e have frequently been emindedtof this remark, while reading the i t e w o r k o f Baptist W . Noel, r,n this subject, nd tracing the influence of the simple word .r God on^his mind, in divesting it of its prc-;idiccs'r and establishing it in the conviction hat the baptism of believers was the only tiue .nd scriptureal baptism. The solemn earn-•stness with which he mokiplies arguments :rawn from the sacred scriptures, to fortiiy

iiiinself in his impregnable posaion, together t.vith his personal example in renouncing liis infant baptism, and being immersed on his ^ v n profession, would naturally lead to tiie conclusion that he deemed the duty of making torot'ession one of no littie importance, and line, which as a faitiifi.l minister of Christ, {le would feel bound to insist upon as necessa-jry to admission to the Christian churi h, and •til au acceptable performance of Christian ob-ligations. How great then has been our sur-prize to learn from his remarks on Free Com-munion, and from an account of his practice as pastor of a professedly IJjpJist church, that he does not deem himselt called upon to make his principles a settied m!e of action in admin-istering the ordinances, and maintaining tiie order of the house of God.

A letter has just been shown us from a mem-ber of his late charge, in which it is stated that tiiree hundred and twenty of his former con^egat ion had followed hi th to John Street, and"that some others would probably do so, were it possible for thein to.obtain seats in the chapel. The letter further states, that in re-ceiving his former members,.Mr. N. takes oc-casion to bring the subject of baptism before their minds, requesting them to make it a" matter of serious consideration; but if, after doing this, they come to the conclusion that their f o r m e r baptism was valid, thia opinion dones not in the least interfere with their be-

yet she gazes still without tho power to turn awav. His eye is glazed, the death damps gather on his brow, and as his soul is being launched into an avi ful eternity, she hears him shriek (such shriek as never fell upon her mortal ear) "I 'm losti Oh God, I'm lost!" And fixing on her face a look of fiercest agony he thus reproaches her. "The fault is all your own. Your weak indulgence of my boyhood, fostered in my breast a fiend, no mortal pow-er cculd check. You sowed the seed—I go to reap the fruit. You have icrought this ruin!— yo!( have damned my soul forevermnrf!!'^ The sorrow and anguish of years seem crowded into that fearful uument; her faculties are ta.^-ed to their utmost powers of tension. She wakes—she is kneeling still by her dear child. But O how changed her feelings! She sees, sore as tiie trial is, 'tw-as sent iu mercy—and tho' she w eeps, she murmurs n o t Her heart is raised in gralitude to God that he haa taken her babe, ere crime or passion had marred tiie beauty of that stainless brow and dimpled check. One kiss the mother plants on those cold lips and soft fair hand; then turns away and treading softly, leaves the chamber of the dead. iVgain, she performs life's duties with wonted cheerfulness, and mingles in her accus-tomed haunts, unchanged to all appearance, save that her cheek is a Rhode paler, and an air of gentleness, and sweet submission, difi"u-ses itself through all her moranfcnts.

A mother's love! Who tiiat Iios never felt, can realize its fervency! When God lays hia chastening hand upon him, and removes some darling child, man grieves, and deeply too; but of the intense, the soul-unnerving anguish, which rends the mother's heart, he knows, he can know, nothing. To supply the lender babe with nouri8hmrnt,to minister to all its littie wanu, to guard it w hile it sleeps, and note its thousand witching movements, oh these are woman's tasks! and serve to bind tiie mother to her ofi"spring, by a tie no after change or cir-cumstance can sunder. And when the ob]cct of her love and care is suddenly removed, wonder not that she should mourn; for is not her hope, her all, a coined drop of her own existence, snatched away!

Oh the agony of tiie mother's heart when struggling to conquer the death-throes of its crushed afTections! How utter at times her sense of desolation!" How insupportable the loneliness of the hearth-side, unlit "by one eye of infant brightncss-runcbeered by one sound of childish prattie, and in whose balls, the echo must sleep its night of years, waiting in

The spies reported to the King, that adulis, not infants, that men, not babes, were baptized by the Waldeasian Christiaus, thtt they re-jected the mass, &.c. These were unmistak-ably Baptists.

Dr. Miller upon Jones to Perrin, Dr. M.'3 own historian. "Wm. Jones, {read Paul Perrin,] an eminent baptist, [read pedobaptist.] in his History of the Waldenses,' has so mutilated

and perverted the plainest documents of those pious witnesses of the truth, in order to make them speak the lauguage of anti-pedobaptists [read pedobaptists] as to place his character as an honest iiatorian in a most widersiraUe p o siUon!" And we can likewise return the charsearDr. Rice with the same effect.— "Here Mr. Jones [read Mr. Perrin] when he came to infojit baprism [read, found adult bap-tism onZy] wholly omitted it, and instead of saying as the author he quoted "causing their children to be baptized," [read, that adolu on-ly were baptized,] he says, observed the ordi-riance of baptism according to the primiOve church, [read he omitted the fact of adult bap-tism znifdsiHed the acrotait, by adding, ing their chUdren.to be haptisid aaarding to the primitive ciurci.'."'] And we say with Mr. K;ce,"a"more glaring falsification of history I never saw!" .\nd we further add that more reckless slanders, jre never heard'.'. Like cer-tain Methodist editors, they assert and deny: to suit their purposes of slander and detrac-tion, without taking the .pains to leaM the facts in the case. Ate!: the times upon which we are fallen!

P. S. We see thai some sensible writer in the last Advocate, repudiates his brafher, Mr. Blackwell's articles, as "mread^le and ought Bot to have cmnbered the columns of the Ad-vocate!!" Very well, we have no more to say This writer has more sense and taste than both hia editors. This is the last of Mr, Black-well's coatrovesy, we dare aay,

'9a this simple statement, the editors of the Ad-vocate, by implication, impeached our veracity, as they are wont to do, asserting or denring, reckless of the facts of the case, to answer their ends with an opponent, whose character they would destroy, but whose facts they can-not refiite.

Their language, relative to our statement, WM, "Fow, we ask the reader if he has the slightest suspicion that the editor of the Bap-tist believed he was penning the truth, when he wrote the above paragraphl"

Tha exact position of J^esa editors in the ] above, eveiy oae can see. It -is virtually charg-ing its vsOh being capabU of staling that vshich we have net the slightest suspicion is the truM! Aud this before thp,y could have had the least intimation from. Jackson, that no such report was abroad! This is only equal to their deni-al in the Slater case, without a knowledge of facts, and if it is not equal to downright falsifi-cation—it is something near akin. See Miss Opie's Work on Lying.

They now are compelled to correct them-selves. From the Advocate of last week we extract .the following:

W e had not the slightest confidence, at the time, in the truth of this statement; nor did we bf jlieve the writer i^garded it as true when ha -penned the paragraph. Since, however, we have received the following statement from an esteemed and intelligent minister of our church, dated Jackson:

"I will say in regard to the message with which I was charged to the Bishop, about (1) rebaptizing in certain cases, it was prompted by two motives, neither of which our friend Graves of ^ e Tennessee Baptist, seems, to undersUnd. One was, to obtain the sanction of high authority and general usage before we wouldventnretodoan act officially which our private judgment was against. (2) Does this look like doing anything and everything tore-tain members? (3) In the second place we regarded the individual who had requested re-baptism as under temporary excitement, pro-duced by proselyting meddlers, (4) and that a delay of a few weeks, for reflection and inqui-ry, would restore a proper balance. In this we have not been disappointed. (5) Tt may be well to remark, that some of our more pious persons were caught by die chow of liberality

' with which the reverend brother of the Baptist introduced his series of discourses, and when they were finally told by h iin to whom they had given their cbnfidence, rendered more control-inghy the interesting incidents of a revival which they had done much to promote, that they must be baptized into his death, and that too by immersion, a few, not observing the dif-ference between hia death and the death of sin spoken of in the reference, and losing sight

"of the figurative representation of this death as a crvcijixian asWellas<buriaI,were thrown inta some perplexity, about Uie tnattef. And as the station^ preScher, whose business it was to solve these ^ubts , was compelled to aban&n hi's station on account of ilV health, 'suchmatters"came before those who were not in charge, •and who cared not to assume res-ponsibiliti&in acase'that involved another's conscience. This will senre td explain why tiiis matter was ever sent to conference; and as it was'not agitated C6) i t the conference, i t M y hence be inferred how-little importance was attached to the,tiuestion. In conclusion, I am strongly reminded, by the air of triumph with which this affair was, sent out to the world, of a"pa^ge in .one of our. .favorite an-thers—'Egregiam vero laudem, et spolia atnpla tefertiatuqac pneaque tuii8.....qoa dolodiVum, si liinina vicU duomm est.'

said the Saviour, "Beware of false prophetS;

which come to you in aheep's clothing, but in-, wardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits."

Our readers may think of them as they please. We do not appropriate them all to ourself—they are meant for all Baptist minis-ters, who are "faithful in word and doctrine." The Saviour said that the words of such should be hated, and they themselves persecuted. We do confess that it is difficult to meet and repel such vindictive assaultnpon our character, and our brethren, and the cause of Christ, as these we have noticed this week without a show of severity.

does seem to convey a meaning directly op-posite to the intention of Christ, and to make hio design in usmg parables, contrary to what it really was. We appeal from the transla-tion of Calvinists to the original scripture.— We submit the following translation and com-ments to every Bible reader. "And he spake to them, [his disciples] unto you it is given to know the mystery of the Kingdom of God: [mysteries, that no one but the born again can understand; since "the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; neither can he know them, because they are spiritual-ly discerned,"] "but unto them that are with-out, [the careless impenitent, the unconverted and unbelievers,] all these things u e done in parables; that seeing, they may see and not perceive, [i. e. that the malicions and preju-diced Jews "seeing" the truth exhibited >fith-out their prqudicea being awakened by its ap-plication to them, "might see", ita justice, and not "perceive" the Saviour's des i^ , to fasten the truth upon their hearts before they rejected it,] and hearing they may bear and not under-stand, [i. e; that hearing the truth in the most instructive manner, they might hear and not understand the Saviour's design in using the parable] "if hecply!^ or if paraiventare they may be converted, and their alns forgiven them." The only question that can he rtused upon thfl translation, j s concerning that we give ^ e adverb "niegwte," which entirely changes the doctrine of the whole passage. Should bro.

Dear brother, I have seeii annonnced in yo" or paper , the death of Elder Ddke'^imbroagfa. I would here remark, tha t when my eyesflasht !d upon the announcement, th»t I 'could read i lo further for a t ime. Bygone'days'come a f res 'b to my mind; I remembered that, he was tl le first man tha t I ever heard preach the goapc I was raised np under his min i s t zy—hei^ hi m preach Jesns, I sopporo, before I could recc il-lect, and from thence down to 1839, when ' I h ea r i him for the last time. Whi le I pause d, I began to summon up my recollection, at jd think how he looked while preaching a t sue h and such places, until the old veteran soldi« sr seemed to arise before me, with h i s usual a p-pearance, as when I heard him last preach i n Millspring meeting house, Jefferson co., Ea^ .t Tennessee , in 1839. I then raised my t h o i ^ t a from earth to heaven, and I there fancied I

BKOTHU'Giuvsa : You, perhaps, recollect that tomething more

than a year t ince, a dl tcutt lon, on the lubject of bnptUro, wat held In Aberdeen Mit t , , be-tween Mr. Lattimore and Mr. Chapmaii, dur-ing which Mr. C. affirmed that " I m m r f i o n " w a t antiseriptural, and ridiculed It mors than any min i t t e r l ever heard.

A few week t Binc« three gentlemen wera il nmersed (baptized) by ths Methodiatt in Aber-dt ten. I leoro that Mr. C. was present, and n iquested the people to be tolemn—for, said he, tl l e occasion "reminded him of the days of the J Ipostles, and the banks of Jordan," Mr. C. re-q nested a local Miniater who wa t present , to a .dminister the ordinance, for he was not ez-I lerienced in that mode.

A communication sometime since appeared i Ji the " S . W . C. Advocate," over the aigna-t aire "Bethabbara," in which the writer inform-. td the editor, that he would hear of no more . Kletbpdist immersions in Aberdeen. W h o < the writer was, I do not know, (yet he loved

darkness rather than Ught,) but his prediction ia false, for the baptism above referred to, has occurred since he wrote—and that occasion was the first in [seven years, (if ever before in which Pedobaptists administered immersion publicly. Le t every Baptist miniater gird on

1 the whole armour of the Gospel, and contend I or the whole truth—and soon we shall take t be field, and the day shall be ours.

Some one gives the foUomng good advice tovr ivea:

J o s i c i o n s HIBTS TO W i V K . — N e v e r com-plain tha t your husband pores too much over the newspaper , to the ezclumon of that p l e u -ing converse w H c h you formerly enjoyed with him. Don ' t hide the paper; dou't gi ve it to the children to tear; don't be a ^ y whra the boy leaves i t a t t h e ' door, but take it pleasantly, and lay it d i w n before your spouse. Th ink wha t man -would be without a newspaper; t r ea t i t as a great agent in the w o r k o f d v i f i z a -tion, which it assuredly is, and think how much good newspapers h»ve done by exposing bad husbands and wives by giving their errors to the eye of the public.

From the Seliffioat Ark. A REPLY T O REV. JAMES M. HDRT,

Minisier of the Baptist Church in West Termusee.

m m B E R 1 3 .

Ue has next poured oat a volley of abase on me, which 1 have promised to notice in the se-quel; and then he breaks ofi" abruptly from his theme and talks about infants and attempts to show how marvellouslj' inconsistent my book is.—He says: ' -He (1) presents an organized charch, and says infiinta are by their parents to be brought into the visible church, the cburc'n uf Christ; and into covenant with God by whatsoever sign and seal he may have ap-pointed in the place of the first, which was circumcision; and as we know of no other di-vinely appointed iniiiatory, but water baptism, intimts ought to be baptized until God forbids i t . " - 'The use which bro. Hurt has for this quotation i.-!, if possible to show his readers that I 'teach the doctrine of water salvation though I am so much opposed to Campbellisra, and to make it the more clear, that I run into that sentiment, he says that:on another pa£;e I teach that "God's church is a spiritual building and I have infants in that building," and hold the final perseverance of the saints &c. Poor man, ifhe only could succeed in his underta-kings and show something like water salvation in my book, and make it appear as clear, as he has done in his own case, in his first number, who knows but that I might be permitted to commune with him on the water principle?— But the reader will perceive from the quota-tion which he, himself has given from my book, that the sentiment taught there as well as in many other.places; is, that infants arebronght into the VISIBLE tacRcn—that the relation-ship is VISIBLE and not mystical, and that while there is a mystical body as well as a visible one; that no" one of our race wheth-er. adnlt or infant is ever made "a member of the spiritual building or body, but by the bap-tism of the Spirit. This is dearly taught and well guarded throughout; and "the reader will never see more fully what kind of a man this bro. Hurt is," than by compartng his Nos. with the bot-k—thi5 being done I venture to predict that the baptists themselves will be ashamed of his productions, and wish them with his pa3ij>h!et. Look oat now fur something of in-ttre'dt!!! Bru. H . has as he says, promised to prove me a bad logician, and gives us he says, a specimen. Now flir the specimen. His os-rensible quotation is from page 108. "Christ died fbr all; there was grace for all; and the commission w-as to preach the gospel of the grace of God to all; and to baptize all, alt man-ifestly for whom there was grace; if there was no grace fiir infants, then U sesins they shall not have the sign and eeal of grace." . Herehe commences his logic as he calls it.

"The premises present a platform just broad" encash fbr the world, and Bro. Bar-row- puts o Ettie Snfiir.t on it; wliat Is tBe le-gitimate concla«ion fr'jm the premises, that he should preach to all for whom t'aere is grace; is there grace for idiots? Bro. Burrow says grace fiir al?, he Is therefore bound by his own logic to preai:h to idiots, is there grace for eight days old infants? grace for all, he must preach the gospel to such. Is there grace for wicked men?' Grace for all, he must baptize wicked men. Is there grace for the infants of unbe-lievers? Grace for all. Oh me! why does not bro. Barrow baptize all his congregation of all aize.s, colors, ages and description; lor accord-ing to his own showing, by. so doing he would bring them into covenant with God, and the Lord's promises arc sure, and in this waythey would d l get to heaven, and that by water baptism." There now. bro. Barrow is invol v-edU alas! alas!! Can any man of sense divine what all this show of wi>domis'for? If it was intended to show off Hurt, he makes hut a poor show to people of common sense. But if it was intended to prove that my position would necessarily lead to water salvation, the reader would only have to read the paragraph from which he took his garbled extract, aside

Aom what has already been said on that WAT-ER sAViocii; to see a complete refutation of all he has said. Bat the dilemma, in which he supposed he had placed me, seems to him, to be this—that I must preach to all'for whom there is grace and baptize them, in order to their salvation—his mind was so much bent on water salvation, and making sure work for eler-niry,.that it seems.ditficult for him to under-stand any one else in any ot'uer way than he understands himself—he will go to the water to make sure work of i t . But again the plain inference from his criticism, is that-he denies a possible salvation for idiots, infants iCc.. For he seems to.tiuestion -my position, which is, that there is grace for all, and a possible salva-tion for all; n^ less than he does tha preaching iSCc. Batnow forthe satisfaction of this GREAT TOCICIAS; I will say, that we may say and teach, that there is grace for all when it would not be practicable to ma'ta some foe whom there is ^ no loss a' ^ all for whotn there is grace ought to be baptiied if any one of all ought, yet it is not true that they cannot be saved. without baptiam,,nor thai impenitent adults should be baptized"be-fors they repent, nor that children are to be baptized by to whose parents are unbelievers and rejectors of Christ. At the same time it is true^that there ia grace for all and the coni-missioQ Ts to.preach to all an-1 to baptize all under proper restrictions, and if all parents were "to dp their duly they wbuU repent and be baptized, and have their house holds that are in a state of non- age baptized as Lydia: manifestly did; as I have shown elsewhere— Before I close rm this point, I must inform-the reader who has not.reiad my book, that bro, Hurts crilacism in this place has not been on my book, but onhis Xioao's BOOK; and espe ,dally on what is called^ thfe gospel commission, which says; "go ye into all the world and pr-ach ' the gospel .40 every -creature."

an impression for evil. I have followed hro. Hurt in his! ramhie on close communion, and then on infant baptism, as he has mixed a lit-tle of it,' with that subject to fill up crevices. But I shall return" and give some further thoughts on communion before I close this No. The position which I shall take is—that all who are regenerated and united to Christ by the Holy Spirit, have communion with him "by virtue of that union, and by virtue of their union with him they are united to each other, and have as good a right to commune with each other, as they have, to commune -with their Lord and master. Now if such union cannot take place without water baptism and that by immersion, then none opght to eat 01 the Lords Supper without being immersed; and for this very good reas>jn. they could not be admitted into heaven. But if souls can be, and are united to Christ by the Spirit of God, independant of water baptism, and being so united to him, would be admitted into heaven; surely they ought not, and would not, be ex-cluded from the sacramental host on earth fol* «nything which would not exclude them from heaven; for as much as heaven above is at leas'' as pure as the charch on earth. 1. Then let it be understood; that none can enter heaven without being united to Christ, for he is th<-head of the body the foundation of the entin building—the way, the truth and the Ufe; am'' none can enter heaven who are not first ingraft ed into him. 2. All such by virtue of the! union with Christ, are perfectly equal to each other, and being united to the same head they are members one of another; and have comnaun

n with their Lord and one another. This i: the Lord's doings, and it is marvelous in ou. eyes. 3. Those who are united to Christ cai have no bad conscience for communing with those who are alike united to Christ with them selves, for it is impossible that any law of Je sus Christ can be violated by so doing—this i • the fulSUing uf the whole law—love to Gor and love to man, is what the law requires, ami on these two hang ail the law and the p-ophet as Christ has said. 4 If there is any law which forbids such to commune together, it is against the law of Jesus Christ, and must bi< ot human origin and its 'endency is evil and no: good—it tends to divide that which the Lorii has joined together. 5. W e are bound to re ceive and commune with all whom the Lon' receives an communes with, and dare not re ject tbem; for if we do, we rcject Christ. C. All who are united to Christ have the Spiri of Christ, which is the spirit both of union un. communion, and so fax from having a bad con spenc • for communing with all other Chris tians; they certainly must have a bad con science for wilfully refusing to do so—and th spirit which is in them and" in the other mem bers of the body must be grieved- 7. No rea son can be offered, nor scripture produced fo refusing any one admittance to the Lord's ta b!e, which would not stand equally agains their souls salvation—such reason and scrip ture must show that they have not under th» circumstances been received by CH rist, am; that they have neither part nor lot in this grea matter, before they can be rejected.

This I think will all be admitted, and if no admitted it cannot be scriptarally and logical ly refuted. But now we come to the cri'sis- • the point to try men's souls and to call on their true sentiments; for surely no christiai would assume the fearful responsibility of re jecting such as the Lor.i had received, ami communed with, and such as would be receiv eil into Heaven. Well, why refuse to com mane with such?—what is the difficulty, wha is that great something, which outweigh; c h m l ^ communion? Is it water baptisrr and thalr-py mppi . .^^; . tjjjg jij^ bar and thr bi^h consideration fbr whicn mauy — ^ united to Christ, stand rejected at human tri-bunals, while at the trijunal, and the court of Jjesus Christ they stand justified? True OKing!!—this is the" wall which must not be broken do-v n, nor be ever leaped, for it ia said it would be a violation of the laws of Jesus Christ. I will only say that if it be a law oi Jesus Christ, he has manifestly %'iolated it himself in receiving some into his bo-som who never have been immersed, and never will be so far as we can see. And i f h e violates it. it is either not there, or it is worthless; and I feel certain that all such as are pleased with, and would follow the example of their Lord and master might feel safe in this case.

W e have come to a crisis where one of two positions must be taken. 1. That none are received by Christ and united to him as their head without immersion; or 2d—those who reject such as have been united to him and are members of his body, bat have not heen im-mersed—must admit that they are guilty of an inflection of the law and older of God's house.

If the former were assumed and immersion held as the GREAT I-IFE-GIVEB, it places mul-titudes of adults who are among the wisest and best people on earth, as well as infanta ice., on the left hand of God. But i f the latter, then the contest is over, for no one who has any just claim to Christianity would persist in a course which he himself admits to be a •vio-lation of the law and order of God's hoase; and this he must see is the case if souls are re-ceived by Christ and united to him -with-out immersion, for in such union to Christ a'\ le-gal matters must have been adjusted, and the way fuUy prepared for the communion of saints. But if the controversy is to turn on the saving influence of immersion, and I am inclined to think that this is nearest the true secret—at any rate it must be manifest to the wholis. community, that there is an undue im-portance attached to immersion by close com-munities in the general; and that water out-weighs the comcnunion of saints. And this la proven by their own expressed opinions; for they say no immersion no communion. I must however, not press this matter tod hard upon In-o. Hurt, for as much as he thinks it a war upon the Baptfst church, and not intended to convince them of an error. Before I close I give the reader one if his powerful rea-sons why the Baptist ought not to commune with pedo^haptists. H e says, "by doing so the Baptist admits the" Validity of their baf*-tismi and the Baptist church and immersion are out oTthe Tvorld," Now this thing of im-mersion being out of the world, was a sore af-fliction to him, if indeed it makes '^sirre work

.foreternity, and the souls salvation depends upon i t . " A few more remarks on the body of Christ and the agency by which ie is built up and I shall, close this number. '

Paul was, as you°know, a very , zealous minister of Jesus Christ, but never had much zeal for water baptism, though he baptized some few. He informs us how this body D£ which we have been speaking is Imilt up— ; ^'For the body is "one, and hath many memJ^rsT and all the members of that one body, heing many, are one body; so also is Christ.— For by onc.S[arit-are we alfbaptised into one body, whether we be Jews or Geatiles, wheth-

jBEPLY TO THE REV. R. B U R R O W S ^NUMBER'S, in jmtification of his Charges

"Ji^atjwi the Missionary Baptist Church, as j^iftaied in his Book and Articles.

NUMBEK 13.

•Sr-The Parson is so badly hurt that I said he ,54d infants in the spiritual building, that he IjSses it up again, and would have tbe read-CT-iielieve that I did him great injustice upon ^ t subject. ' -Now Rev. R. Burrow, do you not baptize infants on the promise made to Abraham's children? has Abraham any children now. in a'gospel sense, but spiritual children? Now ^ i s just as dead to the answer of these ques-tiops as i fhe had been buried forty moons. I d,aie you to answer those fairly, parson. No, yon can rant and say, Antiscriptural cavil, but you can't meet these questions with the half of all the Pedo-baptist world.

-The parson thinks that I am very badly dis-trMsed on account of his remarks about my Campbellism—^why my dear sir, you. are clear out ofit, yon might plague a body with such a squib as that, but I am too old, eternity is too near me in ray views and feelings to be concerned about this. I know, and you know, and every body else knows that there is no Campbellism in my language.

You say, if I could only find anything in •our writing like Cumpbellism, that I would e jileased. Well, as to that, it is there just

as plain as I could wish it—see my 1st No. on infant baptism and all you can plead by way of excuse is your inconsistency—rAi's is all par-son.

The parson says, that infants are in the vis-ible kingdon, but that they are not in the spir ituul building. Now this is strange theology to me;I can find in the sacred Scriptures, thatA-braham had twosetsorsort3ofchildren,chiIdren of the flesh who proceeded from his sons, and children of the spirit, children by faith; but reader this theologian was found out some where, that there has been a sad mistake about the family of old father Abraham; he has found out that Abraham has three sets of children in a gospel sense. He has found out that the children of the flesh are, though Paul says, that such are not, the children of Abraham.— Now parson please tell us has Abraham two sets of children now in a gospel sense. T h i

C rif'^'" "•^"'" '^ '•V'" He says when the baptists compare my

numbers with his book, and see the great in-justice done him, that they will be ashamed of me to. What, have the baptists any sense of justice? These misanthropists, tenfold in-fidels blusW!! Why parson, you forgot the part of the play which you had acted—you for-get, and put your foot in it constantly. I want the reader to notice his remarks in relation to my exposure of his logic—he says ostensible quotation is from page 108 of his book—os-tensible means PRETENDED—there he says, I pretended to quote from page 108; does he say that I did not give his language? No, he dare not say that. Why did he say ostensible? Why verily, those who did not notice particu-larly would think that I had miscjuoted him, and done him injustice. Well reader, here ia the parson's logic: I will press this^bc^d spe cimen of the parson's logical powers', upoH"ttii world again, as he thinks I am badly exposed. I will expose my by copying the

Paisnnsiiremises, ands> '-"p my criticism, page Ed- "Christ died fo^ all—there wos

parson, and you will never talk about close communion, idiots icc. He says those who ara united to Christ have no bad concience tn com-mune. This another thrust at the Bap t i s t s -do you know po.sitiveIy, Rev. Ruben Burrow, just exactly- the bounds of the christian's con-science, under all circumstances? Do you know the extent to which such consciences may be carried? You should have more seh' respect, parson, than to make such expres-. sions.

Again, he urges, that we are hound to com-mune with all whom Christ communes. Lee me give you a case: Christtells you positively, that you mast Dot commune with a fornicator. Well, a converted man takes the fornicator by hand and says every lime I take the sacramt nt it shall be -with this man, and the parson says, you must commune with him,"then you must break the laws of Christ, to obey Burrow!— Now you know, parson, that Elder Harris was willing to commune with yourchurch, but you took Allen by the hand, whom he said was a bad man; but you would not let him go, he proposed to purge the old leaven, in that case; but your church would not suffer him to do so. Have the Missionary Baptist Charch the qualifications • for communion, according to your standard as a body? are they they the children of God? Now sir, you are perfectly gagged, you cant answer for a world!!

If you say they are not, then your hypocra-cy is out. If you say they are, you cut your own throat. If you say that you dont know, you are gored to death, with the fact, that you have stated in your book to all intents, that they are not. How wretchedly this poor man has mangled himself.

He has much to say, in relation to my re-marks, about the effects of open communion, upon the Baptist Church, and would run this into Compbellism. There is a great difference between the parson and myself upon the sub-ject of baptism. While he sees very cleariy that the sacred scriptures go emphaticaly to disprove immersion, he can see^ust as clearly that the sacred scriptures prove.immersion to be a vafid Baptism; and while the parson sees the infaliable gnide, in the pouriag out of the spirit, on the day of pcntecost, and while he sees distinctly that water baptism is designed to represent, that pouring out, he can see very clearly, that though immersion is emphatically disproved in the sacred scriptures, yet he can see just as clearly, that this same immersion is emphatically proved by the sacred scriptures!!!

And he can see, too, sprinkling or pouring oaght to be practiced, and immersion abandon-ed, as he has done, because it cannot repre-sent the out poring of the spint.

Still, still, reader, this mysterious set of synx eyes of the parson, can see most clearly teat immersion does representthat pouring out of the Holy ghost—Oh tlwse eyes! those eyes.'.'! He says that I attach more importance

bai •

grace for all, and the commission was to (ireach the gospel of the grace of God to all, and to baptizeall; all manifestly for whom there was grace. If there was no grace for infants then it seems they should not have the sign of grace.

Now, reader just look at it! What is the position which the parson lays down?

1st. Christ died fur all. 2d. Therefore grace for all. 3d. Therefore preach to, and baptize all. Now, are wicked men and Idiots included

in the term all as used above? In the name of consistency and common sense, what is the matter with the man? He says, 1 ques-tion his position, and therefore teach the doc-trine of infant damnation. What did I ques-tion—that Christ died for all? I defy him to show it. Did I deny that, there was grace for all? Not a word of it true- That Christ died for all, and that there was grace f ir all, I never began to question; but your conclusion, that the gospel was to be preached to all and all to be baptiied is (to use your politeness par-son) "a consummate Antescriptural Cavil."

The parson says, that he is bound to baptize all under proper restrictions. Where do you get your "proper restrictions?" you say you are bound to baptize aU under proper restric-tions. What sort of restrictions are yours, parson, under and by which you baptize Edi-ots? just give us a little of your consumale upon this.

He says all ray complaint ia on the Lords book, and then introduces the commission.

Well now my dear sir, will you ju3» dare say that the commission involves Infants, let us hear the parson, he understands that he is to preach to infants, and he carries out his mission. Infants every one of you who repents and is baptized, shall be saved; but, infants, if you believe not you shall be damned. Is it not as plain as day-light, that the commission does not include Infants?

Now the parson will jnst procccd, upon the above, not as the result of his position, but as if i t WW my regular and proper argument.— This is his constant practice, and he is the only man whom I ever knew, that would do such'a th'mg in an argunjent.

The Parson takes up the subject of com-munion:

I will here inform the readers of the Baptist that I shall make no regular argument, on the subject, of communion, until I answer the parson's quibble; after which, I shall take u p that slibject regularly, and pedo-baptist in the country, will rarely quote—"Lei a man e i -(imint himself and so lei him eaU"

UpQ9 this subject the parson is in positive violatim of the pedo-baptist ground, and his own ^ o r y , he says: Now the position that everySegenerated soul has the right to partake at the..^crament, perfectly and entirely uncon-nected, with any and all circumstances, condi-uons or contingeucies; well, very well, is it not evident that there are multitudes of con-verted persons in the Catholic Church, the great-whore of Babylon? WtB. 'who is to judgeift.the premises, is the parsoh competent to tha^ork? , No—he cannot tell that what is the every one makes 'the decision for h i m ^ i t a n d while the Lord says "como out of of hertfty people;" Barrow says commune with her.,".-^ the Lord's people—he says all who comifi^e with their Lord are entitled to talse the ot^ance", thatis all who are created anew in C&Mt'Jesus; though they have never been baptiMdi.tire entitled to this sacred institution. If C l ^ t vrefe nbw on earth, I suppose he yrouH^FIf he ad i^ i s te red Ae affairs of bis k i h g d ^ do i t 'accoiding to the laws b r t he ^BgwjSK-and M none ate while he was here, hut^lfi|6Bptizedi-1 should conclude; that, it w o p H - W ^ again. He says .all •who are ad-•"iS^^^^heaveD, should this portion, by ne-Cfss^^onseqaenc'e, directs us ta the coaclur

batthoM who are prepared for Tfisn.cgrry putyoiir rale,

to water baptism than the baptism of the holy spirit, and he thinks I should abandon' immer-sion.

Do you think, parson Burrow, that those who believe that immersion is th.e only valid baptism, should turn away from it, merely to please other people? Where should -we be if that were the case? Of course all who are christians among us, you would have to join the Presbyterian church. I suppose you and yours would have an objection to my joining Presbyterians. Well from a late investigation of the word of God, 1 see it is said, just so clearly that I think there can be no mistake about it, that your mother denominationallv belongs or did belong to the great whore of

•g j-twtrytmi,— I will try to prove this, if tha parson will

call me out upon this subject. Keep cool par-son, ihis is a free and full investigation. I •will not say harder things of your people than you have of mine.

I tell you my dear sir. I cant give up the baptist charch, it has the constitution of the Kingdom of Heaven. 1 trace their footsteps distinctly by their blood, they have felt the rod of presbyterians, they have burnt at the stake for their opposition to infant baptism, and that under the same sort of charges which you have brought against us, but more of this hereafter.

BR MRS. SIOOTTRSET.

It is the duty of mothers to sustain the re-verses of fortune. Frequent and sudden as they have been in our own country, it is im-portant that young females should possess some employment by which they might obtain aliveUhood in case they should be reduced to the necessity of supporting themselves. AVhen families are unexpectedly reduced from afflu-ence to poverty, how pitifully contemptible it is to see the mother desponding or helpless, and permitting her daughters to embarrass those whom it is their duty to assist and cheer.

"1 have lost my whole fortune," said a mer-chant as he returned one evening to his home: "we can no longer keep our carriage. -We must leave this house. The children can no longci go to expensive schools. Yesterday I was a rich man, to-day, there is nothing I can call my own."

"Dear husband," said the wife, "we are still rich in each other and our children. Mon-ey may pass away, but God has given us a better treasure iu those active hands and lov-ing hearts.

"Dear father," said the children, "don't look so sober. W e -will help you to get a living."

" W h a t can you do,-poor things?" said he. "You shall see, you shall see," answered

several voices. " I t is a pity if we have been to school for nothing. How can the father of eight children be poor. We shall work and make you rich again."

" I shall help," said the youngest girl, hard-ly four year old. " I will not have any new things bought, and I shall sell my great doll."

The heart of the husband and father, which had sunk within his bosom like a stono, was lifted up. The sweet enthusiasm of the scene cheered him, snd his nightly prayer was like a song of praise.

They left their stately house. The servants were dinmissed. Pictures and plates, rich carpets and furniture-were sold, and she who had been mistress of the mansion, shed no tears.

" P a y every debt," said she. "let no one suf-fer through us, and_ we may be happy."

He rented a neat'cgttage, and a small piece of ground, a few miles from the city. With the aid of his sons he cultivated vegitables for the market. _ He,viewed with delight and astonishment the economy of his wife, nurtured as she had been in wealth, and'the efficiency which his daughters soon acquired under her training.

The eldestone instructedin the hoiisehold, and also assisted the younger child'ren—be-' sides, they execntcdvirious works which they had learned- as accomplishments, but which they found rjuld be disposed of to advantage. They embroidered with taste some of the or-niroental ]iarts of female apparel, which were readily sold to a merchant in this fiity. ' Thej^culrivated flowers, sent bouquets to

market in the cart that conveyed the; yegeta-b tes - they , plaited 3traw. they paiated maps, they executed plain needle-work:-Every one was at h e t post, busy and cheerfuL Tbe cot-tage was Ukeabea-hive. . • never enjoyed,«uch health; brfore,"' said

the father. '

"And I was never so happy before," said the mother.

" W e never knew how many things we could do, when we lived in the great house," said the children, "and we love eachpther a gread deal better here. You call us yon little bees."

"'Yes," repUed :he father, "and you make ijust Buch honey as the heart likes to feed on."-

Economy as well as industry was strictly observed, nothing was wasted. Nothing un-necessary was purchrsed. The eldest daugh-ter became assistant teacher in a distinguished female seminary, and the second took her place as instructress to the family.

The dwelling which had always been kept neat, they were soon able to beautify. Its con-struction was improved, and the vines and flowering trees were re-planted around it.— The merchant was happier under his woodbine covered jmrch in a summer's evening, than he had been in his showy dressing room.

" W e are now thriving and prosperous," said he, "shall we return to the city! '

"Oh no," was the unanimous reply. " L e t u s remain," said the wife* "where we

have found health and contentment." "Father ," said tbe youngest, "all we child-

ren hope you are not going to be rich again; for then," she added, "we little ones were shnr up in the nursery, and did not see much of you or mother. Now we all live together, and sister, who loves us, teaches us, and we learn to be industrious and useful. We were none of us happy when we wore rich and did not work. So father please not be a rich man any more.

Of the qualifications- of the Faculty, the Trustees deem it unnecessary to speak in de-tail, they are gentlemen eminently qualified to fill their respective stations. "Our worthy President is a man of superior talents and learning, one who is respected by all who know him; young gentlemen placed under his charge learn at once to love and obey him.— This Institution is located in Murfreesboro', a beautiful and healthy town, the county seat of Rutherford, one of the most fert'de counties in our State. Our town is noted for the good morals and intelligence of its citizens.

The courses of Study are thorough.and ex-tensive, as much so as any Institution in the Union. The Trustees have the building in rapid progress of construction, and have pro-cured suitable recitation rooms to be used un-til it Uncompleted. W e confidently believe there is no College West of the Mountains, which aSords more facility for a thorough and useful education than ours.

Board can be had in the best famiUes at from S30 to $40 per session, washing, lights &c., included. Terms of Tuition in the Preparato-ry Department, S3, Sl2, and SI6 per session, according to the class, in the College S20 and S25 per session, payment, one halfin advance and one half in the middle of the session, in every instance.

We have been liberally patronized by the public, ha\-ing last sesson 125 students, and we doubt not the number •will be greatly increas-ed, as our friends learn the advantage of boar-tiragineir sons •with lamilies of unquestiona-ble morals and intelligence, at rates so cheap.

Other Teachers will be added as the wants of the Seminary may require.

The School Rooms are the Vestry and ad-joining apartments of the First Baptist Church.

The location is central, and easy of ac-cess from all parts of the City; yet sufficient-ly retired, and happily secludedIhjm noise.

"The design of this Seminary indudes the various studies pertaining to a thorough Fe-male Education. The young ladies, who complete the regular course of studies pres-cribed, shall receive diplomas from the Teach-ers of the Institute.

Young Ladies, who may wish to review some branch of study which they have gone over, or to pursue some study to which they have not heretofore attended, can be accommo-dated. I t is proposed to form a class, for the study of Grammar and the practice of Com-position; a class for the study of the French Language; and another, for the study of tha Latin Language.

*,* Several pupils can be accommodated •K-ith boarding at the residence of Mr. Aaron Wright, nearly opposite the First , Baptist Church. Young ladies who may board there will receive the constant attention and care of the Ladies, Teachers in the Si-hool, who are members of Mr. Wright's family.

HEALTH OF MINISTERS. Beloved, I taish alicve aU things, thai I

mayest prosper, and be in Health, even as 1 prospereih.—iii. John 2.

Every minister, though not the hn Ehould know tbe building- of his owntaher "Ye are God's building." Temple of 1 Defend it from pollution. Whether or drink, do all to the glory of God.

1. Respecting food. The Chineese ei t^ and Christians hogs, which is the abomination! The flesh of the clean too, is often eaten with the blood; and 1 strangled, or fowU with necks set awiy | bloated with retained bbod, and sold i Bhambles, and set on our tables. Bisc as the hreaJ nf thR Gibeonitcs when from their ovens, is often with meitEQ accompanied with hot tea and coffee, ed mince pies, in which flour, lard, mea^ pie, spice, molasses and cider are comhij Bedlam union, and at chemical war, a: posited in the atomach, which, like Judasi must bear what is put therein, taxing iti I ers beyond its ability. The man goeth ^ Beeing rest. They take with them other spirits more wicked than themielfl Dyspeptia, Bronchitis, Jaundice, Flanfc Hypo, Melancholy, Insanity.

The Turk eats opium, tile Christian I CO. Some masticato the weed, but I w | them alone until they swallow their Job 7: 19. Others inhale the fimokB other's torment, and breathe the fumei 1 huming narcotic. I have been like Di| bottle in the smoke.—Psalm 119: 83..

Others through the nasal organ rec power, so effectual in destroying vermin. I are not lights, but inu^crs.

Bathing is better than clothing, ni ( come in with sin. Not only the inside j earthem vessel ia palatted, but the on oppressed. Many of our ministers ore 1 Into an inner prison of draper walls, their necks made fast in a stock. Pe tion is checked, respiration tardy, an injured. The form that God made bears resemblance to an interrogation j and the legs are crooked like a pare Unnatural food and redundancy of 1 are among the prime causes of ministi hility. Inilead of being sterdy oaks I np Tebellious Ahsaloras, they are pa shaken with the wind. Stand erect; ing post cannot BOftain weight like a, ] cular one.

In regard to your sleeping room, or 1 apartment, 'tis too confined. The " say Methotelih always slept in the Dr. Franklin would never add a r ~ on a cold night. I once knew a who slept under eleven thickneases. heat and pent air in a sleeping room ] •troy any constitution; whereas suitJ ering uid good ventilation will inv" invalid. 'Want of health among r ' not for want of doctors. They have

- faith in bathing than Naaman had; him, look for some great thing, hut wlj en times passed over him, the leper I leaper. Though not an advocate fo! or inaaces , I am for diverse washings.!

There is nothing in your calling to f against your {health. Exercise on hq days, is better than nightmart nigl^ opposed to long sermons i s tliei praliz pieces in the paper.—Chr' tary.

. CLUTIWC.—K sermon is like a I t may be full of large, plump peas,' have hut two or three litUe onp*.' must needs have as much Lime to 1 half full of lltUe ones, so it take* j time to hear a sermon with a few t h | one full of great thonghu. Many » | his peas to market before the po filled.
