Stiierdf this happy Uuioo, to give, at least once a

year, a public eipression of their gratitude to God

We hare met to-day, to thaak the Anthor of oar

mercies, for the b f es i n j s of the year.

Permit me to specify a few of the blessings which

fioold eicita our gratitude, and call forth ou;

thanksgiving.

j r i 1 . Tke preasTvalion of l i f t .

Osir days hava been p r o l o n ; ^ C there have

dioi—we live. Ani l fia w do we live? Pau l speak

i i ^ t o the Athemaus, of the God of heaven, said:

Km we live, and have our being." This Ian

'pjige is very expressive. I t dofa not merely indi-

Cita that hfe, motion, and existence came originally

baa God, but that his creatnrea noia live, a id movt-

s d have their being i n h im. Cat off from h im.

tJitre wool i be an instant abstracriou of life, and a

f Tiawjpffti): cessation of action, the evidence of life

"ffe sand in so intimate a relation to the God whi-

nada us, that we have our being in him—have D<I

edsfence apart from hitn- Hnw man i ^s t then it it

'Ûiat we are dependent on God for the p.-e=ervation

ofBfe. Daniel, the propSet, said to the impi...;

Beldiaziir, '-The God, in whose hand thy breath i.-

lagt thou not glorified." I know of no portion r

•Siptnre. which shows more cic ely than this, thi

ahsolate and constant dependence of crratares OM

Gtd. Our breath is ia his hand. Deprived of

breath, we are deprived of life. God gives us breath

u d but one breath ac a time: I t is of course op

tional mth when we shall draw oar last breath.

Ha has given ns breath during the year. W e csf

recognize him in his scriptural character aa tht

"Preserver of men." Let ns offer to him the in

canse of ota: thanksgiving for the preserratioa o'

oarGves. . "

iten it from ns. and placed "n our necks the yoke ( f

oppres-ion. Our liberty, a!".-), i.s too well re^n-'a-

led to degenerate into licentioii.=n-?''s. Let us rSer

to God thanksgiving fi.T civil liberty.

And thanksgiving is liketv:-;e due to lji:u for reli

5iou3 liberty. W e have the riiiht to espouse such

religious vievrs as wo think tho Bible anthoi-izes.

i c d to worship God as our ju-lgmcats, enlightened

tjy his wcrd, may dictate. F.>r niitty 1 .'ng and

i loomy centuries this subject vraj not uaiierstood

by gOTcmnieuts The Colonics iu Mass-chiisetts

Iind Virginia did not ur.tliTStand it. nor did .Mary-

land and P<îinsy!.tn:;i. R i;er Wiili-.ms in ihc

i f l e State of liaods l . i lanl was, acco.-d'nij to Bm-

croft. tho first man who in modern timrs asserted

the doctrine of religicxs liberty in all its pleuiiude

.He insisted that every man is r-spon-io'e to God

for his religious sc itiuiotits, and t!:at civil gOTera-

ment ha-s no right to coaie between God and the

conscience. This doctrine had been promiilêd by

the Baptists in London yeir.s befi.re, but to Khode

Island was reserved tho glory of announcing it fully

in ths atidience of the civiltzcd world, sad of first

carrying it into cSoct. Deprivation of rt-li^jioas

liberty had much to do in preparing ihe Virg-nia

tôlony for the Revolution. Cut I cannot cnlartri'.

?7e have enjoyed reli j ious liberty this year as in

former years. None h ive inter ferred with that

freedom'of the soul for which Wtiiiams so e.trnt-st-

ly contended. W e have access to an open Bible.

Neither tjrar.t nor priest has interposed to prevent

Its perusal. I t is one of tin- bright glories of these

rfited Slates that the Bible is an accessible b o o k -

its pages open, and iavi i ins cnnsuliat-on. W e have

«ajojcd the privileges of the Sanctuary during this

year. The door cf th^ temple of God has-been

wide open. W e have been permitted lo enter in

and worship tha CTir-living Jehovah. We huve

heard tha messagrs of -salvai i-on. The privileges of

the Lord's day have been ours-

ioto account our advantages, civil and n l igmus, wo

may say of tied, ia the languags of the Psalmist:

-He haih not dealt co witb any nation." We oc-

cupy a high pre-eminence among the nationsof the

"arth. We inhabit the best country in the world

The sutt shines on r.o portion of the globe so highly

ftrorcd as these .United States. Let us remember

that the many blessings wo enjoy call foudly for the

gratitude of our hearts and the thank.sgivingof our

lips. Let us.indiviihialiy say, "B l e s i i h e Lord, O

my Boal, and forget not all bis benefits." ,

But, Mr. Courtney, did j o u not a.scertain this

from iiabbi ilaitaomdes, and no', from the Sonp

tures themselve!-? I want my faith to stand alone

upon the word of God.

No. Miss Ernest, we learned it fi om the word of.

Cod itS'.-lf. I quo ed the Jewish Rabbi to satisfy

your Uudc—bicx'ise (if iie will pardon me lor say-

ing so) he s.-emed to feel that some human n-s'imo-

ry was needful to suaiam the (to biinj strange es-

scriion of tho word of God, that the supersutious

Pharisees immersed their tablea or couches, and

themselves, but we had abundant proof wiinout the

R.bbi '8 testimony.

What was it, Mr. Courtney ?—picase call it to my

mind again. The Bible argument is all that 1 care

to remember.

You ere right. Miss E.-aest—it is all you need to

remember—you know we have on former occasions

determined the meaniag of the word baptism, by

a variety of methenls. We found it to b« iuimer-

£ioa or dipping. ' Now, j e u r Uncle admitted this,

so far as rega.-ds cil ut'w books but l ie A'ctu Testa-

ment. Here ha can- eivtd ik might have a new sig

that it did, for the fact that a tluug may possibij:

W h . n we take I'ês immersed their taUes and lx.-ds, (for the woro

No, no, Mr C-ourtnoy, the New TtKtamcnt mean

ing of the word-is the very point in uisp-.itc. 1

shall not allow you to beg the question on the ve-y

position about which we are at issue.

I did not intend, nor do I desire, to do eny such

thing. I t is no begging of the question to objec

to your mode of settling it. This wonJ was useii

hundreds of years before Luke wrote this bonk.—

Its meaning was aa well B.ted a-ad dtCm-d as thai

of any. word in the Greek lang iaf" . L ik.i was

writing to those who read and spoke and unil r

stood this lanjn»5te (and this word amoiic the rc.st

in its ordinary sense, according to the fitniltar every

d»7 usage of the people who employed it.

W e agree, and no critic or s-tholar of any note

has ever denied that the common familiar raeania

of this wcrd was to immerse, submerge, to dip -

This we hivts proved. But now we want to kr.ow

in what sense Luke employs it I snswfr that the

presumption is, that he employs it ju.st as every

other wr.ter doer, for if he docs not, nobody wili

understand what he means. He must use words in.

the sense that Other people use them, or other people

will not know what he means—but as ha wishes to

l.>o understood, and writes under the inspiration of

infinite wisdom, he wiU use words thus. I f tins

word, therefore, commonly and familiarly meant to

immerse, then i t was imtaer-iioti that be meant whoa

he used the word. To this you reply that in s m e

cases It ftevit more prol/aUe that Bometliing else

was done and not the act which this word det crib-. s

ind you will therefore make it mean just what you

ihink is mu* to havB*takeh place I obji -t

Deah BEOTHKa (luAVEs:—I write to ascertain your views as to the proprie^ of ordaining colored Lêacims to officiate in the distribution of the l pre<l elements among their own members. Oar cAred membership is very strung, numbering over^llj in-cluding both churchs- Liberty and llE.-neasant. We generally preach to them in the evening, after tha white nongrcgation has dispersed, and on sacra-mental occasions the deuxns remain with me and aid in the administration of the Lcrd"3 Supper. One of the deacons, however, lives some distance fitm the chnrch. and if there be no impropriety in it, we would prefer oruaining deacons among them for this speiial work. 1 know some haôbjcctrd to it, but I see no good reason why. If it be right tliat they should be allowed their preachcrs, I .«cc no objection to their deacons. For, whatever ob-jection could be urged against the lawfulness of the one, seems to me must and will apply to the other.

[ hope you will give us. your vicw^ as some of tha brethiTO in our valley are opposed to it. We wiJi to •ct advisedly, remembering the admonition. "Lay hands suddenly on no man.'^

Yon will do us the favor to give your reply thiough the '-TeBnessee Baptist.''

Oak Callage, Alabama. IlEii.LaEa.—"We Und the above among the in-

creasins pile of queries, which we have nrither the rimn nor ability to answer satisfactorily, to the pro-ptiunders. We suppose our private opinion only is songht aa a matter of curiosity; and therefore, as we have time, we may occasionally give it.

Touching dcacons and the elements, our opinion k this. The deaconship never waa created for the purpose of passing round the bread and wine trcci-/y, as in primitive times, or monthly, or quarterly, as with us; nor has it been continued for any such aervice. We do not suppose that the first deacon* ever did this, nor do we suppose that it is any part of the duties of deacons to do it now; if so, the S.riptures arc sileut. The minister who oihcialcs at ths table may distribute the emblems among the members, with appropnate remarks, and this doubt-less-wouhJ render the occasion one of the most im-pressive character. Or ho may call upon any mem-bers, the elder and more pious would be the most suitable.

With our views of the duties of dcacons, we can see no necessity of ordaining colored deacons to Ois-Iribate the emblems. The minister should do this himself, as we should, or he may call upon any member to assist him.

RgPBiSBSTATrvs ViOMSH, from Eve the wife of the first, to Mary, the mother of the second Adam. By Geo. C. Baldwin, D. D. New York: Sheldon, Lamport i Blakeman. This volume consists of a series of sketches ong-

hially delivered as lectnres by the author, when lastor of the Baptist Chnrch, Troy, New York. The characters described are those of Eve, Sarah, Eabecca, Jochebed, Minam, Ruth. Endor's Witch, .\bigail, Sheba's Queen, E-ither, Elizabeth, and Slary, and each is considered as the representative of a daas. The facts of the Scripture narrative are skiliVilly selected and grouped together so as to form vivid and life-like pictures, and the nural les.sons taoght by each, are clearly and impressively set fbrth. The style is ornate and somewhat poetical, and the whole is pervaded by a spirit of sincere piety The author tells ua that '-their dt-livery was followed by a predous and extensive revival of re-ligion.-'' and we trust their perusal will be similarly blessed to hundreds.—Tnu Union.

Oiff sisters wiU read this work with great pleas-ure and prcflL They mnst certainly wish to see it, and aid in its circulation. We wish to give away one thousand copies for two thousand new subscrib-ers to the Teimessce Baptist. Any sister sending us fira snbscribera shall receive a copy by mail, past-paid.

bo used as a manual by tho class of persons fhr whom it is intended, with great profit. It states clearly the_ rules which, according to established pariiamentaiy usage, should govern dehberative as-semblies—furnishes a great amomt of useful in-formation to debatmg soceties,' together with a hst of questions for discitssion, and some fbrms of a con-stitution and by-laws, which can be employed as models. Last, and not least, it contains the Con-stitution of the United States, with which every American citizen should be familiar; together with the proceedings of the convention that formed it, &J.—inftanation, which itself is worth more than tha price of theSôme.

quotes from the Discipline, he u>cs that of Is.Vl instead of the previous one—lf "ni. Th ' f i -t, ef which I suppose he is ignoran'. is tlirj following;— Some two months past the Rev. Uayues Lennon.of the Baptist Church, jiuhlished a card iu the liil.li cal Eecorder, re.juesting the Baptists to read the. Iron Wheel, and compare its quot-itions with the Discipline of 1S50. becduse, after Graves byik was given to the printer, the Mefh<jdij.t l.'onferenee met and made foriii fro alteratioas in the Discipline.— So, if the Doctor should write a'îtn, 1 wi.uli sug-gest th athe make his quotations from the Disci-pline of 185<J.

3. "While 1 am well pleased wiih the strictures from Dr. Doub, save a.s noii.-ed, there is a matter in regard to the ejfecfs to be produced by the Iwok that I cannot so readily subscribe to. 1 uiclme to tho opinion that it will injure the cause of (-'hrist; and if so, it must injure Methodism, because we cannot separate Methodism from the cause of Chr st. But this is not the poii:t to which attention, in ihis article, is intended to be directed, but to the inference draira by the Kev. Doctor, '-That it will do an immense amo-jnt of good." That which does -aa immense amount of good'" must be good, or one of the esublished laws of philosophy must be repealed. That law is, '-The cause is known by its effect.-' But there is a cause that' "docs an im-mense amount ..f good;" therefore, the cause roust be good. But the Doctor pronoances ' nine-tenths of the allegations in this book (If'At'f) arc equally as false as those I have.'just noticed."' Header, make the application. Oar Savior said; "By their fruits ye shall know them." This rule is the .same as that given above. If we are to know them by their fruits, u d their fruit is -an immense amoimt of good," does it not &Ilow that the -tree is good.'"" "A good tree cannot bring forth evd fruit, neither con a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit ' Then from tho Doctor's inference wc find the rule rever-sed—And a very "corrupt tree"'—a book with nine-tcnlhs of its allegations," "bringing forth good fruit," or doing an immense amount of good. Let us form the Doctor's argument into a syllogism. That which produces an immense amoît of good must b e g ^ ; hut the Great Iron Wheel produces an mmenae amount of good: therefore,.the Ore'at Iron W h e d mtist be good. The'conclusion is that the i n f e t m e diawn by the Doctor is wrong—is cot jMtifiibto-firoBi Its prcmiies.

ti'm: frsl , because it might tend to cacfusion, and s-condly, because it would probably rather inter-r-jpt than promote friendship. Seeing, in most caBea, as It reypccts the intercourse between man and man too m'jch familiarity often ends in strife. We slwuld be more likely to continue in peace •with a ncighbiir, whom •wc treated •with du ant rrs^ct due a neighbw, than if wc were to introduce him to our domestic concoms. < • < • < • Sieadfastness in oarv own pi-iiKaple-s, and charity towards those of othei^ are not: inconsistent with each other,"' *

It can be fcen from the above that t l ^ Polpit and Aisociatiotial atlilhation and commtmioa irith Pcdobiptists is a late tiling, and if continued ia will prove a randcra's bgx to cur dcnominatitm.

I endorse the ophjcn of Elder J. -S. Baker, than '•-V uj. I ' "hom no man ia our raglis is worthier of rcspect:

' W i II.VVK l.UtT IIORE THAN IVK HAVE liAISSD, IT Assocr^'nos AMM-o-orKr.,vTinN ivnn PKOouAmsTa."

These facts sabmittcd ere s-ufficieut to show the footsti'i's of our fjrefatlier.s, when tbeir history" could be trac'.'d by blood and j,.crsecution—when their iianies were last out for nought, ^

Let t'ur eh;ir--hcs of this ngv decide who arc seek-ing to introiluce new prsctirrs, who arc attempting t-j break d',)wn the old lamlinarks and lead than rwa}- from the old paths, fho.' c who would intro-duce this new phase of open communion—this re-cognizing human societies as gospel churches, by inviting tlieir ministers into our pulpits, and rcccit-iug thuir baptisms as valid, and calling them onr bi-elhri-n in writmg and conversation, or those who in the fuco of bitter scorn and the fires of the ia-quiwtion of pubhc opinion, bold forth tbe old time-worn. f'lrs-scathed banner, g'.owing with the inscrip-tion of the martyrs'! ^ J, R, Gn*VKs,

the term arise from the fact tha t the iitor.U meaning of baptize is to immerse.

P*t,8. having referred to the baptism of the I sraeSto Mentioned by Paul in his first Epi,!-tle to the Corinthians, conies back to the " g o s p e l s " and tells us on pp. C-J, 85, about the " washing ( m t h e original iaitlLsmon) of cups and pots, and brazen ves.sels, and of ta-bles ;" Mark vii, 4, He insists that these things were washed " before every meal ," be-fore the Jews ate," i c . Hence, he ar2;iu-s the impossibility of their immersion. Mark does not say ^ a t t h i s washin;; took place " be-fore every H e does not fell u,s how often the Jejrj|iiifMhcd their vessels. He Icfs us know that they washed their hands bsfor^, they ate. This was their every d i y pc.<ctice. This wasljiag is denoted tlie Oreel: verb nipto. "And when they came front the mar-et, except they wash (Greek they cat not." To My that and iu^firo are sy-nonymous in this connection, is absurd. We learn from nifto what Ihe Jews did before every meal—•we Icam h w d t w t i z o what fhey did when they retnined from'market, where they gi=iier«lly came into contact with Gentiles whosa toucb they considered pollution. T o free tbemseht:} from thi» polluuon, thev per-formed the act of ianpersion. Heneo , ' Mark uses fnpHzo in descrftiny'wh.it they did aAer returning from B at we r e p ^ t thai it U not saad how oftea " r e w e l s " wtre washed primmersed. "What Dr. S . says about this is

enio cy indeed. Their oajle-eyed animo,=ity could de-tect no ll.H\v in hi; life, but all this mpi and perse-cution were poured u[ina him bccau.ie he prcEc'i ed to them -fesus and the resnrrcction.

.-\cis 27; Q-'i ' Wherefore, rirs. be of goci cheer, for I tx-licve God that it shall be even as u was tola mo."' The tempest Jiowled, the sea roarcl, and destniction seemed inevitable, bm Pjul was calm, for he believed the mcssace thnt God li«d sent him: his confidence in God relieved him of all fear. Lie did not doubt that God would save his own life tin.l give him the twohun-lred and seventy-six souls that were with him in the ship. Faith in f io-i makes us calm under all the vi'cisiiudc=, in all the .itorms and trials of life. " Acto28: 24, ' And .some believed the things which

twrc spoken and some .Klieved not." This has been the case wLerever the gospt-l has been faith-fuUy X>rcached. Some give heed to if. and enter the way cf life, while oihtrs reject it, and perish in their 8in,s, That any reject go reasonable, so gra-60US a plan, is an abidmg endencc of the deep de-pravity of tho hnman heart.

Eotnans 1: 8, '-Fu^t, I thank my God that your fhith is spc'ken throughout the w h i e wtrld." Min-isters have cau.se of devout gratitude to God when tho churches are walking in faith«nd in tho eon-fort of the Holy Spirit, When Christiiins are in the exeiv;isa,of a living faith, they are sure to make i n impressToa on ths •world around them.'

What the descendants of the. e WaUenses con-sidered as "outwardly" departing from anti-Christ, we learn even after Lather, and Calvin, and Henry "V III, had ELt up their divisions or kingdoms, the leaders and rulers of whidi demand that we con-sider and recognize as Churches of Christ.

f-il r.r neglect to prcclaiui i" to the worM? Such WIS not the case in the gc.oJ cU iliys of lI•.thodi. rJ-Vre'i do I remembeir when the pastors of the L iivirch had the zeal and faithfulness to declare t;:e whole caundl uf God fully and fearlessly, and then the lambs of the llock were cared for and provided for.

But alasl those days are gone. Not a noi'.- is now heard from tha walls of our Zioc. warning the peo-ple of the neglect of tiiii duty- M-t::y has K'cn the day fiwe onr eyes were bles.'ied with the ji^ht at this interesting careiuony. I fear thci-o is soaie-tbing radically wrong when car children, these dear pledges of God's love to us, are thus leit to the covcnacted mercies cf God.

But to the point in question: First, our Savior says (Slark loth and 14j, •'•Siifter the little children to come unto rae and forbid them not.'' Now, we ask, were the parents of those children members of the Church? We think not, because it is not sa-d tSat certain disdples brought tiicm: but on the con-trary the disciples rebuked these who brought them, and this would cot likely have been the case had thoy been members cf the church.

True, our Savior did not baptise them, nor was it fcr that purpose thnt they were bro'ighl; yet this passage is'generally relied up.:.u ai a EufE.;ieat war-rant fur their admission. In the absence of 1 scrip-tural prohibition cr restriction, wo think this pas-sage fully justiSes the mini.~ter of our church ia baptizing all who arc brcu^h: to lljem fjr that pur-pose.

TO hope ia a privilege, a duty, and a consolation.

But hopes are often delusive atti fleeting ai- -h? niormug doud. To hope iu Ood is the especiiil j.iy of Iho Christian. To this he is welcomed with no uncertain invitation, and in it he is bl^êd with ni) delusive joy. My soul hope thou in G-j.!'. Ij.'jin-ble as it is that we exercise lliis privilege i,f tUt Christian, bow often do we f»il to do ii!

It seems easy to hope when all is sunshine and gladness, and joy and pro-iipcrity; but there arc other scenes besides scenes of gladncia m the Chris-tian's life—other emotions besides emotions of joy in the Christian's bosom—other conditions besides conditions of prosperity in the Chrirtian's course— and then, as it becomes needful, so it sometimes be-comes difficult to hope in God.

How foolish to remove our shoes because the path is thorny I IIow unwise to cast away our arnio -because the foe is at hand! Still we arc oRen guil-ty of this ful!>:

There are timc.s when we meet with adnrsii-j. as | • did Job; when the bands of the Sibeans, ilit ho;.!s ' '' " of the Chaldeans, and the fire of God teem to sweep I every thing away; when riches plume their win.;-, j for flight as an eagle towards heaven; and then ii ' nches have been our hope, we are left hopeless, but i if our treasures arc iu heaven ani our hearts are there also, we smile at the departure of our eanlilv all, knowing that ia heaven we Lave a Utter end enduring substance. We may rejoice that our brightest treasures are untoucheil by the sp^lir's hand, and while the worldling may lament hi.-i tnis-fortunes, the Christian can still hope m God.

There arc times of poi'er(i). when -uvo uMies' are all the '-living"—when there is but a • hm iail of meal in the barrel'' and a -little oil in the a-.isi and, all this while some one stands l-e 'jii j for a portion of that which remains—aud then, while heaven is shut and earth is barren, it re'i'iircs grac and strength to believe that the me?l =haU rot waste, nor the cruse be emptied, till rain from hca- j vcn supply onr needs and teach us auii-I famine an.l distress to hope in God.

There are times of temptation, when tl.a enemy comes in like a flood. •When everj- evil passion sevius unchained, and like llie fierce ten : i ' 1 . r es sweeping over the mind, shipwreckir- lurnv a -v tl resolution, and driving peace ai.d joy f om '.lir ! p-som, and then when foes are Cerje.iuJ cur sf, r. -'l is weakness, we find it difGcult to hope i'l Go'J, a id thus hold fast our faith and our integi-ity, and in -.'.o midst of the dark aud trying scc-.ie rct.i' n:n ' T!!'.-ing confidence in God our Maker, e ho -ivL • : in the nl^ht

There are times of bcreaveraerj, wLi n li"-* !i i.: .i treausures are torn away—when Rachi 1 nf iu ' t-i be comforted, as she weeps for her childreii—wh.n the mourners go about the streets—when h lue seems like home no longer, and when tha chair vacant, the cradle empty, and the trcasur-.- poel .\nd then it requires a contidenco which wc du n t always posses.-!, to enable us to feel lli.it -1 •-• L' : I has L4lv.n it away, and to bless Us holy n-ime a-..! continue to hope in his mercy.

There arc times of sore trial. Our de.T.rest idols must be taken from us, we must endure ih0 strok ; from the hand of Ilim who ' scoiirgeth t very -- i.n that he receiveth''—Moriah must be a.se •ndc-! -Isaac mast be ofiered up—faith must nrrve tlic trembling hand to deeds from which nature bhrniiss. and bles.sed is he who endureth all. Uappy i. b who, having gained the victory, can make the place of his trial a perpetual memorial of his trust, i nJ can call the hill of sacrafice "Jehovah jireb,"—-the Lord will provide!"

Hope thou in Godi Never shall he di .ai f^l'.it thy confidence or cause thee to repent thy tra.,t-Ile shall cover thee with his buckier- He -.Im'.I en-compass you with his eve.'la.<tin :: a.-nn Ills uughty power shall uphold thee, and his never- | faiUng wisdom shall direct thy pa-Las. H: .-hai; j deliver thee iu six troubles, and noi. firsahe l!.ee n j the seventh. j

Hope thou in G.od! la the hour cf si .-kni-.ss Ir j shall smooth the bed of p: in, and grant tliee ne. iT- i I failing consolation. In the agonies of death, he , shall be with thcc and uphold thy shrinking <p!:;:. and with his rod and staff shall comfort thee. -\nii in the day of judgment, when amid its glwtny grandeur, all of human hopes shall lUo away, -W;-.' shall lay any thing to the chargc of God's clc.t: It IS God that justifieth, wjo is he tliat C'.>ndeina-eth!"'

Hope thou in God! Chnstiaa, let tliy tru«', be here. Wanderer—prodigal—return to the plenty of thy father's house. Sinner, come homo to Christ I | The Spirit and the bride invite. The waters of life ' are flowing freely for thee. Whosoever \\i!l. let him come. O, cast aside thy worldly hopes —give all for Christ—come to him with a trustin; an i obedient heart, and you shall share his rich grace and his everlasting glory. Hape tliou in Ciiris;.

E T" The Germans have produced some very ex-cellent remedies for various diseases. Among which may bo specified "Dr. HooUand's Celebrated B.t-ters," for sale by C. M. Jackson, and used wi i:i remarkable success in Liver Cumjilaint. Jaundice, Dyspepsia. Nervous Debihtyand a general derange-ment of the Stomach. The Sunday Dispatch says of this medicine:

"We feel convinced, that in the use of the Ger-man Bitters the patient does cot become debilitated but constantly gains strength and vigor to the frame —a fact worAy of consideration- The Bitters are pleasant in taste and in smell, and can be adminis-tered under any circumstances, to the most delicate stomach. Indeed they can be used by ail persons with the most jierfect safety. It would be well f..r those who are much affected in the nervous .system to commence -with one teaspoonful or less and grad-ually increase. We speak from cxpenence, and arc, of course, a proper judge. The press, far und wide, have united in recommending the German Bitters, and to tbeafBicted we mobt cordially adtise their use-"' Sec advertisement.

it ia'tme, anii the truth ahonM bind man to

be the dog's prolector and friend.

The A m ncan brig Cecilia, Cspt. Svromes,

on one of her voyai^*, had on bo ird a splea

did spc-cimpn of ths Newfoundland breed,

nametl K«poleon, an«l his magniScent size and

priiponions, his intellifjent head, brond white

chtst, white feet, and white tipped inil. the rest

ot hts glO'sy body bfing hlnck, mide him a*

beautiful 41 his peer Mi nami-sake, who, no

J..nbi, -irould hare b<en proud uj p -ssesi him.

He was owned by a seanun name;! Ltncas

ter. who was naturally enough extremely fond

uf him.

C»pt. Symme*. howeTer, was not partial to

animals of any kind; and had an unaccountable

ami special repugntnce to do.;s. so much bo,

indeed, as if all his ancestors had died of hy-

d'opnubia. and he dreaded to be bitten like his

unfur unSle pr» decessors.

This dislike be ono d ly developed in a tnost

shocking manner, for as Napo-'con had M-vernl

itnes entered his room, and by waggini; hii

great banner of a tail, knocked paper and ink

otf hii dei-k, on the next occ ision the Capuin

seized a kt.ife and cut half of the poor ani-

m d's tail off.

The dog's y.ell brought his master to the

pot, and teeing th* calamity and the attthor

•if it, without a momen*.'i«hrMtatioQ, he felled

Ciptain Symmes to lht» cabin floor tTtlh a

slrdge hammer blow.'^rbich. had iiliiuhe tem-

ple, would haTB forever prevented the Captain

iriitn cuftitig off any more dogi' tails

Ther result was. that Lar.C'ister was put into

irons, from which, however, he wan S'lon releas-

ed. CaptaitSymme" pir ly re;-cnied his ciuel

deed, on learning that Napuleua had oucu

saved the owner's life.

Tbe »hiie shark, a.s all my nsuiicarfriend<

arif well Hware, is one of the very Ur^st of

hnrk". It averiges over twenty, "and 1 h <ve

seen one iKenty-seven and a h>tlf fi-et in

1 Uiih. It is ^cnemlly consider, d to be the

fiercest and mosi formidable of »ll ^hal 3

But a few itHys eUp-ed alter the catasiriphe

•jf poor N-poleon ere ho Lvcame ihe Lero of a

nf»t thrilling oceurrence, the very thought o:

»hcb h-is often thiilied mo with horror.—

[luring the interval, the noble beast was not

at all tiackward in ezl.ihiting his wrath at the

I'sptain by low growU-when l;e approiched.

In Tain did the mu-ti r, fenrful of ihe lifo

df'the do^, cs«ay to check the sigm of bis

a.nger. Captain Skmmes, however, made the

alluwiinoe he should, and offered no odier harm

u> him.

On« morning as the Captain was standing

on the bowsprit, he lost his foo ing, and feil

iVFtboard, thu Cecilia then running about ten

knot*.

•• Man overboard 1 Ciiptain Symmes over-

board !" was the cry, and ail rushed to get out

ttis bolt as they saw the swimmer striking out

ur ihe brig, which was at ouce rounded to;

and as they felt especiiHy apprehensive on

tccount of the white sharks in those waters,

shey regarded his situation with the mostpaia-

ul solicitude.

By the time the boat touched the wattr,

their worst fears were realized, ."or a*, some dis-

Lince beyond the swimmer, they behel I ad-

vene ng uponhitn the fish mostdreadcd in ihobe

K-a'ers.

Hurry ! hurry, men ! or we sh il! be too

I lie I" exclaimed tbe ma'e. " What 8 that ?"

The spla-h that cau-ed this inquiry wis oc-

ca>ioned by ihe plunge of Napoleon into the

-ea, the noble animal having been wa'chin-,f

ihe cWse of the tumult from the bow of the

vessel. He Iiad noticed the Captain's fiil and

the shout, and for a few m imeats had vented

h s feelings in deep growls, as if consc;oa« ot

he peril of his late enemy and gradtied at it.

His growls, however, were soon changed

nto those whines of sympathy w'aich so o'tr-n

how the aitachmcnt of dog tj m^n, when thi

{alter is in danger. At last he plunged, and

r-p dly maktpg his way to the now nearly ei-

hitualed Captain, who, aware of his double dan-

ger, and being bnt a passable swimmer, made

•ainter and fainter strobes, while his adteraarv

closed raoidly upon him.

• Poll boys, for dear life 1" was the shout of

ihe mve. as the boat now followed the dog,

*ho3e huge limbs propelled him gallantly to

the scene of danger

Slowly the fatigued swimmer made his way,

»hilt: ever and anon his body was above the

waves, and behind him the back of the vora-

rjious animal told what fearful progress he was

•nuking while Lancaster in the bow of the boat

-tood with a knife ia hia upraised hand, watch

ing alternately the Cnptain and his pursuer,

ind the f'lithiul animal who had saved his o»n

ife " Great Qoi! whit a swimmer!" exclaim

-d the men who marked the speed of the fplen-

lid animal. " The sbark will have one or

-Mjth, if we don't do our best I"

Tbe scene was of short durab'on. Ere the

*ioat could overuke he dog, the enormous

ihark had arrived within three oars' length of

.'he Captam, and suddenly turned over on his

back, preparatory to darting on the sinking man,

:ind receiving him in his vait j tws, which now

ilisplayed their rows of long triangular teeth.

The wild abriek of the Captain announced

fhat the crisis had come. Bat now Napoleon, as

f in-pired with increased strength, had also-

arrived, and with a fearfnl howl leip'd upon

the gleiming belly of the shark, anJ buried

hia_ teeth in iha monsier's flesh, while the boat

iwiftly Beared ihem.

• Saved'. if we're half as smart as that dog

!" cried ihe ma'e, as all saw the voracious

monster shndderin tbe «ea, and smarting wiib

jam, turoeJ over agnin, tbe do^ retaining his

hold and becoming engaged ni the water.

At this juDCtnre fê b^t arrived, and Lan-

Ciiattr, bis knile in his teeth, plunged into the

water where the Captain had also sank from

view.

Bat a few moments elapsed ert the dog rose

•X ihe surface, and soon after, Lancaster with

Lhe in-snsible feet of ihe Captain.

•• Pull them in, and give' me an oar !" cried

the mate, " for that lellow is preparing for an-

other launch.'"

His orders were obeyed, and the second

onset of the marioe monster was foiled by the

maTe'a splashing water in his eyes, as be came

again, and but a few seconds too late to snap

otf .the CapUin's legs, while his body was

drawn mto the boat.

Foiled IV second time, the shark passed the

boar, plunged, and was seen no more, bnt left

a track of blood on the sttrfaca of the water,

a tokea of the severity of bis wounds from

Napoleon.

'he boat was now pnHing towards the brig,

and not many hours elapsed before the Cap-

tain was on deck again, feeble from his efforts,

but_ able to appreciate the. services of our

canine hero, and moat bitterly to lament his

own cruel act which had mutilated him for-

ever.

" I w6oldgive my right arm 1" he exclaim-

ed u he pttted the Newfoundland who stoo-l

by his side, " iMeoald only repair the injury

1 have done to that spUidid fellow. Lancaa-

ter, yon are bow fully avenged, and so is he.

ariBOst Christiaa Teogeance it is, though

!lp«ai b » a itaree of gnef to me as long as 1

fore recorded of the devouon and bravery of

this noble anima!:

" A great sen'-ation has been ciusid in lue

camp of the allies by t* e heroic d-e.-is of a

dog belonging to Capt. Mattrtan. of ihe 73d

regiment of the line. On the 16 hof August,

duriai; the ba'tle of ilie Tclieiima. the quad-

ruped broke bis chuin, fonghi ia tiie rank" of

the army, taved the life of n rg>-:>nt an.i a

soldier, and took three Russi-ins prisoners.—

A ball struck his foot, but tSe wound only

embittered the animal ihe more. He c' rtw

himself upon a Russian ollii-er, llung hitu to

the ground, and drag^'. d hiic pri>i ner by lii

collir to tbe French. Aplu^;.i^n h^sbouiv'

Dr. Sammera refers to Hebrews, is; 10. .i-H

insists that the phrase "dixers w.i-h (in

tbe original divertb-ipiisms) proves sprin k

ling is baptism. Uis re-i o.-n. i; 's vir.'

markable He af5rms ti at " kIi pre-ump

'•.If the blood of bulls ni d a'.s, nn I the »sl e"

attentive reader of Ite Pent-iteurh knows that

the purifications hera allude'l to nere etl' -cted

by aspersion oraffu ion. as ih- Apost'e affirms,

and these sprinklings he c ills bnpihms. • •

* * • The baptism of Levi' es. of leprous

persons, and of ihe whjle con jr-'g a ion of

Israel, was by sprinkl ng." pp. 79, BO T'hi"

IS strange logic. First, we h ive •• | r Fump-

tions" in favor of aaWon or pourimr, th-n

" positive proofs," and these " po i ive proo's"

establish sprinkling I I'ourlnif and spr nklin"

are not the same act, and how " positive pr o »"

of I'prtnkliijg deBes conipr-hension VV« denv

that Paul Calls "fprinUiin.'" " bap'i'm a-

Dr. 8 affirms. Lei him either pr .ve bis a<'=er

tion or retract it. VVe deny that the cprmk

linrj of water on -Levite!:," ' icpron^ person ."

or the " whole congreij-'tion ol Ismel " s ever

in the Scriptures denominate! b^pti m. Ii

baptiimos in Hebrews is. 1 0 , means si r nk'ini;,

how is it that Paul in the same chapier u.-f

rariiizo three times to den .te the a of »p ink

ling? That he dofsem. 'oy ruvt'zrj'm thi- senê

no one denies. Now, if ba/iti-mnt in tlie 1 0 h

verse (a r erivative of baptizo) -.i Ti'fies sp j. k-

ling, was it necessary for ihe Ap )aile in suhse

quent verses to select a diff-rent word t.i ex

press the same idea? Surely not. Heselecied

a different word because hein end,d o con-

vey a different idea. The '• various baptisms"

of Dr. S. are various immersions I' we can

show that various immersions were pnctic-d

under the Mosaic economy every candi I man

will say that tbe sprinklings of that econo

my are not of necessity inclu led in the various

baptisms. In the bo' k of Leviticus, cliap'er

ji. certain "unrl,>aa" anima's arc men ioned,

and it.is said in verse 32. " And upon whi'so

ever any of them, when they are de<d, doih

fall, it shall be unclean ; whether it be any ves-

sel of wood, orraiment. or skin or sack, wh-t

soever vessel it b-, wherein any work is doce.

it mustiepttJ info irater," 4c In the S-ptua

giot, hapa is used, and the literal renderin^r

of tbe GreeK would be "s/'cll It Sipped iuto viater." This leâlat'tft of the U * of Mos—

provides for various iiumersion-?. In ihe *v

chapter of Leviiicas the phrase " buhe m wa-

ter" is found eleven limes. H-re art o hf-r

immersions, and in'Numbers sxii. 23, it is

said, "every thing that may ao de t' e fir>-,

ye shall make it go tnrongh the fire, and i'

shall be clean : nevenheless it shall be purified

with the water of sepiraiion—and all t'la'. abid-

deth not the fire^ye sh ll tnake g'-, H^rough teh

waler." W e may now ask if tliere were noi

<Kê||immeTsions under the Mosaic dispen ion ?

iêTe/in»an immersion i f many persons, and

pfjm^^ thing", and therefore ihere were many

mmâoos . But enough. - He that is not ion
