It often takes good men a i long time to learn, that the enjoyments of religi~n are 'to be found in doing its duties rather than i~ speculating about its doctrines, Yet ncitl;i~g is lmore true, or more ,learly proven by Christi~n experience. The following extract from the IVprks of Andt'ew Fu!. IeI' of Kettering, furnishes a !happyillustration of this truth :- '

STUDY .oF TII~ BIBLE. Much is said at the preseqt day about the ex·

cellence of the Bible, and strenuous efforts are making to disseminate the brlOk through' our o~n country and foreign lands. ! Yet the observation which we have had oppurtupity to make, leads us to doubt wnether the w ritteIj word is as carefully and prl\yerfully studied by ;Christians as in some former ages of the world. ~n such matters it is easy to deceive one '-5 self. :It is qustomary' for evangelical Christians to read the Bible daily, and the custom canllot he too Ilighly commended rir too earnestly enjoined.' ,

But the daily reading ofihe word aoes' -not ne­cessarily embrace the study of the truth.', A man may read and not think; or he may think and not pray; or he may think and' pray, anil straightway forget both tlie thought and the prayer. To feed upon the truth, he must take time to meditate; he must retain in memo ty, and frequently recall, and try his thoughts and actions by wh~t he has read.. And thii must be done not occasionally, but habitually. The very tone Rnd temper of his' mind will thus be. come assimilated ,tn the trulh. He will grow in grace a.s well as in knowledge. His temper will become of a heavenly sweetness, and occasionally his soul. will be lified up' within him as if he were in the chariots of A'minidab. .

100 THE SABBATH RECORDER.

ij!~t 9abbat~ _£corba. ,

NEW YORK. MARCH 13, 1845.

THE DEAF AND DUMB. The Now York Institute for the Instruction of

the Deaf and Dumb, situated near this city, is said ,to be in a very flourishing condition. An exhibi.

================= tion was held on the 8th inst., at which the schol· ars 'evinced as great an average d~velopment of intellect as would be found among scholars of like ages in the common schools and academies of the country. The personal appearance of the pupils, and their freedom from that animal look which is so common to uninstructed mutes, was a gratifying feature of the exhibition. This institution has been in existence about 25 years. Its income in 1844 waS nearly $25,000, of which $18,490 was from the State, and the remainder from pupils and the proceeds of wor~e number of pupils is 185, of whom the State_ srlpports 128, the city la, New Jersey 3 i 11 are ~pported by their friends, nnd 12 by the funds of the institution. The pupils are taught industry as well as letters. For this purpose shoe.making, book.binding, cabinet·mak· ing, and tailori~g, are extensively carried on, so that each attendant is taught some honorable way of obtaining a livelihood when he goes into the world. By this means educated mutes become no longer burdens upon society, but skillful and use. ful members of it. Happy would it be if provi8ion were made sufficiently extensive to accomotlate the whole eleven hundred mutes in this State.

LEGISLATION IN FAVOR OF SUNDAY. It will be seen, by reference to the proqeedings

of the New York Legislature in. another column, that prayer has again been made to that body in

. behalf of closing the canallqcks on Sunday, and that the Canal Commitlee has reported in ravor of granting the prayer. It would be un· c~aritable, and perhaps unjust, to impugn the m0-

tives of the persons who have srnt up this re­quest, since they doubtless believe they are doiDg God ,-ervice u well as themselves. But while we would not impugn their motives, we must serious· ly doubt their wisdom. Indeed, we b'elieve ' that the leading Conventions upon the subject, which have been h'!!ld within a year past, have d'ecided that in the existing stat,e of public sentiment, it is impolitic to invoke legislative aid, to sanctify the first day of the week. Be that as it may, we think there are weighty objections to such a cours~, which ought to deter every real friend of the sabbatic institution from giving it his sanc­tion.

• THE PULPIT AND THE PRESS.

Foremost among the objections to invoking Ie gislative aid in favor of Sunday, we place the p1'inciple which it allmc8, that the aid of civil law is nece33ary to give ifect to divine law. Our Sa· viour put a veto up?n this rrinciple, when he de" In the early ages of the Christian Church) roli· clared that his kingdom was not of this world. gious instruction was conveyed chiefly by means His Apostles did the ~ame by maintaining thtt of preaching and personal conversation. [n later they ought to obey God rather than man. And tImes, however, the press has opene<\ a new medi· the best representatives of Ihe Apostles from that urn of communication with the popular mind, day to this, have claimed that human legislation which ought not to be overlooked. Of the com­in favor of any specific religious duty, was h~rt. parative merits of these two agencies, it were per· ful rather than helpful. It is only when the spirit haps unwisc to speak with confidence, since they of true piety has given place to formalism and would be differently estimated by different individ· worldliness, that Christians have felt it necessary uals, and might each have their advantages in par· to lean upon the arm of the civil law. The his. ticnlar districts-of country or conditions of society, tory of the church shows plainly enough, that in For this reason they ought to go hand in hand, every 'instance where they have done so, the re~ and to be regarded as equally praiseworthy and suit has been only evil. This would be true up- honorable means otcarrying on the Christian war· on the supposition that tlie observance of the first fare. If so regarded, one would contribute mo~t dar of the week was really enjoined by the divine effectually to the success of the other, and they la~. But when we consider that the case is very would together form an almost impassable barrier different-that the claims of the first day to divine to the spread of error. appointment arA doubted by many, and positively' It may be said, in favor of the instructions of the denied by not a, few-the danger becomes slill pulpit, that they are better adapted to young and greater. If Jhe principle of legislating in favor of uncultivated minds than are the instructions of the the religious opinions of a majority be allowed in press. The living preacher can easily simplify this case, who can tell In how mar;Iy other cases his expositions of the truth to meet the capacities it wilL bc applied 1 It might lead to legislation in and condition of his hearers. He can thus often favor of Iteeping Friday, should that notion be- give a new beauty and force to familiar thoughts, come popular; or against keeping any Sabbath at and bring them to bear upon the heart so as to all, should the advocates of the' no-Sabbath doc· produce their natural effect. In addition to this, trine happen to gain the ascendancy. We are there is much in the address, the voice, the gesture heartily opposed to allowing a principle which or the preacher, as well as in the influence of an is liable t6 such applications., assembly of worshipers, whic,h is calculated to give

A second objection to, invoking legisfative aid effect to th~ t.ruth orally .presented.

One of ~ts principal advan· them, they cou1d do nothing towards securing that tages over the pulpit is the wide range of its influ· regard for the institution which it justly claims- -ence. A preacher 'of the Gospel may gather a regard which would make men call it "a de. around him a few hundreds, and speak to them light, the holy of the Lord, honorable."

A third objection to invoking legislative aid in is almost,indestrut:tible, the influence of which it favor of Sunday, is, that such legislation 'Would is impossible to lestimate.

, MR. POLK'I!! REGARD FOR SUNDAy.-On his way to Washington, Mr. Rollt was unexpectedly detained, so that he reached Wheeling on Sunday morning instead of Saturday evening as lie intrnd· ed. Hereupon some of the papers read him long homilies about the evils of desecrating Ihe Sunday. But whe?n his first Sunday ill Washinglon came, l\rh. Pollt gave directions at the bar that he should receive no visitors thereon; and straightway Ihis fact is trumpeted abroad as an evidence of I he new Presidem's devout regartl for that day. Mr Polk's explanation of the matter is simply that it neither comports with his convenience nor inclina· tion to trayel or receive company on Sunday. It is difficult for us to conceive how these letter· writing wiseacres can discern in the above facts such portentous or hopeful omens as they pretend.

• THE SANDWlCH- ~IsJ.ANDs.-The annual letter

from missionaries at these islands has been receiv·' ed. It is twen,ty·five years since the mission was planted, and t'wo of the first missionaries are still living. Thirty thousand converts have heen ad­mitted to the churches, of whom more than one thousand were admitted dudng the last year. 'rhe progress of civilization is encouraging, anl bar. barism is giving way before it. An imporlant ob­ject of the mission now is to raise up a class of men qualified to take the lead in the affairs of the Church and the State. A school bas been esta b­lished to educate the child ren of the chiefs, ami other arrangements made to promote general edu· cation. The churches manifest a growing inter· est in supporting the institution3 of the Gospel. The intelligence, though not so animating as in some former years, is yet quite encouraging.

• MISSIONARIES FROM TARlTJ.-The London Pat.

riot says that· a party of missiona ries who left Ta· biti on account of Ihe outrages of the French, had reached London. They came by the wa y of Val. paraiso, and numbNed in all eighteen. Several efficient missionaries remained on the island when thry left. Probably the missionary ship John Williams has call£'d there ere this to leave are. infor.cen\ent from England. When the returned missionaries left, the island was in II state of en. tire disorg'anization, almost the whole nati~e popu, lation having taken to their places of natural dr. fenoe in the mountains. The Queen, with her family and attendants, were in 'the fastnesses of Raiatea, firmly resolved 10 accept no alternative between the full resoration of her rights and the worst doom to which she could Le consigned. The transactions at Tahiti will make a dark page on the history of French naval exoloits.

RELIGION IN TEXAs.-It appears from the cor, respondence of the New OI'leans Protestant, that the Romanists are making great efforts to obtain a foothold in Texas, and that considerable num. bers of emigrants are pouring in from the papal countries of Europe. This fact has made the Pro· leslams quite solicitous 10 have the colporteur system i:nroduced into Texas. Several individ. uals have made liberal offers to secure it. The Pres. byterians have severa) churches in different parts of the country, which are said to be in a tolera. bly prosperous condition, though in need of more ministerial aid_ They have also two or three schools. The Melhodist Church bas a flouri,hing school at San Augustine, and another literary in· stitution of some years Manding at Rutersville, in the west. There are nearly fifty Sunday Schools in the Republic, and 'the number might be easily increased if the requisite books could be obtained

• HONG KONG, CH1NA,-The Missionary Maga .

zine for March contains an interesting account of Ihe state of religious feeling at Hong Kong. Un. del' d!lte of July 8, Mr. Shuck says that a revival is going on in his Chinese congregations, without stir or bustle, but in which it is evident that the Spirit of God' is moving upon the hearls of between twenty and thirty individuals. Twelve Chinese converts had be~n baptized, one of whom in particu­lar had proved himself an able and worthy man. The causr of the Master in that place seems to be onward.

Henrietta Hall, wife of Rev. J. L. Shuck, Mis· sionary of the American Baptist Board, died at Hong Kong on the 27th of November. She was an excellent woman, and has left a family of five children. The European Police solicited the pri. vilege of bearing her remains to the grave.

• BAPTIST MISSION BOARD AND SLAVEltv.-Again

this Board has been applied to from Alabama for an unequivocal answer to the question whether a slaveholder could be appointed as a Missionary. The Board has replied in a long and very candid letter, containing the following passage, which will probably be regarde'd as sufficiently defi. nite~-

~ording to the commandment." When the Sab. , It .is to. be feared that Ch:istians have at.tached bath is past, and the first day of -the week has too httle Importance to the aid of the press III pro· commenced, they naturally wish to go on their moting religious objects.

But the Legislature is asked to pass a law strong arm of unblushing infidelity, and the me which virtually requires them to wait another day dium for the more refined, but not less dangerous, for their neighhors to rest.

"Should YOll say, 'the above remarks are not sufficiently explicit; we wish distinctly to know, whether the Board would or would not appoint a slaveholder as a missionary j'-before directly replying to this we would say, that in the thirty years in which the Board has existed, no slave· holder, to our knowledge, has applied to be a mis­sionary. And, as we send out no domestics or servants, such an event as a missionary taking slaves with hi~, were it morally right, could nol ill accordance with all our past arrangements or present plans, possiblv occur. 1£, however, any one should offer hims;lf as a missionary, having slaves, and should insist on retaining them as his property, we could not appoint him.

• Fur the Sabbath Recorder. D

MISSIONARY INTELLIGENCE-ELD. AZOR ESTEE. In a communication published in the Recorder

some time since, I gave a brief sketch of a few weeks of miSSIOnary labor. At the date of that co~mu· nication, I was at Ephrata, Pa. I was received with great cordiality by my German Sevelith-dav Baptist brethren in that place, and formed a very ple!lsing acquaintance with them. They manifest­ed an interest in the mission in which I was en· gaged, and a readiness to co·operate with our de­nomination in promoting the cause of truth.

Leaving ~ph~ata, I p~rsued my journey to Lan· caster, WhIle In that cIty I conversed with seve· ral clergymen and other p~ofessional men on the subject of the Sabbath. In many instances' the pl'Ospect appeared encouraging that the truth as presented by conversation and by means of tracts would exert a salutary influence IIpon the mind. One Baptist brother, after I had conversed with him Some time on t~e subject, became much inter· ested) purchased some of the publications and when, he received them observed that perhaps a careful examination, of them' might result in caus· ing to become a Seventh·daji Baptist. I conversed with ~everal families of Jews,'and they all appear· ed to manifest a deep interes~ in th~ Sabbath cause. One of them remarked,,that, it appeared certain to him that Jews were rigHt in relalion to the day they kept for the Sabbath. He then asked me if Jesus Christ had not himself said that he came not to destroy the In w or the prophets. I answered in the a~rmative; and when I, repeated the passage to whIch he referred, he observed that he had sup­posed the object of Jesus Christ was to make things better and not worse, and that no good eould result from either an abrogation or a change o~the f?~rt~ com!nandmen~. I tarried during the mght WIth a famIly of Jews, and was treated with much kindness and hospitality. This individual who invited me to stop with him observed to me, that if a reform could be brougot about in relation to the Sabbath, he would cheerfUlly pavone hun· dred dollars. He expressed the hope that I might be successful in the accomplishment of the object of my mission, and politely invited me, if I ever came to Lancaster again, to tall on him anc! make his hOllse my home as long as I wished to stay in the city. !

From Lancaster I pursued my way to Gettys­burg, and stopped for a few:days with Br. Samuel Fahnestock. He and his family treated me with great kindness and hospitality. Br. Fahne~tock manifested his interest in missionary cause by giving twenty·fi\'e dollars aid the Missionary Association ill its ope and so constituted himself a life member of the

man and inquired if the pfiiv~lege could be obtained of holding a meeting idl the Lutheran meeting· !, house that evening. As ~_: p'revious appointment had been made for that evbning he could not grant the p~ivilege. In the course of the conversation he expressed an unwillingness that the subjec\ should be discussed in. that' place, .assigning as ~ I reason, ,that the first day was not kept or regrrr~d.. " jas sacredly as it should bp , and he, feared if the stranger spoke on the subject the in'finence woul~ be to diminish the regard which the people at pr;~. srnt had for the day. He expressed a desire, how· ever, to see the stranger, and requested that' L ' should call on him. After th,ll arrangements were made where, to hold the meeting, I was introduced to the !Jutheran clergyman agreeablyta his T~qu.est. When he informed me that he had beeu mvlted and was expected soon 'to preach in the Presbyii. '. rian ,Church on the subject of the Sabbath, and that his object was to urge the better observance o( Sunday, I was not surprised that he should regret to ha\'e the attention of the com~unity c_alIed to a eonsideration of our arguments in favor'ofkeeping the 'original Sahbath, and against the idea of re­garding the first day of the week as holy time. II remarked to him that I could symllathize with him in the pain which' he experienced., when he saw people secularizing the first day, of the week i that in one part of my life, I \u!d similar feelings, and was greatly distressed at rhe increasing disregard of what I considered to be God's, holy day. I in· form,ed him that by endeavorin~, io convince a ' man of sin for laboring on the first day of the week I was led into an examination of this question. I then ,presented the reasons which influenced' my mind anti resulted'.in a change of principle and practice. He listened to a relation of my experi: ence with apparent interest, and express~d a desire to receive our publications, that he might examine the arguments in support of our sentiments on this subjp.ct, Having very pleasantly talk.ed with this man about two hours on the subjeect, !lnd sanvass· ed the conflicting theories in relation to~{he \lues· tion; I furnished him with publicati09s1 to ehable him to pu~sue the investigation. As' I took my lea ve o( him, he 'expressed a desire to hear me pr~ach' on the .subject, nnd were it not fo~ the ap' pOIntment preVIOusly made he would attend.- -III the evening I preached, having in thl! congrega· tion some of the principal .men in the village. Ther,e were several lawyers and students of Jaw, as well as other professional men, present. After the discourse, a strong rlbsire was manifested to ob­tain the publications, and: the village was well sup­plied-. In conversing with one lawyer_on tbe sub· jec,t, he remarked, that he could perceive no more reason, from any thing the Bible had said on the sllbject,/or selecting the first day of. the wee~ for the Sabbath than for selecting the thIrd, or fourth, or either of the working days. I have no I doubt' the truth presented in tha~ village by the disGPurse delivered and publicatiol)s distributed, 'Will result in much good.

I WIIS among them several days, found the p~ople anx~olls to I~arn ollr reasons for heping the ori. ginal Sabbath, and I gratified ,them by preaching several times on the subject.

THE NORTHERN WINTER. . I love it-though: ita very name doth send

.An iceberg to your heart. The qUIckened breath, T~e impatient shrug, and the iIl-stified sigh, Forestall the word. Yet judge it not, T pray you, By these fierce winds that sweep the bare brown heath, Aa if enraged at their own impotence To change the landscape'S face. They have been wont, In hyperborean climes, to steal away Among the hills, and through the forest boughs, Tossing the snow wreatbs, even as a cbild " Sends up the Bummer flowers. Thence, truant like, From his cold cbambers, the storm-spirit comes Careering o'er the waste. True to the 80ul Of 8ociallife, he has a sigh for each, And a new mode for every snowy fold In winter's ample cloak. Yet this recedes As he hastes onward, with a growing rage

The pro­found silence which reigned in the apartment, and the constant dropping of the fountains, had so extraordinary an effect on the brain of the poor patient, that all his vital energies were soon gone, although before a very strong man, and he died without having lost a drop of blood.

• THE PILOT'S EXPERIENCE.

ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY.-At a late meeting of the Society of Arts, held in London, a paper on a~ atmosp~eric railway, invf'nled by Mr. Pilbrow, CIVIl Engmeer, was read. It is thus described: A pipe 01' tube is laid in the earth midway be­tw~en the rails, and secured to wo~rlen sleeper~, at mtervals of about thirty feet, and fixed to boxes cast on to the tube on each side: m each box ,orks a vertical spindle or axis, to which are fixed ~w~ small cog-wheels or pinions, Ihe one being mSlde the box and the other outside. A dia­phragm or piston works within the tube as in the o~i.ginal atmospheric railway tube; but 10 the piston IS attached a rack, so that when the piston is moved by the exhaustion of the tube in fronl of the piston, the rack is moved WIth it: and Ihat, acting upon two or more of the lower or under pinions, oauses the upper pinions to revolve at the same time, and with the same velOCity. A second rack, of the ~ame length as that within the tube, is attached 10 the first oarriage j and, as the up der pinions revol ve, the rack, and conseq uentl y. Ihe carriage to which it is altached, moves wilh it. Thus Ihe longitudinal valve required in Sa. muda's rail way IS dispensed with.

The indented image of some youthful hero, Knight of the satchel, wrought in base-relief Upon the driven heaps.

A pilot relating his experience in Cincinnati, said, " My home had become a domestic hell. I drank all I could get, and for three weeks had not once been home to my family without being Ill­

toxicated. Of course I was always ready for a quarrel. I went one night to a Washingtonian meeting. I was sober-l listened to what was said. My heart leaped for joy at the hope that I might be ~eformed, and I Signed the pledge. I went home to my family i I took a seat but said nothing. I observed a frown on the face of my wife, as if she expected abuse as usual. But pre­sently the cloud cleared away, and after observing me for some I1me she inCJ.ulred, 'Husband, are you sick ~ what is the matter with you l' 'No,' I saId, , I am not sick. 1 have been to the Washingtoman temperance meeting, and have signed the pledge' In Ii moment, (sa\(l the pilot,) all the Wife was up in her bosom. She clasped me around Ihe neel, with her arms, and I thought she would have abo solutely smothered me with her kisses."

THE CHIEF QUALITY REQUIRED IN A SOLDlER.­It is health of body-phYSical strength, that en­ables man to endure the hardships of Ihe lented field. It is the good condition of the animal thaI enables him to fight. We need mere macilines for the ranks of the army. To obey IS the only duty. Forward is the command. SuffiCient intellect to load and fire a musket is all that is wan led j the number killed is the test of merit. A well-train. ed horse is often more val uable than a score of men with souls!

Dr. Warren recently delivere~ a lecture on di­gestion. The following remarks, on the use of tobacco, differ from the commonly received notion:

"Tobacco is among the most powerful narcotic substances we are acquainted with; a very small portion of it, as even a decoction of the eighth of an ounce, has been known to prove immediately fatal Its influence on the stomach IS highly de· bilitat~n&, i .it directly lowers the ~one of this organ, and dlmlmshes all its healthv actIons. Every way in which tobllcco IS employed has this effect i the practice of chewing in a much greater degree than others, since a greater quantity of the deleterious sub­stance is introduced into the, body. "
