sacrifice? Or, in other words,-If Christ's sufferings and death were received by the Father as a full equivalent for all sins, how can man's co-operation by good works be necessary to make it complete? It is here proper for me to explain that I am far, very far from wishing or intending to assert that it is of no consequence whether we perform good works or not; I only mean to ask if the gracious purposes of the Father and Son can be thwarted by the folly, blindness, or perversity of men? And whether good works can in any sense be considered as a "mean" towards our eternel salvation, in opposition to the doctrine of scripture that Christ alone is "the way, the truth, and the life," instead of a consequence of our present salvation from sin and misery" but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the spirit of our God ?' that are whole need not a physician, but they 4thly.

This odious practice is inconsistent with the character of a good citizen, because it has a direct tendency to defeat the administration of justice and destroy the security of life, liberty and property. It is inconsistent with the character of a pa triot, because it tends to demoralize and degrade us as a nation, and prepare us to pull down the fair fabric of our freedom, and yield our necks to the yoke of the despot. It is inconsistent with the character of a man of sense, for such a man will begin to doubt what is unnecessarily sworn to. It is inconsistent with the character of a man of truth, for he infist doubt his own word, who thinks it requires to be confirmed with an oath. It is inconsistent with the character of a gentlemen, because it is adopting the manners of the lowest vulgar, and an insult to every can scientious man. It is inconsistent with the character of a man of any species of religion, or sense of moral obligation, for he who will continually express his contempt for the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, his creator, preserver and benefactor, will leave his fellow men in quiet possession of their property, their lives and reputation, from motives on which it is unreasonable to place much reliance.

I admit that, on the supposition "that the scriptures teach us to believe no moral state, between the death of the body and the resurrection state," it will make no difference to us, in the resurrection state, how long we have slept in death-whether a moment, or a million of years-it would be to us then, i. e. apparently, the same, in the one case as the other; as both cases, apparently, would be, what may be termed, "death and glory." But, after all, this is not what I mean by death and glory, nor what is generally understood by the term. I mean not, what it is, or what it will be, apparently; but what it is, and will be, in reality. The difference is not so much what it will make in eternity; but what it makes on the mind of the believer, in time; and also of the difference in the moral tendency of the two systems, were the scriptures equally clear, or equally dark, on both sides of the question--which, by the way, I do not admit. I am willing also to admit, that a mind well established in virtuous habits would not easily yield to temptation, however great the inducement may be; that is, he would not be likely to do what he coccienciously believed to be wrong.

It is difficult to check a confirmed vice, or reform a corrupt age, but much may be done by parents to guard against this approach of vice. Let cards be prohibited in families ; let the rising generation have no example before them, which can excite them to this vice, or lead to this deplorable propensity; what commences merely as an amusement, terminates in ruinous attachment. It must be a family with out resources-without the charms of social converse--without a cheering fireside-without amiable intercourse-without good books, that must fly to cards to pass away the time Parents should use every rational effort to make their homes comfortable and attractive to their children.

Now I wish to ask the expounders of mystical, theology, what reason they have for believing that the wicked will be miserable in the world to come they believe that people will sin there, and if they do, why may they not be as happy in sin there, as while here on earth? tune, and we shall find but few in that class cal. Employment is the grand secret and the grand charm to ensure tranquility, good principles, and happiness; it is idleness that is the parent of vice, and the root of evil. This leading feature for determining the true religion is universal charity. A saying of Fitzjames, Bishop of Soissons, is recorded, which will stand the test, and greatly savours of real Christian candour, that We ought to regard even the Turks as our brethren." Rucine in his Discours sur L'Historie Ecclesiastique, judiciously observes that religion ought to be maintained by the same pure, gentle means which established it: preaching, accompanied by discretion and the practice of every moral virtue; and above all, as most deserving of confidence, by unbounded patience. Not less edifying is the view of religion adopted by Filangierri, when he says. "If so many martyrs had not been sacrificed to error, how many more proselytes would have been gained to truth?" He adds: "Innumerable are the turnings wherein the human intellect has With respect to gambling houses and gam-he," who is a liar and the father of lies" strayed in respect to religion, but those re blers, we believe there are legislative enact- a will he attempt to prove it a falsehood? by cords which contain the history of such awhat criterion would he do it? by the truth? berations, present us with a supplement, in If the truth should visit those regions, it great and prevailing truth, that the blood would annihilate the place!

T. F. NAPOLEON AND CANOVA. St. Chrysostom (in his 47th Homily, in Foan,) expressly declares that Christians are not to use force for the destruction of error: he gives us a very impressive and sensible idea of his candour, when he subjoins: "The arms with which we ought to contend for the salvation of man, are mildness and persuasion."
