Phot, xxvii. 27. From the days of ©rigen, (in tho second century,) to lie present, ii has been fashiona ble to scripturalizo the scriptures, and to tench men that they have a meaning besides what is expressed. Many to this day, think tbo scriptures have p doublo sense—what is said, ami what is meant. A man ibat could find p spiritual meaning to Sampson's bee-hive, jaw bone, and tbo t,lit of ilireu bundled foxes, con. elected with fire-brands, could doubtless find n spiritual meaning to our text. What could it be? wo will suppose it to bo tins:— 1. The person addressed must mean n min ister of modern times, to whom it is said,— "And thou shall have goal’s milk euougb,’ &C * -v 2. His household and maidens must signify In the spiritual sense, his family and domes tics. 3. Tho gouts must mean the non-clect, who are in the end to be eternally miserable, alter feeding the minister and family for lifer, accord ing lo Matt. per. &c. 4. The goal’s milk, in the spiritual sense of the text, which is represented as being abun- . dant, must mean tho generous and constant support, which theso ministers, their children and servants, have received from (lie non- elect, or such as are declared to be of that uumber, who do so well for their otrncis here, and who aro to bo treated so cruelly hereaf ter. ' 5 Wo will allow that the three first positions uro so plain, that they need no illustration, nnd proceed to provo the truth of tho fourth partic ular:—" Thou shall have goat's milk enough." It is a fact beyond all dispute, that those wiioaro considered the unconverted, or onn-clfict, aro generally depended on for the support of such as have forycars boon considered ministers ot the gospel. The meeting-houses are chiefly built with money which belonged to such as are denominated goats; and were it not for this part of the people, what a poor condition the sheep'would be ini It is a curiosity toseo the manner by which the goal!* milk is obtained-ah.' -c.yn'.r'/dcffj.'kwjw Money is wanted to make the parson a lifo«;-H member of the Bible Society;—the goats must be milked, and aoon the ladies pioduce tho mor ney. A pious young man presents himself, as one colled into tho ministry, but is not ablu to obtain an honorable education at Wa/cruti/r, Providence, or Cambridge. Milk the goats is the next .step:—men, womqn aod children are called up, aud the help is stripped from them, aod the pjons young man .has goat’s milk .enough. Missionaries are needed among the heathen in Vermont, Maine and Rhode Island. Thu goats are milked again, and the missionaries spread their fame in all directions. A bro ther clergyman is dismissed “because no mail has hired him;” the goats are milked, and ho is on a mission at twenty or fifty dollars por month. A mission is agreed on to Asia, and the goafs are resorted to, who support tho funds for twenty-four rears; at lust, all fails; and what next? Mr. Ward appears; uud tells tbu own ers of the goats, nothiug cau bu done unless u college is built in Asia, aud some uf the natives made ministers.-—The goats aro called up, aud ten thousand dollars are collected,—when riiU is done, they an- driven off to teed on the bills, until another milking limo returns, when their empty pails are again presented, to bo replen ished from the same source. Theso milking vesseb aro placed wherever the goals are likely to resort—as u» the bureau, on the merchant's counter in tho Museum—lur this purpose, to milk out tho nbuudunce of these miicii kine. They have drawn front tho goats, money, hats, shoes, sockings, shirts aod gowns, sweetmeats, aud other luxuries, with .Missionary fields, corn, potatoes, cabbages pumpkins, Ac, Ac. All these have been done, in addition to stripping for watch-seals, and tho estate of old bachelors and maids, when death shall put at& •nd to their warns. According to modern pulpit doctrine, theso poor goats are to bo rewarded for all tbeii milk, (to good for (lie eiaci,) with a portion with dev il* aod damned souls, iu eternal misery, where they shall see the "very elect," w ho wore fod upon their milk, ond by it nourished uud pre pared forglory everlasting.— Universaiist Mag azine. African Springs.—Aletierfrom Dr. Oudc- noy, one uf the explorers of Africa, dated at Mourzouk, June 6, 1822, ami addressed to Prof. Joliuson, gives the following iaformuttoa respecting the sources of water in Fe*«n:— “I have voxiously searched lor springs, but have found none fit for an accurate result.— The wholo country is « spring, if I may uso tlio expression, for water comes bubliug up on digging a few feet; its temperature then is affect ed by the earth, and the heat indicated is of uo use in ascertaining the mean temperature of the place, aud consequently its elevation.— The abundance of water in a country in which rain scatcely ever falls, and in wbiclt them is no .dew, is a curious and interesting circum stance to the philosophic inquirer. It is not genet tied in tho earth, and it canaot b« supli- ed by tire sea. From whence then does it come? it it from tho tropical rams? or is it from river? lost in the earth? The supply is constant, and those will yield as much at one time as another. Tho supposition that appears mast probsblu to -me is, that the eooutries to the southward are much higher than this; that during the rainy season water penetrates a considerable way in to the earth, till it meets with gtrau rasottjsg its farther decent, and thea that >' fl rtaW ftfvng these like « rider to far .(Defeat «rantri*» *.
