Being educated in the Kiug of Egypt’s lainily, tie was taught all which the priest aud wise men ol the countiykuew; arid his attach ment to his own nation, the descendants of Abraham, would lead him to study their history. He lived about 800 years alter the deluge of Noah, and about 400 later than Abraham. The Hebrews were descendants of Sheni, and the Egyptians and CanaaniteS from Ham. The'posterity of tlie ialter soonest settled in cities, and thus be came inventors of • the ; arts of- life.— The posterity of the other were tillers of the earth; or keepers of sheep aud cattle,'and therefore lived 'mare scat- terep and insulated. The mode of life of these was more favorable to virtue and rejigiom The long lives of the early generations of. men served to haqd down events by tradition with more accuracy. And what other means they had of preserving them, we are not now able to say. The Egyptians used hieroglyphics in Mo ses’ time, no doubt. Tlipre is no ac count of alphabetic writing bciore Moses, unless an allusion be made to it in Job. But that book Was proba bly written by Moses, during the forty years he was in the land of Midiau.— Whetheralphabeticwritmgwasknown by the Autedeluvians, and by Nouli was coinmviuicatcd to his descendants, can only be ^ a matter, df conjecture. Great events might be handed down from Noah to Abraham by only one inierveningperson.and that was Sheni who lived 500 years after the flo id. And from Abraham, or from Jacob, to Moses, two intervening persous might be suffi. ient. In Midian, the southwest part of Arabia, wherb Mo ses passed lorty years in retirement, the patriarchal life continued; and the ancient men with whom Moses was there acquainted, rio doubt, had a correct knowledge of events in that part ofthe world from the time oftiie flood. Moses, then, =wb perceive, would be able to give a correct account of the deluge, and ofthe preservation of Noah; of events after tiiat catastrophe; of attempts to build Babel; ofihe de- descendants pi Noaji; of the separate migrations and spread of his posterity; and of the lives of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. His account of creation,' or of the present foVihalion and settle ment of the earth, he might have re- ; ceived from the ancient men, whom extracts made and presen ed of all that was’most Important. Some ofthe unimportant- chronicles might not nave been copied or preserved. A few bonks or records are certainly l»>st. Ezra was probably also the wri ter of the book of Either, ns well as of that bearing his name. And by him after the return from the Babylonian captivity, the older books weire col lected; arranged and copied; for pre- seryation. Neheiniah wrote the book which bears his name ; or left materi als lor it, which were perfected by Si mon, a pious and learned Jew of a little later period. Ezra or Neheniiah, probable the former also collected or arranged the prophetical books,ex cepting Malachi, who wrote it at a subsequent period, whose book..of prophecies might have been' written by himself a:.a by Simon before men tioned. These books, it is generally- supposed, and there is no reason to doubt it, were received by the Jews and called the scriptures in the time of our Saviour. They were ‘read in the synagogues every sabbath day,’ and were appealed to as authority in regard to the history ofthe nation, the rites and forms of their religion and to the advent, character, and doct rides of the Messiah, or Christ. Nearly three hundred years before Christ, the sacred books were rendered into Greek at Alexandria in Egypt. And this version was known and use at the time of our Lord and his apostles. The Jews being settled in various parts of the extensive Roman empire, the knowledge of the wr.tings of the Old Testament was no doubt a jquired by many Gentiles, who thuse became acquainted with the Jewish religion. the fathers - of that church; -Having answered the> inquiries, the bishop confessed himself satisfied, and placed .on her head a chaplet of white roses, as an emblem ofthe purity of her in- tentiens, add 1 also• conceding to her other-five years as a further, proba tionary course ere she could take-the irrevocable,.V<*w./.

The bishop then placed upon each of them a crown of thorns, and gave them a missal and a crucifix. The holy eucharist was next administered in the usual form of the Romish chUrch, after which the nuns retired to the nave of the chapel, bowed themselves prngtrate on the ground, and were covered with a large black pall,having a white figure of the cross upon it, ana supported at the corners by tour of tlie superious nuns.
