.*. Mr. L. added ins his cordial welcome. The .
; claim to kindred was allowed. Mr. YV. was j
j told to consider himself at home.
I M. YV. then related the circumstances which i
i ierl him to adopt such an unusual course to oh- (
I tain lodgings for tiifj night. Ho had ridden in j
j the stage coach all Jay. Among the passengers j
ihere was unt one who was a professor of relig- |
i ion. Two of them kept themselves in a state of j
j intoxication all day. It was in vain that he j
jtempted to check lh tr profane ness. His heart j
j was pained during th whole dav by hearing |
i hi* Savour insulted and abused. W hen al night, i
he ciwne to tite tavern in the village, he found
! that preparations lor a bail were in progress.—
! He accordingly ‘determined to see if he could not ]

I fresh his wear, spirit l>v conmiuning on heaven- j
Iv tilings. ‘1 thank God,’said he,‘that he has
■ sent me to yout house.’
*\V e are also thankful for the same reason,’ !
j said Mr. L.
Among the themes of conversation which oc- j
j cupied Uiem till a late hour, was that of the re- i
i l.ttion of Clirisdaus to cacli other,
i ‘1 am afraid,’ said Mr. YV. ‘that Christians !
do not think enough of the fact that the}’ arc I
, blood-relations, in the sublimest sense of the
! term. I am afraid they do not love one another
i for Christ's sake as much as they ought. They I
; sustain to one another a variety of relations, |
; such as members of the same society—oecupa- j
‘) lion in the same pursuits; and these diminish
! their sense of the importance of the relation they
sustain to one another as the servants of Christ.
Tite church is in reality the most important of
all societies. It is a divine society :it is Christ’s
j soch-ty ; and membership in it ought be regard
i ed as the choicest bond that can unite men to
! gether. There ought to ho sttch a state of
things, that when we meet a church member,
we can feel that we have met a brother and a
; friend.’
‘ls not the evil of which you justly complain
owing in part, at least, to the fact, that so many
mem l)e rs of the church give no good evidence)
of piety ? If due care were taken in the adtnis- j
; sion of members, if it were well nigh certain j
\ that every professor of religion was a real chris- j
tian. would not our hearts flow out freely to- ;
wards them i”
‘There is truth in your remark, but I am j
afraid that we are, all of us, more or less prone,
in theae day - to form our attachments on oth- i
I or grounds ‘Ji tn that of likeness to Christ in
the object. We look for refinement for intel
ligence, for similarity of taste and pursuit in
those we select for our intimate friends, rather
than for Chirst’s image. Refinement, and intelli
gence, and congenial tastt-s are desirable, but
they should not be allowed to usurp Christ's
i place in our hearts. \\ e may love those who
| possess these qualities, for the sake of these
| qualities, but a higher ground of regard should
j be that included in the expression, ‘for Christ’s j
; sake.’ O. there is a world of meaning in that
expression!! Y\ oat would not a redeemed sin
ner do for Christ’s sake V
There was a solemn pause in the conversa
tion after the utterance of this remark.
‘I never love my brethren so much,’ continued
he, ‘us when I look away from them to Christ, j
I look at them and say to invself, here are some

A husband and wife are one in law—though J
! there is often any thing but unity in other mat- ;
i ters. A tnan cannot enter into legal agreement
| w ith his wife, but they often enter into disa-
I agreements which are thoroughly mutual. If
the wife be in debt before marriage, the bus- j
band in making love to the huiy has beenactu- ;
J ally courting the cognovits she may have on- j
1 tered into, and if tite wife be under an obliga- !
! tion for which she might he legally used, the \
j husband finds himself the victim of an unfor- j
tunate attachment. A wife cannot beprosecu- !
ted without the husband unless he is dead in
law ; and Laic in really enough to be the death
of any one. A husband or a wife cannot, be
witness for or against one another, though a
wife sometimes gives evidence of the bad taste i
of the husband in selecting her. — Ik Marvel's

j was taken into the cabin, and the two gentle

i got up, put on her bonnet and shawl, started
ashore, anti stopped still upon the gangway

hand approached with a barrel.
‘Outof the way there, madam,’said he.
‘How deep is the water here, sir,’ she en- i
quired.
‘Not more’n knee deep.’
‘lt wou’t do,’ said she with a sigh, which she
exhausted upon the weather-brown face of the

‘YVhy?’ the deck hand.
‘I want to drown myself. I’m persecuted.’
‘Oh!’ exclaimed the deck hand. ‘Go to - the i

Sure enough she passed around the barrel, i
walked ashore, and plunged into the water at J

Characteristic. One morning a stage coach !
drove np in front of a hotel in the city of Wheel- i
ing, containing four passengers of the ‘upper-!
tendom.’ who had paid for all the 6eats, for feat |
of being disgraced by the company of some !
plebian. A young man who was anxious to i
proceed east on pressing business, demanded a J
seat in the aforesaid coach, which was refused. !
He stated the importance of his business, but :
his pleading and explanations were to no pur- i
pose, and the’driver and passengers insolently ‘
told him he could not go. An aged gentleman j
might have been seen standing at a window in
the second story intently watching the move
ments of the parties ; being satisfied of the
cause he came down stairs, aud demanded why
the young tnan was to be left, which was, that
the seats were all taken, at which he approached
the coach and opened the door, and finding the
middle seat empty, he turned to the young man,
saying, ‘young niau, it is your right to occupy a
seat in this coach, and do it at all hazards,’
which he did, to the chagrin of the monopolists,
and proceeded on his journey. That old man
was the immortal Jackson.

Washington’s Bible—lnteresting Masonic

A verv interesting ceremony took place at a
meeting of the Ixdge of Y’irtue, held at. the
I Aibioti ll* tel, on Wednesday evening last;
when the copy of the Bible used on the occasion
of the admission of General Washington to the
order of masons, was exhibited to the brethren
assembled. After the ordinary business of the
meeting, Brother the Rev. P. C. Nicholson, L.
D., delivered the third of a course of lectures
in connection with freemasonry; and a proces
sion was then formed, and tho copy of the Bible
received with due masonic honors. There was
a very large attendance of brethren; and the
W. M. Thomas Chadwick pr sided. We sub
join extracts from a correspondence, giving ■
some particulars of the history of this (to ma- .
sons) very interesting copy of the Scriptures,
and the circumstances under which it was ex
hibited on Wednesday evening. The first ex
tract is frorr a letter from W. M. Thomas Chad

Rev. and dear sir and brother.—The very in

upon which the great General Washington was
obligated into the mysteries of Ancient Free
masonry, being in the possession of the masonic
officers of 11. M. 4tilh Regiment of Infantry,
having come to my knowledge.l shall esteem it a
favor if you, as the chaplain of the regiment here,
accompanied by the chaplain of the lodge over
which 1 have the honor to preside, and of which
you are a member, will do me the favor of pre- |
senting my fraternal regards to all the officers j
of tho regiment, who are masons, and say w hat!
delight it will give to me, and the brethren of
the Lodge of Virtue, if they will visit our lodge
on Tuesday evening next, and how much that
delight will be increased by their beagng with
them that sacred volume to which must be at
tached reminiscences most dear to every ma
sonic heart.
The following is an extract from Mr. Xiehol- i
son’s reply:
L>car brother and VV T . M.—According to your
request I this day called at Salford Barracks,
and was fortunate enough to meet with Captain
Child and Dr. Franklin, both brothers of the
46th Regiment. Captain Child immediately
produced the hallowed book, which he never
permits to be far from his sight; it having been
placed in his custody when the lodge of the 46th
Regiment was dissolved some years ago, in Hali
fax, N. S. Mv eyes were gladdened by the an
cient and venerable appearance of the bible,
twice taken in war, and carried off with the bag- :
gage of the 46th Regiment, by the enemy,— j
once, by General VVashington, in command of i
the American army, in 1777 ; and once by the j
French, at Dominica; and each time honorably i
restored to the 46th, with a military escort, col- j
ors flying, and music, borne aloft on the shoul |
ders of the enemy under a magnificent canopy.)
Captain Child and some other masonic officers
will attend our lodge next Tuesday, and Captain j
Child will bring the noble volume himself, and j
give the brethren the privilege of viewing it. •
I doubt not, dear brother, that under your pre
sidency this book of books will be received with j
true masonic honors, and a ceremonial solemniz
ed worthy of so memorable an occasion.
