G U1GG A ELLIOTT’S series of common school rea-
tiers, Nos 1. 2. 3, mid 4. heing the best series of
school reading books ever presented to the schools iu Geor-
gia.
Also—Dr. Ruschenbcrger'* series of first books of Natu
ral History, comprising Anatomy nnd Pby>{• Atigy, Mamma
logy. Ornithology, lch'lij'nl>py. and Herpetology. Ento

It is not saying loo tuuh or these hooks, that they-are the
best, npon the *nhj*rls of which tliey treat, that have ever
been pretin rrd for tlm use of schools.
A knowledge oftlie tneriisof tlmsehooks will insure tlie’r I
introduction tit the schools throughout Georgia. The inirn- J
. iluction of new am) valuable hnoss into nur acbools, always |

able school Imbks are to be found iu almost every country j
town in the State.
Of the very many recommendations, we have received we
pre.ent the tollowing from Rev. Mr. Heinati:
Slit:—Having with cave examined the "new series of
readers for schools.” published by Messrs Grigg Sc Elliott,
wifoui hesitation. I give it as tny opinion that they are ex
cellent honks, well adapted to the purposes f.r which they
are designed ami as a whole decidedly stipe, ior to any
thing of the kind I have seen.
I have also examined Dr. Rusrhenhergcr’s "First B*»nk
oT Natural History (except the 8th number) with great plea
sure. and cau most cordially recommend these little volumes
to teachers, as eminently calculated to interest and instruct
their pupils iu the subjects of which.

Ojr dear old Qprn Law's doom is castl

Who could starve and carve poot folks lib* her.
But, clear old damsel, they wrong heraadly,
'T was all by law she behaved so badly;
And God forbid, whate’er the evont.

Wrongs tlone by Act of Parliament.

And all for what? that each abiVtless oaf

And fees in tail will be cut off for sale.
And all will sink by a sliding scale—,

How fair and lovely iu her virgin leaf
Yon b)u.-.biug rose — tbe queen of every flower—
Breathes her sweet spirit in the summer hour.
Ami seems to mourn her bright reign is so brief;
Ob! come. Miranda! share her tender grief
Gather the blooming beauty from her lower !
So on thy* breast with soft reviving power
She still rosy reign of every flower the chief
B!e.-t be that hand ! unfathered she had died —
Waiting her fragrance on the chilly night
And unenj <yed. So fades Love's purple light.
Deep veiled in maiden majesty and pride;
But, throned With beauty in these heaven-lit eyea
And beaming smites, his pure flame never dies.

• LORD, IF THOU HAD'ST BEEN THERE.”
A Tradition of the Church at Laodicea.
BY MISS. IIAKr.tKT dEBClfKit STOWE.
At ibt; li n« when (lie L'totiict; ; fi churt'It was
in llir* slate dcsci'ibeij in t!;e first part of tbe
lluvelaliim olJuhn, li*ed the Elder Onet eplio-
rus. The world had smi ed on him—and
though a Chtistian, he was rich and full of
huiiots. All men, even the heathfii, sj eke
well of hint, for lie w;ts a man courteous of
spei-cli and mild of munnt r.
His wife, a fair Ionian lady but h;.Jf re
el dmed ft out idol, try, though baptizd aid
accredited as ft member oft he Chr stian church,
$:i>l lingered lovingly on the confines of old
hi aiheiHsm; and if she did not be it-ve, slilJ
cherished wi'h pleasure die poetic legends of
Apollo and Venus, of Jove and Dtati;*.
A lit'go und fair futuily of sons mid d>ugb-
ttrulixd tiseti around tlirse p.-trenis; hit their
educa ion had been much afier the rudiments
ol this W'.rid, and not t.f'er Christ. Thotigq
nccordiog to the customs of the chord), they
were biouglit to tlie foot of baptism, and seal
ed in the ouine of llie Father und the Sou and
Holy Ghost, and although daily, instead of li
bations to tbe Penates, or flower offerings to
Di.'tti t or Juno, the name,of Jesus *vas invoked,
yet tlie spirit of Jesus was wuiifng. Tbe
chosen associates of all these children, as they
grew older, were among the heathen; and
daily they urged their parents, by their entrea
ties, to conform in one tiling alter another to
heathen usage. * Why should we be singular,
mo!Iter ?” said the dark-eyed Myrr.di, as she
hound her hair and arranged her dress tifter tlie
fashion of llie.girls in the temple of Venus.—
“ Why m .y we not wear the golden ornaments
ami iimtg.-s which have been consecr-it* t* to
heathen goddesses 7” said the sprightly Tudllb;
•‘si rely none others are lo ho bought, and are
we to do alt"ge!her without?” “And why
may we not bo at feasts where libations are
made to Apollo or Jupiter?” said the sons;
“so long as we do not consent to it or believe
in if, will bur faith be shaken tin r .by?” “How
are we ever to reclaim the heathen, if we do
rot mingle firming them?” suit! another soil;
“did not our Master tat with pubiicans anti
sinners ?**
It was however, to be remarked, that no
conversion* of die heathen to Chr-slianity ever
took pi ice through the ineuns of these comply
ing s ms and daughters, or any of the number
who followed tlieir example. Instead of with-
drawing any from the confines of heatheuisiti,
they themselves were drawn so nearly over,
that in certain situations and circumstances
they would, undoubtedly, have been ranked
among diem, by any but a most scrutinizing
observer. If any in the city of Laodicea were
ever led to unite themselves with Jesus, it was
by mpansof a few who observed the fuil sim
plicity of the ancient faith, and who, though
honest, tender nnd courteous in till their deal
ings with the heathen, still went not a stop with
them in conformity lo any of their custom 4.
Iu time, though tho family wo speak of nev-
cr broke ofl* from the Cnrisdao church, yet if
you had been iu it, yon might have heard much
warm and earnest conversation about things
that took place at the baths, or in feasts to va
rious divinities ; but if any one spoke of Jesus,
there was immediately a cold s'lence—a deco
rous chilling, resjiectful pansc. after which the
conversation with a bound flew back into the
okl clarinet ajrain.
* % * * *
It was now nieht; and tho house of Onece-
phoros f!ic Elder was blazing with torches.
meni over Fie scene, was there.- In ancient
times, tiie festivals of Christians in Laodicea
had been regulated in tlie spirit of the com
mand of Jesus, as recorded by Luke,- whoso
classical Greek hud Blade his the established
version in Asia Minor. “A'nd lhnu, when ihou
makest a feast, call not thy friends and thy
kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbors, lost they also
bid theo. «nd a recompense be made thee. But
when thou makes: a felist, cdl tlie poor, and
the m timed, and the fame, and the blind, and
thou shall bo blessed;- for they cannot recom
pense thee, but thou shall be recompensed at
llie resurrection of the just.’ r
That very dayr before the entertainment,
had tfds passage been quoted in the ears of llie
family by Cleon, the youngest son, who. differ-
mt from oil bis family, bad cherished in his
bosom the simplicity of the o’d b*die.f. »
“ How ridiculous! how absurdl’.’’ had been
the reply of the more thoughtless members of
tbe family, when Oh-on cited the above pas
sage as in point to tlie eveniriff’s entertainment.
Tlie dark-eyed mother looked reproof ort Ihe
levity of the ynungcr.ehilJren, nnd decorously
applauded the passage, which she raid had no
application to tlie matter in hand.
“ But mother, even if the passage be not lite
rally takeu, it must mean something. What
did the Lord Jesus intend by it ? If wo Chris
tians may make entertainment* with till the pa
rade and expense of onr heathen neighbors,
and thus spend the money that might be devo
ted to charity, what does this: passage mren ?”
“ Your father gives in charity as handsomely
ns any Christian in Laodicea,” said his mother
wo> mly.
“ Nay, mother, that may bo; b.it I bethink
me now of two or three times when means Imre
been wanting for the relieving of the poor,-and
tlie ransoming of captives, an I the support of
apostlefi, when we have said that wo conk!
give no more.”
“ My son,” said his mother, “you do not un
derstand the ways of the world.”
‘•Nay, how should lie?" said Thalia, “'shut
op day and n'ght with that oi l papyrus of St.
Luke and Paul’s Epistles. One may have too
much of a good thing.”
“ Bsi does not the Ir-ly Paul say, ‘-Be Hot
conformed to this world?”
“Certainly,” said the elder; “that means
that we should be baptized, and not worship in
the heathen temples.”
“ My dear son,” said his mother, “you intend
well, doubtless, but you have not sufficient
ktiowledga of life to estimate our relations to
society. Entertainments of this ao' t are abso
lutely necessary, to sustain our position in the
world. If we accept, we must return them.”
But not to dwell on this conversation, let us
snpp >se ourselves in the rooms now glittering
with 1 ghts, and gay with every costly luxury
of wealth and taste. Here were statues to Di
ana and Apollo, and to the household Juno—
not meant lor worship, of course not, but sim-
p'y to conform lo tlie general usages of good
society; and so far bad this complaisance Been
carried, that the shiine of a peerless Venus was
adorned with garlands and votive t fl'erings, and
an exquisitely wrought silv< r censor diffused its
perfume on llie marble aliar in front. This
complaisance on the part of some of the youn
ger members of the fiinily, drew from tlie El
der h gentle remonstrance, as having an un
seemly iippenHaiic* for those bearing the Chris
tian name; but tliey readily answered, “Has
nut Paul sai I, “ We know that an idol is no
thing!” Where is the harm' of an elegant
s ame, co”sidered merely aff a consummate
work of art ? Ax for tlie flowers, are they nut
simply the most appropriate o‘ n >m'ont—and
where is the harm of burning exquisite per
fume? and is it worse to burn it in one place
.than another?”
“ Upon my w -rd,” said one of the heathen
guests, ns lie wandered through the gay scone,
“how liberal ami acconrarudating these Chris
tians are becomi ;g. Except in a few smuli
matters in llie temple, tli -y seem to be with us
entirely”
“Alt!” siii? another, *• it was not ao years
back. Nothing was heard am >ng them then,
but prayers and alms, and visits to the poor and
sick; and when they met together in their
feasts, th re was so much of tlieir talk of Christ,
and such singing of hymns and prayer, that
one of us found himself quite out of place.”
*.* Yes,” said no old tna-i present, •* in thoso
days I quite inetbought me of being some day
a Christian; but look you, they are grown so
near like us, now,- it is scarce worth one’s
while to change. A little matter of ceremony
in the temple, and offering incense to Jesus, in
stead of Jupiter, when all r ise is the same, can
make small odds in a man.”
But now, the ancient legend goes on to say,
that in the midst of that gay and brilliant eve
ning, a stranger of r<-markob!e appearanee and
manners was noticed among the throng —
None knew him, or whence he enme. lie
mingled not in the mirth, nml seemed to recog-
behold. Yet here nnd there, as he glided
among.the crowd, he spoke in the ear-of some
Christian, words which though soft and low,
seemed toh-ive a mysterious and startlmsrpow-
Oreotal Greece cun Id 4»ive to sixtd enchant- er ; for one after another, pensive, a jushotl anti
confounded, they drew aside from the gay
scene, .and seemed lost in thought. That
stranger—who was lie ? Who ? The-inquiry
passed from mouth to mouth, and one and an
other, who had listened to Iris -low, earnest
tones, looked on ea-h other with a troubled aijr.
Ere long he had glided hither and thither in
tlie crowd'; lie bad spoken'in the ear of every
Cliri-uian—atitl suddenly again he was gone,
and they saw him no more. Each had felt
their heart thrill within them—each spirit ha j
vibrated as if the li-gcr of its Creator, had tou.
died it,-and shrunk conscious ns if an omnis
cient eye were upon it. Each heart was stir
red fr> m its depths. Vain sophistries, worldly
maxims, making the false s?em true, all seem
ed o rise and deaf away like a liii'-st j and at
once each one seemed to sec, ns God sees, tho'
true state of the inner world, the true motive
and reason of action, .and in the instinctive
pause that passed through the company, the
banquet was broken up and deserted.
“And what if their God were present?”
said one of the heathen members of the com
pany, next day; “ why did they ail look so
blank ? A most favorable omen, we should
call i', to have one’s patron divinity al a feast.”
•‘ Besides.” saitl another, “ theseChristians
hold that their God is always everywhere pres
ent ; so, at ntos», ;hey have but had their eyes
opened to see fliin who is always there!”
What is practically tbe meaning of the pro.
ceptf, “ Be not conformed to the world ?” In
i-s everyday results, it presents many problems
difficult of solution. There are so many
shades and blendings of situation and circum
stances. so many tilings, innocent and graceful
in-themselves, which, like fl «wers and incense
oti a heathen ahttf, become unchristian only
through position nrd circumstances, that tho
most honest and well intentioned ate often per
plexed.
That we must conform in some tilings, is
conceded : yet the whole tenor of the New
Testament shows that this conformity must
have its limits—that Christians are lo be trans
formed, so as to exhibit to the world a higher
and more complete style of life, and ilius “prove.
what is tlie good and acceptable and perfect
will of God.”
But in many particulars ns to sJyleof living
and modes of social intercourse, there can bo
no definite rules laid down, and no Christian
can venture to judge'another by liis standard.
One Christian condt-mtjs dress ornament,
and tlie whole application of taste to the usages
of life, as a sinfid waste of lime and money.—
Another, perceiving in every Work of Go! a
love and appreciation of the beautiful, believes
that there is a sphere iir wliiclr he is pleased to
see the same trait in his children, if the indul-
eetieitf do-tior become excessive, and thus inter
fere with higher dnrit-u.-
One condemns ail time anil expense laid out
in- social visiting as so much waste. Another
remembers that J.-sus, when just entering on
the most vast and ahsorbing work, turned aside
to atleiid a Wedding feast, and wrought his first
miracle to' enhance its social enjoyment. A- t
gain, there are others who, because some indul
gence of taste, tttitl some exercise for the social
powers is admissible, go ail lengths itr e.ttrava-
gance,-and iu company, dress, and the exter
nals of life.. *-
In this matter, there are some things about
which, on rcflocthu], most devout Christians
are agreed. A!l are agreed that any custom
or - indulgence, .however in itself beautiful, be
comes sinful when ifs effect is to counro.nance
any font* of evil. In die first agt-s, whi n it
Christian covkl not adorn his house with a pic
ture or a statue, without giving countenance to
idolatry, flic indulgence of taste in (his form
became sinful; and now there are many iridul-
gences of taste, he'd forth in theatres and ope-
ioj, anJ in some popular forms of socia? amuse-
m nt, which th • Chrkliaa must abandon for tlie
same reason. He may have as fine an ear for
music,-as quick an eye for scenery and deco
rum, as vivid an appreciation of artistie giaca
as any other ma-’, yet he must not indulge it—
simply because he shall become an cucourager
of very serious evils, if he does.
In this same manner, with regard to style of
frits and social entertainment—most of the
items which goto constitute what is called style
of living! or the style of particular parries, mny
be in themselves innocent, nnd yet they mny
hesnr interwoven and combi nrd with evils, that
the whole eff ct shall be felt lo be decidedly
unchristian, bath by Christians and the world.
How, then,shall the well-disposed person kne w
where to slop, and how to strike the just me
dium ?
We know of but one safe rule i read tho
life of Jesus with attention—study it—inquire
earnestly with yourself*. “What sort of a per
son, in thought, in fee ing, iu action, was my
Savior?”—live in constant sympathy and com
munion with him—and there will ho wiiltin a
kind of instinctive rule by which to try all
nize no one present, though he regarded all that l things. A young man, who was to be expo-
wa3 passing with a |»eciiliar air of still and ear- | sed to the temptations of one ol the most d:>si-
nest attention; and wherever he moved, his pnted European capital-', carried wiih him his
calm penetrating gaze seemed to diffuse a sin- j 1 tiler’s picture, nnd hung it in his apartment,

father wish lo see me in the place to which I
