Y outh is a season of sunshine and pleasure, O ’er it are scattered the flow’rets of spring; U pward on fancy’s bright ’pinions it wanders, Thoughtless that fancy may lure but to sting. II ere life is fraught with a weight of importance, And its brief moments leave seeds in the breast; N’ursed they shall be—nought can hinder their yielding Days in the future—delight or unrest. O nly in youth can the mind gather beauty ; L est without culture, its life is a drcam : Darkness and shadows till death must enshroud it— A imless it wanders on time’s mighty stream. G one are the visions of youth from the aged; Evening o’ershadows the sunlight of noon ; C are now abides in the dwelling of fancy ; Only contentment is sought as a boon. N ought is more welcome than age to the holy; ’T is to his spirit the twilight of rest; R ichly the fruits of his virtues now cluster— A ngels of comfort they are to his breast. S ilently age folds his mantle around him; T ime scatters frost on the locks of his head ; Ending his journey in prospect of Heaven, Dying serenely he rests with the dead. W. M. DAVIS. EXAMINATION OF THE TESTIMONY OF THE FOTJFt EVANG EF/IMTH, BY THE RULES OF EVIDENCE ADMINISTERED IN COURTS OF JI STICK. BY SIMON GREENLEAF, LL. D. 8 26. Such are the brief histories of the men, whose narratives we are to examine and compare; conducting the examination and weighing the testimony by the same rules and principles which govern our tri bunals of justice in similar cases. These tribunals are in such cases governed by the following fundamental rule : In trials of fact, by oral testimony, Ike proper inquiry is not whether it is possible that the testimony may be false, but whether there is sufficient probability that it is true. It should be observed that the subject of inquiry is matter of fact, and not of ab stract mathematical truth. T'helattcralone is susceptible of that high degree of proof, Usually termed demonstration, which ex cludes the possibility of error, and which therefore may reasonably be required in support of every mathematienl deduction. But the proof of matters of fact rests upon j moral evidence alone ; by which is meant ’ not merely that species of evidence which j is employed in cases respecting moral con- ■ duct, but all the evidence which we do not j obtain from our own senses, from intntion, or from demonstration. In the ordinary affairs of life we do not require nor expect demonstrative evidence, because it is in consistent with the natitre of matters of fact, and to insist, on its production would be unrea tollable and absurd. Ami it makes no difference, w hether the. facts to be proved relate, to this life or to the next, the nature of the evidence required being in both i eases the same, 'flu’ error of the sceptic consists in pretending or supposing that ! there is a difference in the nature of the i evidence, where th'cre is mt difference in the I nature of the things to be proved; and in demanding demonstrative evidence concern- ' iug things which art* nut siu-wept Ae an y other than moral evidence alone, and <>f which the utmost that can be said is, that there is no reasonable doubt of their.triith. £27. In proceeding to weigh the. evi dence of any proposition of tact, the pre vious question to be determined is, when may it be saiU to be proved ! The answer to this question is furnished by another rule of municipal law, w hich may be thus stated j-s- ,1 proposition of fart is proved, when its truth is established by competent and satis factory evidence. By competent evidence, is meant such as the nature of the thing to be proved re quires ; ami by satisfactory evidence, is meant that amount of' proof, which ordi narily satisfies an unprejudiced mind, be yoiid any reasonable doubt. The cirettm stanees which will amount to this degree of proof can never' be previously defined ; the only legal test to which they can be subjected is, their sufficiency to satisfy the mind and eoliscieiiee of a man of common prudence and discretion, and s > to convince him, that he would venture to act upon that Conviction in matters <>f the highest concern and importance to his own inter est. If, therefore, the subject is a problem in mathematics, its truth is to be shown by the certainty of demonstrative evidence. But if it is a question of liiet in human at’ tails, nothing mo’v than moral evidence can be required, for this is the best evidence which, from the nature of the ease, is at tainable. X..« as the facts, stated in scrip ture history, are not of the former kind, but are cognizable !>y the scuses, they mav be said to be proved w hen they are \ staff lished by that kind and degree of evidence vvliieh, as we have just observed, woul i. in the affairs of human lite, satisfy the mind and cotiscienec ot a common man. When we have this degree of evidence, it is un reasonable t< > require more. A juror w <mld violate his oath, it he 'hom'd retuse to ac quit or condemn a person charged with an oilenee, where this measure <•! proof was adduced. £2S. I’l < e. eding further, to inquire w heth er tile tacts related by the l our Evange list' are proved by competent and salislae tory evidence, we are led, first. to cunsiiier on which side lies the burden of establish ing the credibility ot' the witnesses. U<| this point the municipal law furuislu ' ,i rule, which is of constant application in ail trials by jury, and is indeed the dictate < f that charity whkh thinketh no evil.

This rule serves to show the i>."'- ,: . with which the writers of the gospels have ever been treated by infidels; an injusti, silently a<qu s. eti in even by Christians; in reqttiri -4 the Christian affirmatively, and by p."it ve evidence, t.--, t,, establish ’ '■ above all othi s, betore their testimony is in’.ithd to is* v -,' dered. .and in permitting the tes t"‘- ;-.y -t a si: - wr ‘- r, and uiwvrrok‘rated. that of any single cht-.'f .-m Th s ■. -th, ■m ~ of chamvry, w here the t< < niottv of a >i U . g’e w tin " s never pernutted a, . the oath even of the defendant himself, iu tere'osi as ho ;s n the cause ;t> .. • contrary, it the plaintiff, after hav it re quirt'd the oath of Ess overthrow it by s>»methmc nmre than t»i, st.m.i as ev 't him.

This treatment moreover, has i been applied to them all in a body ; and, without due. regard to the fact, that, being : independent historians, writing at different ' I periods, they are entitled to the support of | each other : they have been treated, in the ■ I argument, almost as if the New Testament j i were the entire production, at once, oi a ■ body of men, conspiring by a joint fabri ! cation, to impose a false religion upon the ! world. It is time that this injustice should cease; that the testimony of the evange-i lists should be admitted to be true, until j it can be disproved by those who would . would impugn it; that the silence of one i sacred writer on any point, should no more , detract from his own veracity or that of the other historians, than the like circum- j stance is permitted to do among profane ; writers; and that the I'our Evangelists . should be admitted in corroboration of each other, as readily' as Josephus and Tac itus, or Polibius and Livy. g 29. But if the burden of establishing the credibility of the evangelists were de volved on tiiose who affirm the truth of their narratives, it is still capable of a ready moral demonstration, when we consider the nature and character ot the testimony, and the essential marks of difference between < true narratives of facts and the creations of falsehood. It is universally admitted ■ that the credit to be given to witnesses ■ j depends chiefly' on their ability to discern ' and comprehend what was before tlr-m, their opportunities for observation, the de- . an.c oi''<i<wuraoy with w hieli they tire ae- I customcd to mark passing events, and their ' integrity in refitting them. The rule of; i municipal law on this subject embraces all i ' these particulars, and is thus stated by a ; ■ legal text-writer of the highest repute. The credit due to the testimony if witnes ses depends umm, firstly, their honesty ; sec ondly, their ability ; thirdly, their number \ and the consislency of their testimony; fourthly, the conformity of their testimony with experience ; and fifthly, the coincidence of their testimony with collateral circum stances. Let the evangelists be tried by these tests. 8 30. And first, as to their honesty.— Here they are entitled to the benefit of the general course of human experience, I that men ordinarily speak the truth, when i I they have no prevailing motive or induce- ' ; inent to the contrary. This presumption, , ! to which we have before alluded, is applied . . in courts of justice, even to witnesses whose ; ; integrity is not wholly free from suspicion; i much more is it applicable to the evangel* I ists, whose testimony went against all their I wotsJly interests. The great truths which j ■ the apos'tl s declared, were, that Christ hail ; risen from the dead, find that only through ■ [ repentance from sin, and faith in him, could j j men hope for salvation. This doctrine I : they asserted with one vqice, everywhere, : not only under the greatest discourage ments, but in the lace of the most appal ling terrors that can be presented to the mind of man. Their master had recently perished as a malefactor, by the sentence ot a public tribunal. His religion sought to overthrow the religious of the whole world. 'I lie laws of every country were against the teachings of his disciples. The I interests ami passions of all the rulers and ; great men in the w ot id v, i re against them. I’l’opagating this new faith, cyett in the : most inofl'ensive ami peac j'ul manner, they could expect nothing but contempt, oppo ; silion, rev dings, biller persecutions, stripes, i ' imprisonments, torments and cruel deaths, j ,< XklLLbls, did j.i , | and all these miseries they endured undis-I mayed. nay. rejoicing. As one after an- ' j other was put to a miserable death, the' i survivors only prosecuted their work with. increased vigor and resolution. The an | mils of military warfare afford searcelv an example ol the like iwroic constancy, pa tience and tmblenehing courage, Thev had ’ every possilde motive to review carefully the grounds of their faith, and the eviden t ces ot the great tacts and truths which thev asserted; and these motives were pix-sid upon their attention with the most mclaii i eholv and terrilie frequency. It was there fore imp' s'il-le that they could have per- • j sisted in affirming the truths they havenar- - rated, had not Jesus actually risen from the dead, and had they not known this fact - as certainly as th -y knew :my other tact. I , If it were morally pos-ible for them to ; I have b'-eti dee.-ivcd in this matter, every • human motive operated to ha I them to ■ discover ami avow their error. To have i persisted in so gross a f.iLvhood, alter it ■ was known to them, was not onlv to eit i counter, lor life, all th ■ evils which man ’ could infiiet. from without, but to endure •’also the pangs <>|' inward and conscious i guilt ; with no hop., of future p, aw, no t testimony ot a goo.l c-rnsytetiee. no exp' el ation ot h'>m>r r i ti cm aiming men, no hope ot happit;- ss in this fife, or in the ' VV orb I to come. £3l. Such condiut in the aposths would moia voxel- have I e>-n uttei ly irreconcilable : with the |jet, that they po'scssed the ordi nary constitution <q out- common nature. ' let their lives do -how them to have be, u i ivii like all others of our race: swaved by the same motives, animated by thesam ■ j ■ ( hopes, affected by the same joys, suk’ned : ' by the same lornno, agitated by the same ' ' fears, and -ul j■. t to the '.mu' pti'sions. : ■'temptationsand infirmities. ns our'.

(to BE CONTINUED.) ♦ —♦- THE ISLES Os THE SEA. The missions of the London Missionary Society in the South Pacific, furnish contin ' nod evidence of the progress of the gospel. | In the churches in Tahiti, under the care of 1 native pastors, trained for that service, the I number of church-members is greater than ; ever before, and the people generally evince ! a steadfast adherence to the great principles | of evangelical Protestantism and to the ! word of God. The missions in the Socie [ ty. Austral, Harvey, and Navigator's grotto including nearly twenty islands and about 50,000 people arc encouraging. The insti tutions for training native, teachers and evangelists in the islands of Tahaa, Raro tonga, and Tpolu, contain nearly- one hun dred students. Many well qualified agents have gone from these seminaries, some of whom are now pastors of villiage congre gations, and others have gone as missiona ries to the distant islands of the Pacific.— ; These native agents are all sustained by the i people among whom they labor, or by I whom they are sent to the heathen. Bcsi ; des this, the contributions of these native | Christians to the cause of missions, constd- ■ cring their very limited resources, are very | liberal. During the last year, these free ; will-offerings were, from the Society Is lands, -5’665; from the Hervey islands, ! $1,880; and from the Navigator’s Islands, ' $3,050: making a total of 85.505. The number of native Christians in church-fel lowship in Tahiti is 1,600; in the Society ‘ and Austral groups. 1,423; in Hervey | group, 2,087 ; in Navigators, group. 2,568: total, 7,678. CURED 111.11. On one of the Circuits in South Arkansas, was a new “preacher in charge.” On his arrival in the neighborhood of Esquire R., the old brother met him kindly. When the ‘Squire returned from meeting, his la dy asked him about the new preacher—his talents, the prospect, etc. The kind husband spoke well of him as | j a preacher but said he had the “Bighead” ! ■ and he was afriad it would ruin him-. At ‘ that moment a servant boy was building a lire and overheard the conversation. At the next appoint inent of the “preach ,et in charge,” the servant mt t him—was very glad to see him. “Master,” said he, "how has your head got ?” The astonish ed minister said, “There is nothing the mat ter with my head ? “Wy,” said the bov “Master tell Mistess you got tie big-head, and he was ‘fraid it would kill you; and I was mighty ‘fraid you could not git. here any more.” “Heard your Alaster sav what ?’’ asked the minister. "Hearn him tel! Mistess you have de liigliead and he was "fraid it would kill you !” The minis ter in rather alow tone, said, “There’s noth ing the matter with my head.”— Arkansaw Baptist.
