TTie Jewish legislator was cither a true pro phet an enthusiast, a dope, or an impostor. That he was not an enthusiast may be argued from his learning ; he was versed in all the learning cf Egypt ; from his education among the courticTs U Pharob; from the diffidence with which he re ceived tle first annunciation.of his mission : from numiraoic suuauieness ot Lis law to tlic ac complishment of the object proposed; the knowl edge therein displayed of human nature ; the con nection of laws politically necessary with religion, Sec.

An impostor would not hove chosen to suf fer afflictions with a degraded race rather ilmn tn rnu.w iu u: gujues ana uscmauons ol a court : nn impostor would not have exposed himself to the danger of death by vindicating thc cause of the op presssd; he would not, if banished to a desert, be contented with his Lt, forget his schemes of am bition, intermarry among the natives cf an obscure province, and calmly sink into the condition cf a nnlmr1 .

If We rcmcnber once hearing a bd 'rather ex uhiugly idling his mother, that he had not Lcetl angry for thc last six months. This mother, who was a devotedly pious txoman, and duuinguWicd also-forhcr ctdarged experience and good com mon tense -judgment, at once fave a salutary check to the .ecling. cf sclf-cumpl.cency which bad so evidently oUained a pLce in the boson, of her child. -My too?, U Ue, -y0J doubl'css think you Iiavca very good temper.

Lad siy Uiing that woulJ put its character ta the test, h i, very difficult matter to control our temper as lonr as we do not meet with any thiog calcuUtoi to ex cite our angry Ming,. 4 If, Lower, we Lave been aurroun Jed nith trial. aaJ provocations and these too of an excccdbgly harassing nature, and have withal been enabled to repress aU an-ry feelings, we may then justly claim for ourselves a good temper, for which also we arc indebted to the grace of God. But if co such trial and pro vocations have beca encountered, we hould be ware lest we form a more favorable opinion of our temper, than thc result would warracthould iu character be put to the test." The boy felt tho force of his mother's remarks. A chacgo imme diately came over his countenance, and wa trust also over bis feelings and aVnlimccts. In a similar way, many fall into the si me er roneous judgment with respect to their good rmal lues. UUTevyytVmgtoKTgioeiUt -wo possess them, tvhilst nothing has occurred to call for their practical development. But the only thing, that can certainly prove the reality of their existence, is the faithful exemplification of them in our lives. If we wish to be regardc as benero Icnt, chautaUc and kind, we muu avail ourselves of the opportunities afforded for the manifestation of these qualities in a practical way. Nothing short of this will prove to others that we posses them, and we should not be satisfied ourselves without such evidence of their existence. TIIE ARMOUR OF THE SOUL What, are truths which are to be used as the armor ol the soul against the enemies of its safety and peace 1 . They consist of all those great and solemn truths which concern a man as a rational and immortal being, nnd his relation to that in comprehensible One who is nohisjwitness and will soon be his judge. In the present short nnd transitory state af being he is placed for a period of moral discipline. He has various duties which he is called upon to perform, nnd, many responsi. bilitiesand means of usefulness which he i quired to improve , to tbe glory of God and the good of man; and he has committed to bis care an immortal spirit to be disciplined for the solemn realities of a hfe which is to come.

The captain of the steamer had determined to steer between t ome unknown rocks, where no one ever thought of risking a vessel It was about half past twefvev and tho passengers Lad retired to rest. A terrible shock and fearful cries awoke them ; the Pegasus had struck a rock, the water poured in on every side wilh irresistible violence, tnd the vessel filled rapidly.
