" The Jesuit missionaries were but a short time settling in Pe-kin?. when one stimmprV rlur jthe beginning of the -seventeenth century, n visi- the decay of their national language, and partly wwausc mcir cniei nnu meiy.aiea at a very ad vanced age, leaving for his hereditary nuccessor a son, very young and very little versed in the pe culiarities of their religion.

The stranger ttowetf to the ptctureas RicrF cfid, I but exclaimed at the same time that he was not before any such representa- could , not refrain from navinz the usual homage of the country to liis great an cestors, lieside the altar were pictures of the four evangelists. He inquired if these were not of the twelve. Ricci answered in the af firmative, supposing him to mean the twelve a postles. Then, returning to the first a Dart- j raent, he proposed questions in tum, and an un expected explanation ensued. The stranger was the Mary, from MoveroU, captain and fifteen hands : a descendant ol Israel, and, during his English ships have been seized, and their crews murdered within a few lyears past ; the last wasj murdered. Giptain Russell gained much intelli V gence regarding those abandoned people. He! i Mbwnd under a itrre 'not Jess than fifteen dead bo-j dici,or rather the bones of. as many ciiriouslvi packed, and the skull placed for the head some thing like a mummy, (he has one on board.) Hd that they expressed a desire for pictures as helps to devotion, to be in their synagogue and private oratories, particularly for. pictures of Jesus. They complained of the interdiction from slaughtering animal for themselres, which if they had not transgressed recently upon the road they must have perished with hunger. -They were likewise ready to renounce tbe rite of circumcisbn on the eighth day, which their wives and the surrounding heathen denounced as a barbarous and cruel prac tice. And they held out the expectation that in asmuch as Christianity oilers a relief in such mat ters, it would be easily adopted among their poc ple. Yet the autlior gives no account of any con sequent conversion. It appeared on further inquiry that the Chinese comprise under the one designition, iruyztcwy, the three religions of Isrealite, Mohammedan, and the cross worshipers, descendants of early Syrian Christians, subsisting in certain provinces, but oc casionally distinguishing then thus: 1- The Mohammedans, as the llavy abstaining from pork. . 2. The Israelites, as the Jirwy .who cut out the nerves and sinews from their meat ; and. 3. Tlie cross 'worshippers, wlw refuse to ,eat of smimfUs wbicufcar9-,rr-. tmdirid-hoof : . which latter restriction, it was said, the Isrealites there did not observe. f r . HIGH VIEWS OF THE CHRISTIAN MINISTRY. There is reason to fear that nnny candidates for the aicred office, undervalue its inherent dig nity, and hope to enjoy the kindness of their par ishioners, without any strong impulse towards per sonal improvement. And perhaps there are mm who have begun to preach, and rent contented wiih the routine of common observances, and never feel tliat the kiogdom of truth, as well as of religion, is to sufler violence, and the violent are to tike it by force. But a-minister cannot live in the health ful dis:harge of his duties, without fcclin the need of his unceasing movement upward; nor will he-perceive this necessity, unlets hv form a hih iJea of the work which' is givea him lo do. A livelihood, and even a kind of eminence in his call ing, may sometimes be secured .by. the minuter w!k ahrinks from that .severity of mental toH which is needed for distinguished usefulness in the other professions. But his livelihood is not a true "living, and his eminence is produtivc of but lit tle good, unless be be, in the full meaning pf tbe term, a labored unless his standsrd of ministeri al excellence be such as to exalt his whole charac ter. What constitutes a call to preach the gos pel; what kind of mental discipline should the pastor udopt ; What books should he read ; what subjects shoujd he investigate; bow much time want cf- the necessaries of life, told his tvfa orxi day that he wou'd leave with her and the children thrne shilling, which was all the money ho had in the world, and would try to pet sorso work as a day labourer. After commending them to trod, and praying for divine direction; ha railed at a number of houses the first day, but could not meet with any employment. He ct.t the iW night in a barn, and ww cngnjed in prayer the greatest part of it. -In the morning he again set csit, and soon arrived at LorJ where he inquired cf the servants if n hbourcr was wcr.trJ.

He said that Hebrew learning was still maintained among . his' people, that his brother was proficient in it : and he seemed to confess that his own neglect of it, with - prefer ence for Gentile literature, had exposed him to censure from the i congregation and the rabbi, but this gave him little 'concern, as his ambition aimed at the honours to be gained from Chinese learning a disciple rather of, Coufucius than of iuoses. - . - i - , - Three years afterward, -having no.earlier. op portunity, Ricci despatched a Chinese Christian to investigate, at Nae-fung-foo, thn truth : of, this singular discovery.
