equiv ali iit to moisten, or bedew, or tvel, seems to me an error somewhat akin lo his, wlio should say that in this passage of Milton,

Pips lur ail .i'lt," the w^ird dip is adequaU-ly expi.-iined bv .xsfribing to it the mean ing /o moisten. And though a dictionary should mention the word moisten or ludeir, as one of ihe mean-

I ing^ of the verb dip, on accotuit of this pas-; sage of Milton, yet who would feel thai the ' word was properly explained, or tha t the ' passage was properly explained without a , reference to the pr imary , original meaning • of the word dip? ; I consider, then, the word bapto as liv-] perbolically used in the book of Daniel; and j as natural ly suggested by the circumslance, , that the whole surface of Nebuchadnezzar ' s ! body was exposed to the dew, and became covered with it; so tha t much the same ef-

I feci was produced, as if his body had been • immersed in il. These passages are easily

I t will be seen from this table of r e f e r - ! explained without ascribing , to bapto the ences, that to dip is most evidently the ^ meaning to moisten; and therefore they do usual sense of bapto.

M A T E B N A L I N F L U E N C E . Gov. Briggs, in a lecture on Popular

Educat ion, recently delivered, related tlie following impressive incident:

I remember twelve or fifteen years n ^ . 1 left Washington, three or four weeks du-ring tlie spring; while at home, 1 fnr the first time, possessed myself of the letters

' of Mr. A d a m s ' mother, and read them wii,h exceeding interest. I remember an expn'.s-sion in one of the letters addre.=sed to her son, while yet a boy twelve years of .age in Europe: savs she, " I would nither sec you laid in your grave, than that you should :;row up a profane and graceless b o v . " — . \ f t e r 1 n- tumed to Wa.shington, I went over to Mr. Adams ' seat one dav, and said I, " M r . Adams, 1 have found out who made you •"

" W h a t do you m e a n ? " said he-I said, "1 have been rea<llng the letters

of your mother ! " If I had named that dear name to some lirtle bov, who had been for weeks away from his dear mother, his eve could not have flashed more bn- 'hl lv. p. . ' or his face glowed more quickly, than did the eye and face of tha t venerable old man when I pronounced the name of his moth-er. He started up, in his peculiar manner ,

• and emphatically said, 1 "Yes ! Mr. Briggs, all thai is good m.me ; 1 owe lo my mothe r . "

Oh, what a t<;stiniony was that, from this ; venerable man, to liis mother, who had in his remembrance all the scenes of his man-hoo.1! " A l l tliat is good in mc 1 owe to my

| inoiJier!" Mothers! think of this when your bright t y c d little boy is about vou!— Mothers make the first impressions upon

j ihe mmds of iheir children, and those im-j pressiuns will be the lust—tlie last to lie ef-; laced. I have alluded to the French Revo-' lulion, its infidelity, and its atheism. J.jhn

Ilandolph wrote a letter lo a friend, some years ago, (probably you have all seen i t . ) in which he said that at one period of his life, in the vigor and buoyancy of voutb,

i in the time of the French Revolution, wh.-n I he was on the very point of taking tlie last

• step and plunging into the depths of French j .\.theism, he said, " I was only kept back by tlie memory of my mother; but that mother now a saint in heaven, who used to make me kneel down by her side, taking my little hands between hers, t augh t me to look up, and say, 'Our F a t h e r who a n in

! heaven. ' " There is a g rea t work f.>r wo-I men to do in this mat ter of education, as ' well as for men.

S C R A P S FROM T H E G E R M A N O F J E A N P A U L .

Hypocri tes so.ar up to heaven, not like the lark to sing praises, but like the hawk, to pounce upon their prey. When they look up to the Mount of Olives, it is to build an oil mill; and if they weep by the bnxik Kedron, they arc watching to fi.sh or throw some one into it; and when thi-}-kneel, il is like soldiers in the front rank, to load and fire. They call mankind their brethren, and treat them as the Turkish sultans do their relatives.

Love, as well as hate, is preserved by letters; and I defy any one to take up the letters of an estranged friend without a re-newal of his friendship. Tlie sight of the beloved hand-writ ing, the kind words, the welcome seal, reflect a gleam of sunshine over the hear t which nevur fails to meet it.

Every man should have a friend ready to call in when he quarrels with his wife, to make the high contending parties p u t on, for decency 's sake, the appearance of a good tmderstanding, which will help to bring about the reality.

Those who leave out a man ' s genius in est imating his re.spectability, are like Lin-n a u s who clas.sed the nightingale, disre-garding its tunefulness, in a family of small silent birds.

AlldiWsionsof t ime enlarge our thoughts . They are stopping-places where we tu rn lo look behind and before us, and take in some little part of the surrounding anmen-sity.

And sometimes in the lonely glen Tis gently echoed back again; As if her spirit hovered near. To sooth urchbck the rising tear.

My mothers voice! my mother's voice I A charm was id its sound;

Its music made my heart rtjoice. And gladness spread around.

She tanght my infimt lips to pray. And ask for grace, from day to day; , Ah! sweet domestic joy, in this Is felt thy dearest, sweetest bliss.

My mother's hand! I've felt it oft Cpnn my infant brow—

Its gentle pressure, ^.iiiii and soft, Jlethinka I feel it now;

As when she knelt and i«ked in prayer. That God my soul would make his care; It was at evening's twilight hour, I ever felt its soothing power.

My mother's kiss I my mother'a kiss! With rapture filled my soul;

Ko power could heal my grief like this— ily joys knew no control.

My mother dear, to thee 'twas given To point thy erring child to heaven, Tiy dying voice was spent in prayer. And when I knelt beside thee there, And laid npoh my bursting heart Thy death-cold hand, thou didst impart To me, thy last sweet kiss of love. Then, smiling, «ared to worlds above.

a few appropriate and deeply touching re-marks, which were but the spontaneous overflowing of his fiill soul. Then in a solemn and impressive prayer by President Eaton, our beloved brother and his dear companion, were most earnestly and affec-tionately commended to that God who rules the mighty deep, and who tempers the winds to the shorn lamb. At the close of the prayer, our missionary brother and sis-ter arose and sang with deep pathos, the following lines, while we extended to thi'tii the parting hand, and exchanged with them the last friendly grasp, which, in all proba-bihty, we shall be permitted to ^exchange, till we meet in eternity.

"The hour is couie—i>ur Ma.«ter calls. And forth fur hita we go.

We part within these hallowed walls. To meet no more bolsw.

We bind the Spirits armour on. We make the Cross our shield;

And heuce must to our work be gone. With all the world our field.

But though afar, and wide apart, Our lines of duty run.

We shall not suuder heart from heart, For they, in Christ, are oue.

While We, onr lonely way must take. To China's heathen ihain,

Our liitks of love shall never break, A Saviour huld-s the claim.

The love that bind-i, shall bind us still Though seas between us roll,

Kor distance, time, nor toil shall .'iteal One frienil.-hip frum the soul.

At thy corainnnd, our God, we part. To work thine high behest.

Then bring us thither where ihon art. Our everla.stiug rest."

he purpose th in his Lciirt, so l . ' th im give M a n y set-ra to t h m k tha i il iK-lnngs only I the rich to {.-ive; but , cruel as sumet imes i the evils of p m e r t y . none would be siii as to be dejir ived by il of ibe l u i u n of • ing. T o rob the pour nf thts priTniratil would be the scvere.sl iif all e» ils tlial rou be infliclcd on a Christiiin soul, r n ali 'd o | ginallv in Uie image of Gud, the g rea t A l giver—CR-ated anew lu ilie ima;,'e of Ch r J e s u s , who, not h a M n - where tn lay head , y e t went nbnut d . . i n i i,ood and g; to those p<iiirer than l.iniself.

W e -natit, in all our sy s i tms of b e n e v | lence, someth ing tha i shall embrace and' i list more lully tha t lar.;e cla.ss who a r e t eemed ju^t able to eiim thei r own liviny T h e agen t s of bencvi.li ni societies Iiirge overlook this class. Tlu-y go to the rich-they go lo the benevulenl , who mUI givu i who p e r h a p s do give as much or m o r e l they o u g h t : but , how many of the poor I over looked. A g e n c i e s are necessary, deed , in the p resen t Ktatt of our cliurcha •\Vith the vast tide.s cf wt-nlth tliat arc ing into ever^- section of the c o n n ' r j , t h e | needs even somet l i ing on a much la scale t h a n our ord inary lieni-volcnt a " o c o n t e n t ^ they an- wiili a subscription five or ten dol lars a vear .

Bu t t he fa i lure of the church in its dn to the rich is as nofhi i i^ to its fa i lure in i du ty to tbe poor , for these form the es, and ou r agen t s scarcely touch t h e i The publ ic collections, taken u p f rom to pew, do not louch them. A piece of i ver or copper is hardly missed, but j u s t i ficient to form a palliati i e to conscience, 1 an they g a t h e r f rom each.

I f each church would careful ly app collectors and a r r a n g e so tliat eve ry m be r of each family connected w ith the cod grega t ion should have a card, vriili d i f f i j ea t objects of chr is t ian benevolence down on it, presented lo h im for his e scription, it would probably be tlip mo equi tab le and efficient a r rangement , pas to r or t r easun- r m igh t ket p a book, •which t h e resul ts of each card should be i g is tered.

T h e rea.son why tlie puq iose of hear t is so much insisti'd on, is, becau one cent more would be no t rue bencvi] lence. Bui , let H mnn follow his hea r t i not his head in giving. T h e cold and i row calculat ions of dry intellectuahty
