The following letter, from the Rev. PITT MORSE, without noticing its contents, came very near being destroyed, with a number of others that had been a long time accumulating, and which were no longer of any importance. But on casting an eye on this, some time after it had been devoted to destruction, it was tho't too honorable to the church to whom it relates, as also to the individual to whom it was sent, to be buried in oblivion. The publication of this letter becomes more necessary in consequence of its naving been recently stated in some of the public prints, that Mr. Kneeland was driven out of Philadelphia; and also that he has since been dismissed from another church.

Miscellaneous. THOROUGHWORT. There are numerous species of this plant which are natives of our soil. This species has Jong been familiarly known droughout the U. States, by the various names, of thoroughwort, boneset, Indian sage, crosswort, vegetable anti mony, &c. It grows abundantly in low meadows and marshy situations. The stem is erect and rises from two to four or five feet, perforat ting the leaves at each joint, and is hairy or woolly, and branches only at the top. The leaves are horizontal, serrated and rough, from three to four inches long and about an inch broad at their base, gradually lessening to a very acute point, of a dark green, and covered with short hairs. The flowers are white, and appear in July and August. The medicinal properties of this very valuable plant have been thoroughly investigated by many practitioners, one of the first and most accurate of whom is Dr. Anderson, of NewYork. He deems it warrantable to conclude that it possesses many properties similar to those which characterize Peruvian bark, cham omile, and other valuable articles used in medi cine, but that these virtues reside in the leaves. As medical preparations of this plant, the doctor recommends the decoction of the flowers and leaves; the leaves powdered, and a tincture of the flowers and leaves, prepared with proof spririts. The last form had better be expunged. It is said without hesitation, that the chymical properties of thoroughwort, as deduced from experiment, are, in many respects, exactly similar to the Peruvian bark; and that for its active medicinal virtues, particularly as a sudorific and as a tonic, it will not suffer by a comparison with any of the articles found in due south, through an extensive plain, till pas- exact dimensions of the aperture.

There are several trifling leaks in the side of the tunnel but these will all be removed, or will cure themselves. The weekly consumption of articles on the works, when in full operation, averages about 70,000 bricks, 350 casks of cement, and a corresponding quantity of sand, 300lb. of candle, and previously to the erection of the gasometer on the works, about 5000 feet of portable gas; and 730 tons of soil were carted from the works. Before the accident, as much as 50 or 60l, a day was taken from visitors. The London papers state that the small pox was raging at Banbury. Sixty-four persons are said to have died of it since the 24th of May, when a show was exhibited in a caravan, in which a child had lately died of that disorder.

Owing to the works going on at the great sewer there, the gas in considerable quantities had escaped, and so insinuated itself into the neighboring earth, that on being accidentally ignited, it burnt in a very alarming manner for three or four hours.

"It is a sact," says that natured politeness of our distinguished countryman, Sir Walter Scott, is current among our writings.

He says, that who is subject to this distressing complaint, has for several months been in the habit of borrowing his instrument, when she felt a return of the pain, and the sight of it never fails to effect an immediate cure. There must be something peculiar in the association of the lady's mind, we are inclined to think, or the frequent sight of a piece of steel would not so often be the means of so much relief. ORIGINAL ANECTOTE. A certain Methodist preacher, declaiming before an audience one evening, where he knew there were a number of Universalists present; was very positive in asserting that "Universalism led to all manner of iniquity.". He stated that for fifteen years he had been a zealous Universalist, &c. As is usual with that class of people, after he had concluded his hatangue, he gave liberty for others to speak; when a venerable, well instructed Universalist arose, and, addressing the speaker, inquired, if he spoke front experience when he said Universalism led to all manner of iniquity?-did it lead you to commit all manner of crimes ? if it did, how came you in the pulpit, and not in the state's prison? Why, said the preacher, something disconcerted, it is true I was no worse than the generality of men, but the reason of it was, that while I contended for the truth of that system, I did not really believe it!! I knew then as well as I now do, that it was all a lie. And yet, says the old man, you stated that for fifteen years you had been a Universalist. Out of thine own mouth will I condemn thee. You have proved that you are a liar now, and that you was a hypocrite then. And since you are guilty of such iniquity, and never believed in A singular ooccurrence took place in the Parish church of Tring, in Hertfordshire, on Sunday morning last. The Clergyınan having given some offence to the musical persons who usually form their choir, that important part of the country church called the singing gallery, was lest wholly unoccupied, and the clerk in vain announced the psalm with "Let us sing to the praise, &c." in his most inviting way, no one answered the invitation; and the silence remained unbroken for the space of at least ten minutes, the congregation in the mean time staring at each other in stupid amazement. At length the clerk rose, and read froin a written paper, " that he was desired to give notice that it was not the intention of the parson to preach Universalism, it is plain that as far as doctrine a sermon until the congregation sang a psalm." Again universal silence reigned, except only where a good natured old gentleman was seen skipping from pew to pew, using his utmost powers of persuasion to induce some one of his neighbors to commence "the stave," but all being ineffectual, the clerk, after another space of five or six minutes, again rose and said, "he was desired to give notice that there would be no sermon." The congregation thus unceremoniously dismissed, left the church without the usual blessing, or any other formal close to divine worship. London paper. ABORIGINAL CHARACTER. had any effect to lead you to licentiousness, METHODISM, (which you then believed, and now preach,) and not Universalism, made you a hypocrite and a liar. I advise you, sir, not to preach again, until you have embraced some other systein which shall correct such iniquity as your doctrine has led you into. Murder-The Widow of Samuel Beaks of the township of Hopewell, N.

EXTRACTS FROM BALFOUR'S 2D INQUIRY. The question, which now comes forward for consideration is-Was this account of satan in troduced for the purpose of establishing, or was it introduced to refute such opinions? Let satan here be considered, either the evil principle deified, or the devil of Christians, were such opinions sanctioned by the writer, or does he introduce them, to expose their fallacy, and establish the supremacy of the one living and true God in opposition to them? All I think will agree, that the whole must stand approved or condemned. No middle path can be here taken, for no ground is afforded for it. It is then a matter of no consequence, whether we consider satan in this account the principle of evil deified, or, that he was the Christian's devil. Whether the same or different, I shall proceed to show, by direct and I think conclusive evidence, that neither of them had any influence in producing Job's afflictions. That they were all sent by the one living and true God, whom Job feared and obeyed, is evident. Il No. 25. his hands. It is apparent, that she believed in 2d.

And is it like world by which God accomplishes his pleasure, surdity.

Indeed no sacred writer, these two chapters excepted, say or insinuate that Ahraman ar satan had any influence in producing them. But I have a right to demand, why no sacred writer has done this, if they believed as most people do now that satan was the author of Job's afflictions? If they had the same view of those two chapters as most people now have, is it possible that they would have been silent on such a subject. tan which he ascribes to Jehovah?

However prone the Jews were to idolatry, and the superstitions of the nations around them, it was a truth obviously taught in their Scriptures, that their God was good, and that he had no evil being as a rival to him. So far from giving any counteuance to an evil being called Ahraman, Satan, Devil, or by any other name, all witchcraft, necromancy, or appeals to any other being or power stand condemned, and the Jews were solemnly charged to have no concern with them. Jehovah, and he alone, is declared to be the creator, preserver, and ruler of all things, and all beings in the universe. name given to such persons in the East to this Life and death, sickness and health, prosperity and adversity, are all ascribed to him.

The idea of an evil being, which Christians call the devil and satan, and other nations have designated by a variety of names found no place in the Jewish Scriptures. That the Jews Jearnt such opinions from the heathen, we shall see in the next Section. In concluding our remarks on this account of satan in the book of Job, let us compare what is said in it with the above quotation from Prideaux, and we shall see all that has been advanced strongly confirmed. Let us begin with the term satan? We have seen that this word signifies an adversary. That person or thing, is called a satan to another, which stands in his way, or in any shape opposes him. Thus, the angel of Jehovah, was a satan to Baalam, and the writing sent to Ahasuerus, was a satan to the Jews. Satan, in this account, is represented as opposed both to God and Job. He was their adversary or satan, Prideaux, in the above quotation, informs us, that Ahraman the evil god, was opposed to the good God, and that this opposition would continue to the end of the world. He also informs us that the evil god was considered the author and director of all evil. This is precisely the representation, which is given of satan in the ring it with the quotation from Prideaux, we see why Job's boils are expressly ascribed to satan, without any other agent being concerned in their production. All evil indiscriminately, was ascribed to the evil god or satan, as all good was to the good god. But, as there was no visible agent to which the boils could be ascribed, no agent in this case is mentioned. Satan, or the evil god, has to father this affliction himself, without the assistance of any agent. Hence it is said, satan smote Job with the boils, which is not said respecting his other afflictions, though the whole aspect of the account, is in agreement with considering him the author and director of all evil. I shall only add, that it has always appeared strange, that in this account, satan should be represented as conversing freely and familiarly with God. But if the account be as I have stated, the good and evil gods are here only represented as conversing together. It was in unison with the popular opinions concerning them. (To be continued.)
