Cot gave to Adam a law, aa

dued hitn with power and sbility to keep it. 2. This law after his fall, continued to bea perfect rule of righteousness; and. as such, was delivered by God upon mount Sinai in ten commandments, and written in two tables; the four first commandments containing our duty towards God, and the other six our duty to man. 3. Beside this law, commonly called moral, God was pleased to give to the people of IsrasI, as a church under age, ceremonial laws, containing several typical ordinances, partly of worship, prefiguring Christ, his graces, actions, sufferings, and benefits; and partly holding forth instructions of moral duties. AH which ceremonial laws are now abrogated under the New Testament. 4. To them also, as a body politic, he gave sundry judicial laws, which expired together with the state of that people, not obliging any ether, now, further than the general equity hereof may reqnire. 5. The moral law doth for ever bind all, as well justified persons as others, to the obedience thereof; and that not only in regard of the mat

ter contained in it, but alto in respect of the authority of God the Creator who gave it. Neither doth Christ in the gospel any way dissolve, but much strengthen, this obligation. 6. Although true believers be not under the law as a covenant of works, to be thereby justified or condemned; yet is it of great use to them, as well as to others; ia that, as a rule of life, informing them of the will of God and their duty, it dlricts and binds them to walk accordingly; discovering also the sinful pollutions of their nature, hearts, and lives; so as, examining themselves thereby, they may come to furtberconviction of, humiliation for, and hatred against sin; together with a clearer sight of the need they have of CSrist, and the perfection of his obedience. It is likewise of use to the regenerate, to restrain their corruptions, in that it forbids sin; and the threatenings of it serve to show what even their sins deserve, and what afflictions in this life they may expect for them, although freed from tbe curse thereof threatened in the law. The premises of it, in like manner, show them lied 'a approbation of obedience, and what blessings they may expect upon the performance thereof; although not as due to them

by the law as a covenant of works: so as a man's doing good, and refraining from evil, be-

canse the law encourageth to the one, and deter

rein from the other, is no evidence of his being

. nnder the law, and not under grace.

7. Neither are the foremeutioned uses of the

law contrary to the grace of the gospel, but do sweetly comply with It: the Spirit of Christ

subduing and enabling the will of man to do that freely and cheerfully, which the will of God,

revealed in the law, requireth to be done. CHAPTER XX.

CI CH1ISTIA LIBERTY, AND LIBESTT OS CONSCIENCE The liberty which Christ hath purchased for

believers under the gospel consists in their free

dom from the guilt of sin, the condemning wrath

of God, the curse of the moral law; and in their

being delivered from this present evil world,

bondage to satan, and dominion of sin, from the

evil of afflictions, the sting of death, the victory

of the grave, and everlasting damnation; as also in their free access to God, and their yielding

obedience unto him, not out of slavish fear, bu

a child-like love, and a williue mind. All which

were common also to believers nnder the law

bat under the New Testament, the liberty o

Christians is further enlarged in their freedom

from the yoke of the ceremonial law, to which

the Jewish church was subjected; and in greater

boldness of access to the throne of grace, and i

falter communications of the free Spirit of God

than believers under the law did ordinarily par

take of.

3. God alone is Lord of the conscience, and

hath left it free from the doctrines and com mandments of men which are in any thing con

trary to his word, or beside it, in matters of faith

er worship. So that to believe such doctrines, or

to obey such commandments out of conscience,

is to betray true liberty of conscience; and th

requiring an implicit faith, and an absolute and

bliud obedience, is te destroy liberty of con

science, and reason also.

3. They who, npon pretence of Christian lib

rly, do practice any sin, or cherish any lust, d

thereby destroy the end of Christian liberty

which is, that, being delivered out of the bands

of our enemies, we might serve the Lord without

fear, in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. 4. And because the powers which God hath ordained, and the liberty which Christ hath purchased, are not intended by God to destroy, but mutually to uphold and preserve one another; they who, upon pretence of Christian liberty, shall oppose any lawful power, or the lawful exercise of it, whether it be civil or ecclesiastical, resist the ordinance of God. And lor their

all men; and that it may be accepted, it is to be made in the namo of the Son, by the help of bis

Spirit, according to his will, with understanding, reverence, humility, ferveucy, faith, love, and perseverance; and, if vocal, is n known tongue. 4. Prayer is to be maoe for things lawful, and for all sorts of men living, or that shall live hereafter; but not for the dead, nor for those of whom it may be known that they have sinned the sin unto death. 5. The reading of the Scriptures with godly fear; the sound preaching, and conscionable hearing of the word, in obedience onto God, with understanding, faith, and reverance; singing of psalms with grace in the heart; as, also, the dne administration and worthy receiving of the sacraments instituted by Christ; are all parts of the ordiuary religious worship of God: besides religious oaths, and vows, solemn fastings, and thauksgivings npon special occasions; which are, in their several times and seasons, to be used in an holy and religious manner. 6. Neither prayer nor any other part of reli

gious worship, Is now, under the gospel, either tied unto, or made more acceptable by any place lu which it is performed, or towards which it is

irected: but God is to bo worshipped every

here in spirit and in truth; as in private fami-

ies caily, and in secret each one by himself, so

more solemuty in the public assemblies, which

re not carelessly or wilfully to be neglected or

forsaken, when God, by his word or providence.

calleth thereunto.

7. As it is of the law of natnre, that, In gene

ral, a due proportion of time be set apart for the

woreip of God; so, In his word, by a positive, moral, anJ perpetual commandment, binding all

men in all ages, he hath particularly appointed

ne day in seven for a Sabbath, to be kopt hoi y

ato him: which, from the beginning of the

world to the resurrection of Christ, was the last

ay of the week; and, from the resurrection of

Christ, was changed into the first day of the

week, which in Scripture is called the Lord's-

ay, and is to be continued to the end of the

worl J, as the Christian Sabbath.

8. This Sabbath is then kept holy onto the

Lord, when men, after a due preparing of their hearts, and ordering of their common affairs beforehand, do not only observe an holy rest all

the day from their own works, words, and thoughts, about their worldly employments and recreations; but also are taken up the whole time in the public and privite exercises of his

worship, and In theduttesof necessity and mercy.

CHAPTER. XXII. OV LAWFUL OATHS AND VOWS. A lawful oath is a part of religious worship,

wherein upon just occasion, the person swear-

ng, solemnly calleth God to witness what he

asserts or promiseth; and to judge him according to the truth or falsehood of what he sweareth.

2. The name of God only is that by which

men ought to swear, and therein It is to be used

with all holy fear and reverence; therefore to

swaar vainly or rashly by that glorious nnd

dreadful name, or to swear at all by any other

thing, is sinful, and to be abhorred. Yet as, in

matters of weight and moment, an oath is war

ranted by the word of God under the New Tes

tament, as well as under the Old, so a lawful oath, being imposed by lawful authority, in

such matters ought to be taken.

3. Whosoever Ukelh an oath ought duly to

consider the weightiness of so solemn an act, and therein to avouch nothing but what he is

fully persuaded is the truth. Neither may any

man bind himself by oath to any thing but what is good and just, and what he believeth so to be, and what he is able and resolved to perform. Yet it Is a sin to refuse an oath touching any thing that Is good and just, being imposad by lawful authority. 4. An oath is to be taken in the plain and common sense of the words, without equivocation or mental reservation. It cannot oblige to sin; but in any thing notsinful, being taken, It binds to performance, althongh to a man's own hurt:

nor is It to be violated, although made to heretics

or infidels. 5. A vow is of the like nature with a promia

sory oath, and ought to be made with the like

religious care, and to be performed with the like

faithfulness.

G. It is not to be made te any creatnre, but to Goe alone: and that it may be accepted, it is to be made voluntarily, out of faith and con

science of duty, in way of thankfulness for mer

cies received, or for obtaining of what we want;

whereby we more strictly bind onrselvee to necessary duties, or to other things, so far and

so long as they may fitly conduce thereunto 7. No man may vow to do any thing forbidden in the word of God, or what would hiuder any only therein commanded, or which is not in his own power, and for the performance

whereef he hath no promise or ability from God

From the Saturday Gazette. A pirn for Trrcs and Flowers. BY MRS. NEAL. 'Oh, they look upwa'tl in every place In this beautiful world ol ours, And dear aa the smiles on an old friend's face I the mi l of the bright, bright flowers. They tell us of wandering hy wood and atreama, They tell us of flowers and trees; But the children of shower" and sunny hours Hue lovelier tale than these The bright, bright flowers!' Ah yet, the poor man's garden! It is great joy to me. This little, preeirtis piece of gronud Before his door to see! Mary Howitt. We scarcely wonder that the country seems so uninviting to the mass of the city population when we remember how little is done by those who are born and reared there, to make their homes comfortable and cheerful. The pretty villas and vine-embowered cottages which one meets in the environs of a large city, are almost without exception the residences of town-bred people, whoso tastes have been formed bv intel-

by and by, a vine honeysuckle or clematis, will come creeping up to the window with its long pendant sprays of fragrance; and the children of the field and the forest.'the fresh blue violet, the shrinking anemone, the fragile twin flower, or tbe hardier foxglove, will be invited to soften and tone the gaudier colors of the parterre, and to flourish in wilder luxuriance eveu thi n in their native haunts. Then we shall begin to wonder how we could have been blind so long to these pure and gentle influences, and open our hearts to all that is lovely in nature, and our homes to the refinements of intellectual cultivation, as little prized before as the forest flowers that were suffered to wither unnoticed in the shady nooks, or the trees that waved unheeded on the hill side.

From the Plains. A letter from Fort Laramie to the St. Louis Republican, dated on the 23th ult., says; "The gold diggers have all disappeared

leisure to lavish upon the embellishment of their

suburban retreats. But take a fair sample of a modern country village. One long straight street, ankle deep with sand or dust, no tidy side-walks and the narrow foot-path half the time too miry for use. At the one end is the "meeting house," a sqnare white wooden structure, without shade, and fronted by a green where ducks and pigs roam in unrestrained freedom. The houses are scattered between this and the tavern, which marks the remote extremity of the village, most of them too small for comfort and convenience, and placed close to the road side. It would seem that only in the city, where every additional foot of ground is counted almost by hundreds are rooms large enough for free ventilation, properly prized. One "west end" parlor could often contain an ordinary cottage, and its diningroom has an area equal to the "parlor, kitchen and hall" of many a farmer's house. But we were speaking of exteriors, and first of all are principally reminded of the lack of shade, of ornamental shrubbery, and even of the bright freshness of a grass plot, which too many houses exhibit. All day long the thin walls are exposed to the intense heat of a summer sun,

which penetrates the "clapboards" as easily as an awning, and heats the small, close apartments.

for the delicate beauty of nature, the wavi ng of

fresh fo!iag, the soft hues of slowly opening flowers, or the green clasping of a vine's clinging tendril. Like the landscape around them, their natures are h trd and coarse, impervious to the more tender and refined emotions, and lacking many of the essential elements of the enjoyment of pure end simple pleasures. "They toil, they reap, they gather into barns," but are

But it is situated behind the kitchen, a square, unadorned enclosure, bounded by potato hills and beet beds, and too ofteu crossed and re-crossed by an interlacing of clothes linesi with their bean-pole supporters and fantastic burdens.

or the wind rudely slaps in your face the corner

There will be about eight hundred and fifty Mormon wagons that will go out this season to the Valley of the Salt Lake.— They will average about four persons to the wagon." ----- Railroads. The Knickerbocker contains the following curious statement: "According to a late table of statistics, there were in operation at the commencement of 1849,

in different parts of the globe, a total length of

18,656 miles of railway, on which a capital of $1,840,000,000 had been actually expended.— Besides this, it is estimated that there were at the same epoch in progress of construction 7,839 miles, the cost of which, when completed, would be $730,000,000. Thus, when these latter lines shall have been brought into operation, the population of Europe and the United States (for it is there only that railroads have made any pro-

gress) will have completed, within the period of less than a quarter of a century, 26,475 miles of

railway; that is to say, a greater length than would completely surround the world, at a cost of above two thousand millions of dollars. To

accomplish this stupendous work, human industry must have appropriated out of its annual savings $100 000 000 for twenty-five successive years. Of the total length of railways in actual operation in all parts of the globe, 67 miles in every 100 are in the United States—a fact as complimentary to our resources as it is flattering

to our enterprise and go-aheadativeness." ----- ----->Dickens, in his Household Words, gives

the following as aliteral transcript of an inscrip

tion on a tombstone iu a churchyard in Dorsetshire, viz:

Here lies the body of Lady O, Loony, great

niece of Bnrke, commonly called thesublime. She was bland, passionate, deeply religious; also,

she painted in water colors, and sent several pic

tures to the exhibition. She was first cousin to

Lady Jouea; and of such is the kingdom of Hea

ven!

to have been written on the tomb-stone of the

builder of a certain Church in England; which was as follows:

"Here lies John Trollop, Who made these stones to roll up, When God Almighty took his soul up His body went to fill the hole up.

Some time during the day one of his sons was taken suddenly ill, another was severely bitten by a copperhead snake, and a third, while in search of his mother to inform her of the casualties which had befallen the family, was thrown violently from the horse upon which he was riding, and badly injured.

Pendicg debate on the proviso the Senate went into Executive session. Hocst Mr. Strong moved that the House take up the coutested election case, but gave way to Mr. Potter who moved that it be postponed two weeks, which was agreed to. Reports from Committees were then msde. Mr Stanley, from Committee appointed to enquire what persons, nnder the lute administration, holding office weie engaged in electioneering against Gen. Taylor, contributing te presses, &c , reported in part lhat Mr. Ritchie of the Union and E.SequeusU ik, late warden of the Penitentiary, refused to answer as wituesses. The Committee asked for advise and orders. Mr. Stanley offered a resolution, that the 3peaker issue a warrant directed to the Sergeant

at Arms ta tike into custody Thos. Ritchie and E. T. Sequeustack; and that they be brought to tha bar of the House for alleged coutempt, and that they be allowed cojnsel if they desired it. The morning hour having expired, the House proceeded to dispose of business on Uie Speaker's table. Several Executive communications were then read . The bill establishing Ter.Itorial Governments for Utah was read by lhe title when Mr. Eoyd moved lo refer it to the committee on Territories carried. Mr. Sweetzer moved that lhe House go Into Committee of the Whole with a view lo taking up the bill.

The Speaker said it was not in order to go

into committee on any bill. The Commitleo mustdecMe what business it would lake np.

The House then refused to go into Committee of the W hole. Yeas 62, nays 140. The bill lo settle the Texis boundary line was read. Mr. luge suggested that it be presented by the 116th rule. The Speaker said the question Is, shall tha bill be rejected. The rule is that the first reading of the bill shall bfi for information and if no opposition be made to it, the question shall be, shall this bill be rejected. If no opposition or if the question to reject be negallved, the bill shall go lo second reading. Mr. IIi!liard spoke in favor of giving Texas $10,000,000 and eulogised our Government above all others of Ancient or Modern times. After much confused debate, the question "shall the bill be rejected" was put and decided

in the negative. Yeas 34 nays 163.

An ineffectual attempt was made to amen4 when the Houi-a adjourned. A word for the Lndlra. Mrs.Swisshelm, of the Pittsburgh Saturday Visiter, gives the following characteristic coun

very curious style of locomotion. "Walking is getting out of fashion, and young women now-a-daya wriggle along as if they were moved ahead by Erickson's patent propellers. Their walk is as crooked as that of a ship with all sail and no rudder. They are as grace ful as a militia colonel's horse, or a "broken down rtcer."

ity, and hope something will come of it.

In the debate which arose on this bill, the Delegate from Oregon elated that his actual expenses in going to Washington and returning to Oregon, amounted to 600 each way; aud yet the sum he receives aa mileage under the present law, enables him to pocket a small fortune

over and above his expences. On the other haud

the member from Maryland receives but a com

unjust to be much longer tolerated. IVelhing Perfect.
