"A'e see the

within us. The natural disposition is to indulge in ease; and in order to induce any one to submit to the toil of labor, a motive suficientlv strong to overcome this disposition must be applied. The man who has no higher ainbitien than, in a plain way, to Mippon his family, confines his efforts to this olject, and consequently has much spare time on hands. Give him assurance, however, thatbv employing this spare time, in his ordinary occupation, he may secure wealth and honor, and a motive sufficiently strong to overcome his love of ease is given, ami he gathers up the fragments of his time. They promote economy. The first business ol

economy is to lop oil" all unnecessary expenses. A useless horse will very soon eat off his own head. The same may l,e said of all other useless ,?omest;c animals. x0 lnrmj therefore, who has any pre tensions to economy, will burden himself wiih useless or unproductive stock. The next care i to prevent waste; turning every thing both in doors and on! to some valuable purpose.

And there are probably but few la ."'lilies m which lli.re

tne ( onfession o! rami, instead ol being a bond ot union and a means of strength, is made a sourcce of contention, ami an instrument of division and destruction. The conclusion at which the Westminister Divines arrived, relative to the prohibited degrees in mairiage a conclusion, which harmonizes wiih the general voice of the christian world for ages past, and which has been adopted as being agreeable to Scripture, by American Presbyterians, is thus stated: " .Marriage ought not to be within the degrees of consanguinity or affinity forbidden in the word; nor can such incestuous marriages ever be made lawful by any law of man, or consent of parlies, so as those persons may live together as man and wife. The man may not marry anv of his wife's

kindred nearer in blood than he may of his own, nor the woman of her husband's kindred nearer in blood than of her own." Conf. of Faith, chap, xxiv. sec. 4. Notwithstanding the explicitncss of this constitutional law of the Presbyterian church, founded upon the word of God, as every proposition of the Confession of Faith professes to be, and the brief

repetition of it, contained in the Directory for Wor

ship, chap, xi.sec. 3, cases of marriage within the prohibited degrees occasionally occurred, and were brought up by reference, or appeal, to the General Assembly. This body, in 1!1, instead of deciding a ease of this kind, according to the Confession of Faith, adopted certain temporizing resolutions, in which the matter was treated as if unsettled and doubtful, and referred back to the Session, from whose sentence the party had appealed to the Presbytery, and from the Presbytery to the General Assembly. In IBM, another case, precisely similar, came by appeal before the Assembly; and still, as if the Confession of Faith had not been explicit, or had been of no authority, the tiestion was referred to a committee, to report to the next General Assembly. This committee made

no report: and the Assembly ot IUJj continued it.

In lbjt;, a new committee was appointed, who, in then ,-r port, advised ihat an overture should be stmt dov.-n to the Presbyteries, requiring thorn to

decide whether jh,. laiter part ot the 4th section ot the Mill c.hap-.or of the Confession of Faith should be erased, or re-i. in, (I , and to send n p their decisions to the next General Assembly. 1 11 11127, there were, in all, JU!
