On the contrary, although they are invested by the L'oard of Directors and bringing interest to the owner, yet such are the arrangements of the institution that any depositor can at any time withdraw, by giving one month's notice, two thirds of the amount deposited by him; and by giving three months notice of his intention so to do, may withdraw the whole amount deposited, together with his proportion of the profits of the Institution.

were about seventy dollars a month, but who, from his prodigal and convivial disposition, had not only never laid up a farthing, but was constantly embarras.-ed and pursued by some Deputy Sheriff. His money was worse than wasted, for he not unfrequently spent it in a manner that gave him much trouble and vexation. On paying him off one evening, we recommended him to deposit a

portion of his wages in the Savings' Lank; the advice was received as an interference as to private affairs, and a tart reply followed The advice, however, was followed by a deposit of about twenty dollars that evening, although that sum was greatly needed to satisfy some pressing calls.- The

consentaneous with the design of God, in the institution of marriage, and so necessary to the comfort, interests, a:id purity of the domestic circle, and of society at large, that everv sound and virtuous mind all hut intuitively judges, that thev ought not and cannot be repeated.

When it is considered, that a law on the subject Was necessary for men in general, and more especially for the church; that if Lev. xviii. contain not the law, then there is none extant; and that the law, there recorded, is applied by the Legislator, not only to the Jews, but to the Gentiles also: the conclusion is inevitable, that there we have the div'ne rule, by which all men, especially all who are under the written law, and the light of the Gospel, are bound to regulate themselves in forming the marriage relation, and according to which the church is obliged to exert her influence, and employ her discipline, in guarding the purity of her members, in this matter. ( To lie continued.)

reason to distrust the genuineness of our

seeming concern, our apparent zeal, and lengthy pravers for others in more remote parts. There are peculiar reasons for attempting the

conversion of the Indians, growing out of the fa- j citities we possess for sending them the gospel. j Xo one can be ignorant of the delay, expense and risk incurred in transporting to a great distance, upon a treacherous sea, the Missionaries of the cross, with every thing necessary for their comfort, security and usefulness among the natives. What anxieties ;md suliVrings do they rot endure in their perilous journey '. How often does the everchanging wind oppose their progress, keep them

lor months from the desired port; and, perhaps, finally, when almost at the field of labors; when their eager eyes seem to catch a glimpse of the distant mountain0, and their hearts bound with joy at the brightning prospect before them a sudden tempest rises, sports awhile with their vessel and then dashes it against the rocks of the ocean! Or should they survive every peril, and land securely upon the mission ground, they are exposed to the diseases of a new, and perhaps unhealthy

climate. Their operations are impeded through ignorance of the habits, peculiar views and especially of the language of those to whom they go.

Such is not the case to any great extent, in reference to the American Indians, Pctween them and us, there rolls no world of waters to retard,

distress, or engulph the messengers of peace on their way to tell them how white men worship the Great Spirit. The journey is short and safe; and the necessaries and means required to equip and convey to China or the. Sandwich Islands a single missionary family, would be sufficient to send among the Indians, ten times their number, and sustain them for a year or more in their labors;

Eesides, the climate of these tribes is an American climate, one to which we have always been accustomed) and the diseases prevalent among them, excepting such as arise from their peculiar manner of living, are only those that are common to this country; and from the frequent intercourse

with them by the whites, their customs and languages are in some degree familiar to us.- Interpreters are, in general, easily procured. Missionary intelligence from the Indians' stations to the churches; or instructions, reinforcements, and all necessaries from the churches to them, can be transmitted with despatch and perfect safety. If, therefore, these considerations be weighed impartially: if all prejudice imbibed from infancy against the ''savage Indians,'' be laid aside, who can avoid seeing the fi nger of Providence pointing the American Churches across the Mississippi and on each side of the Rocky Mountains to a missionary field as destitute, as important, and as interesting as almost any other upon the globe! j To be continued.'

T'nr the Standard. Obligations of the American Churches in kela tion to the north american inwans.

IS'o precepts of the New Testiment are plainer, or more imperative, than those which relate to the cause of Missions. "G0 ye therefore and teach all nations." "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." Though, these injunctions were delivered eighteen hundred vears ago, but a few favored spots upon the globe, have yet been enlightened by the rays of Divine Truth; while all the world besides, remains in the grossest moral darkness. Ever since the laborious, the extorsive and

. . . V , V... successful efforts of the Christian? of the first century, the Church has manifested a deplorable apathy and criminal neglect, in the work of evangelizing the heathen. While some excused their indili'ernce to the cause, in their belief, that ihe tjnterprisc of converting the world to God, by human agency was the wildest scheme of fanaticism; others thought their duty fully accomplished, when they prayed with apparent fervor, "Thy kingdom come;" and but few, if" any, of the followers of Christ, have

yet felt in its,' extent, the force of the obligation that rests upon them. Lately, however, the Church as awaked from the sleep of many centuii,.s, an,j caught, in some degree, the spirit of the Apnst!s and primitiveChristians. Mie has heard "the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees," and bestirred herself. She has listened :o "the Macedonian cry" from the populous islands of ihe Pacific; from the wandering tribes of Africa, and the millions of Asia. She is now putting forth her concentrated efforts, and offering up her daily prayers for the

By-Laves of the. Hanover Savings Institution.

ART. I Of Funds. Sec. 1. The funds of this Institution shall consist of the monthly deposites, certificates of which shall be given, signed by tho Treasurer and attested by the Secretary. Six. '2. No monthly depositor or depositors shall be entitled to interest on his, her or their monthly deposites until the close of six months; when a certificate embracing all the deposites of the preceding six months shall be given, bearing interest at the rate of six per cent, signed by the President and Treasurer. Sec 3. Any person or persons wishing to become a monthly depositor or depositors, having approved of the constitution and by-laws and signed the same, shall afiix to his, her or their names the sum to be deposited by him, her or thetn (the same being not less than fifty cents) shall pay

tlie same at the time ol subscribing and continue

to pay a like sum into the treasury of the Institutution monthly thereafter, so long as the person or persons agreeing to make such deposite shall be connected with the Institution. Sec. 4. Monthly deposites must be made with the Treasurer on the second Saturday of each month, between the hours of 8 and 10 o'clock, A. M. And if any person or persons shall neglect or

refuse to make his, her or their deposite, at the time hereby required, he, she or they, as the case may be, shall be fined the sum of ten cents per month for each and every dollar, or at that rate for any sum so remaining unpaid. Provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be so construed as to oblige any person to continue his, her, or their deposites, wiio may have signified an intention to withdraw from the Institution agreeably to the condition hereinafter provided. Sec. 5. Any monthly depositor or depositors

who shall have deposited the sum of twenty dollars or upwards, shall be entitled, when there are

uninvested funds in the Institution, to a loan "fa

sum not exceeding two thirds of the amount de posited.

Sec 6. If any monthly depositor or depositors to

Glioma loan nas Deen made of any part of the

amount oy mm, ner, or tnem deposited, shall neg

lect or refuse to refund the same, or to renew his.

her or their note, and to pay the interest thereon,

until such time as the remaining sum deposited

shall be exhausted by interest, such depositor or

depositors shall have his, her, or their account with the Institution balanced, and shall cease to

be connected therewith

Sec 7. Special deposites will be received, and

ceuiiieateo ismiimi mereior, signed tjy tlie I reasur er and attested by the Secretary; and all such de

positesj if made for from two to four months, shall

bear interest at tlie rate ot four per cent, per an

num; if made for from four to eight months, five

per ccni.; ami ior more than eight months, at the

rate of six percent, per ann. Dut no interest will

be allowed ior a longer time than that agreed upon. The remaining by-laws respecting membership and elections, are not deemed of sufficient interest to merit insertion It may not be improper to remark, that one object! and a prominent one too. in tlie organization of the Association, is, to provide a safe deposite for the funds of students, on which they may draw as they have need. Experience proves that old men, as well as young men, are tempted to be more prodigal in their expenditures when their pockets are lull than when they ara empty, llesides, it is hazardous, for young men and boys to have considerable sums of money about their persons, or even with..i.i .i . .. .

in rooms, as tne irequent losses sustained by 'hem testify. Put here is a deposite in which their money will bo not only safe, but bringing in interest. The beneficial effects of such institutions on the community at large, are every day becoming more

carelessness,

lewd company, wasteful extravagance, and great embarrassment, to that of great attention to business, prudence, economy, and general thrift. In a very few years the subject of this article, had laid up a sullicient sum to purchase at a fortunate period a valuable store, pay down two thousand dollars, which he drew out of the Savings' Dank, and gave a mortgage for the balance; since which the rents have been laid by as a Sinkig Fund, until they have swept away the incumbrance, and left the property clear. The income now amply supports himself and family comfortably, his children are well educated, dressed neat and tidy, and every thing prospers around him such is the effect of this institution on an individual under our immediate observation. The Savings' Dank has,

in tins instance, as in many oiners, saveu a ueipless family from want, and restored an active intelligent individual from ruin and disgrace.

ENCI.AND. On the 1 S til of December, Parliament was prorogued to the

loth of January. A dissolution was considered certain, and

the proclamation to that effect was expected to make its appearance in a very few days. It was, however asserted, that the Tory party would gain but litde increase in strength bv the operation. A letter from the North of Scotland says "I

lou't think the new Government can gain above thiee votes by

a dissolution in Scotland.'' And a friend in the South says "In shoo, Scotland will have one or two Conservatives more,

fewer Willi's, ami more Liberals."

Dissolution of Parliament. After very serious delibera
