I will repeat two passages of Dr. Buckley's argument: ''Certainly if a man assaulted the editor of this paper upon his own premi sesin the night, lie would not hesitate to defend himself by the use of any weapon which would disqualify the opponent for further hostile procecdings. It would be a painful thing tc do and to remember, but it would bt mere painful to be done to death by a villain upon one's own premises.' And further, speaking of an episode in his own experience when be was threatened with assault, he continues "The writer himself carried a revol ver, which in case of necessity, would have been used with all possible accuracy of aim." I regret to have to express my entire dissent from the augument and the finding of the gifted editor Advocate, many of whose remarks upon moral tooics I have read with much interesl and cordial approval, and, further have publicly expressed the same in print. But it has seemed to me thai Friend Bueklcy can hardly have given this matter of the Divine limitations o; self-defence the thorough, prayerfu study that it should receive. As prac tically illustrative of the topic, I sub joiu the following true narrative whicl: I find reprinted in a late issue of the Tract Bcpository, a valuable little pa per published in Philadelphia and cir culated quite largely among the colorpeople in the Southern States. David Sands, whose name appears promi neutly in the narrative, dwelt at Corn wall upon the Hudson, was a miuistei well equipped for the high office iut< which he had been cal'ed by the Grac, of God, and left descendants in th< city of New York some of whom tna\ be personally know to the editor of tin Advocate. The reader may judge whether tin revolver method of taking the life o the "villain" who threatens us, or thai so persuasively presented by Divint lips Matthew, fifth chapter, is the on< which seems most in accord with tin mind of Chri.st.?Josiah \V. Leeds.' david sands. During the revolutionary war, a de tachment of the American army amounting to five hundred men. w'a: stationed near the dwelling of Davie Sands, a minister of the Gospel in th< Society of Friends, who resided a few miles above New York City. VVhiist the troops were quartered nea1*, a secret uneasiness pressed upor the rnlutl of JDavia bunas ana ms wue . Who felt a presentment that some tria lras approaching them. Oue night af ter they had retired to bed, she was v -alarmed by a noise, which her hus baud thought might only be the wine nmong the neighboring trees. In i few minutes they heard some one neai their chamber say, "some of the family are awake, we will shoot them their sleeping-room being on the lirsl floor. David and his whife easily escaped through the window, but oil pacing through it, they were discovered and a pistol wus discharged al the u ; the ball from which graze-1 his forehead. Having on but a scuuv supply of clothing and the night l>ein<i cold, they suffered severely before morning. * After the day dawned, hey returned to their own dwelling which they found plunder, d of ull tlu cash, (about <?50;) most of their Led ding, and even some of their furniture. A servant and his children, whe were sleeping iu a different part of tin house were not disturbed. T>oviil snnn felt. Mint. if- would life riirlll for liirn to go to the encampment. Oi his arrival he found several of the olli cers conversing, who thus aecostec him, "Mr. Sands we have heard of tlx depredation committed at your house and desire to know what you thinl; can be done to discover the offenders.' After a time of solid consideration David informed them that he belie vec if the men were drawn up in rank am file of fifty in a company, he should bi able by following Divine direction, t' detect those concerned in I lie lobbery The officers wondered at this, think ing it impossible, that with 110 outward knowledge of them, he could poini them out. They, however, ordereil out the troops, and David commenced his review. As lie passed down thi flrst rank he paused at the bottom, and theu went on to the second company here he soou stopped before one of tin men, and looking hitu in tlio face, said: "Where wast thou lust night?" he replied, "keeping guard, sir, and u very cold night it was." "Dids't thou find it so while at my house?" At this the man trembled so much, ami displayed such evident marks ol guilt, that he was immediately ordered outof the ranks and put under arrest, In like manner four others of the men were discovered. David then went ti a young officer and asked him how he came to aid and accompany the men t< pillage his house. He denied tin charge. "Let me feel thy heart, and see if that does not accuse thee?" Da vid placed his hand on the officer's breast and finding his heart throbbing bo that it could be felt even up to his neck, he called the other officers te draw near, and see and hear how lii< own heart had become his accuser. There had been eight concerned in the robbery; two of whom should have been at the spot at which Davit! lii'st stopped, but they had deserted before the search commenced. Tbe greatest part of the furniture and bedding, and about one-half ol the money stolen was returned, tin rest was reported lost. The offenders were brought to trial before a civil tribunal, by which, as David did not appear against Hum, they were discharged' but the officers informed him that by martial law, they had forfeited their lives. They were brought bound to his house, ami he was told that he should determine their sentence. Upon this he administered suitable advice to them, forgave them the injury they had done him, and perceiving them to be weary, ordered suitable refreshments for them. Whilst thus this worthy Christian was retaliating in the only manner the spirit of the Gospel allows, his wife said to one of the men, ' Thou art lie who shot at us?" her husband added "he has been told that before." The staff' of officers seemed to think the >young officer must suffer death, 'because he should have been an example to the men ; hut at the earnest eni treaty David, they allowed him an opj)ortunity to make his escape, which lie embraced. The men each received some corporal punishment, to deter others from Hike practices and wore then restored I to the ranks. Several years after this occuranee, David Sands being from lliome on a religious visit, a man came .| tip to him, begged his pardon and ' would have gone down ou his knees if ; he had not been prevented, lie confessed himself to be one of the two al I hided to above, who had deserted to .I avoid detection. He declared that he had never been easy in his mind from the time he committed the crime, and expressed his hope that David would >1 forgive him ; David Sands repneu una it was out of ilis power to forgive sins, but he hoped the Almighty would for' give him, as he had long since forgiven all those concerned in the injury he j had sutlered. The other one of the deserters, who also resided in the neighborhood, then came to him. He appeared to be a re: formed character, was comfortably : married, and had applied to be received into membership with the Society of Friends, After making a confession 1 of his former misdeed, he desired that David in token of forgiveness, would go with him and partake of th? hospi, talities of his house, which he did. TIIE JEW. Traveliug lately through the western t part of Virginia, I was much interestL ed in hearing an old and highly re' spected clergyman give a short account i of a jew. Preaching to a large and att tentive audience, when his attention was attracted by seeing a man having p every mark of a Jew on the lineament of his couutenence ; he was well dtessI ed, his countenance was noble, though - it was evident his heart had lately been the habitation of sorrow. He took his seat, and was all attention, 1 while an unconscious tear was often ; seen to roll down his u.anly cheek. After service the clergyman fixed his eye steadily upon him, and the stranger reciprocated the stare. The ' good minister goes up to him; "Sir, am I correct? Am I not addressing . one of the children of Abraham?" "YoUyare." "But how is it that I meet a Jew in a Christian assembly?" r The substance of his narrative is at ) follows : , He was a very respectable man, ol ; superior education, who had lately T ,m/lfiii mid with his books " his riches, and a lovely daughter ol ; seventeen, had found a charming retreat on the fertile banks of the Ohio. He had buried the companion of his bosom before he left Europe and now ' knew no pleasure but the conipauy o! I his endeared child. She was iudeed ? worthy of a parent's love, and her am> iable disposition threw around her n ' charm superior to any of the tinselled ? decoraiious of the body. No paim ) had been spared on her education, She could read and speak with fluency -e vera I different, languages, and her manners charmed every beholder. Nc wonder then that a doting father, " whose head had now become sprinkled > with gray, should place his whole afj1 fection 011 this only child of his love, ' as he knew no source of happiness be' youd this world. Being a strict Jew, he educated her in the strictest principles of his religion. Ti ,w.l 1/v??A- f Ilia flniltrll. you know"J love you, that you arc t more dear to me than the whole world 1 beside !" "But Father, do you love me?" "Why, my child, will you give ' me such exquisite pain?" "liut, my ; dear father, do you love me?" The father could not answer; the child ; added, "I know, my deal" father, you have ever loved me, you have ever been the kindest of pareuts, and I 1 dearly love you. Will you grant me 1 one request ? Oh! my father, it is the ' dying request of your daughter, will ' you grant it?" '"My dearest child, ask what you will, though it take ev' cry cent of my property, whatever it ' may be, it shall be granted, I wiil | grant it." 1 "My dear father, I beg you never ' again to speak against Jesus of Naza' reth !" The lather was dumb with as1 tonisdiment. "I know," continued i the dying girl, "1 know but little ' about this Jesus, for I was never j uiught, but I know he is a Savior, for he has manifested himself to me since 1 I have been sick, even for the salva 1 tion or my soui. i ueneve ue win save | nic, although I have never before lov! ed him ; I feel that I am going to liiiu, that I shall ever be with him; ' and now, my father, do not deny me ; I beg that you will never again speak 1 against this Jesus of .Nazaieth. 1 en' treat yon to obtain a testament that ; tells of him, and 1 pray you may know ' him, and, when 1 am no more, you * may bestow on him the love that was ' formerly mine." The exertion here overcame the weakne-s of her body. She stopped, and the father's heart was too full even with teais. lie left ' the room in great sorrow of mind, and 1 ere he eould again summon sulHeient ; fortitude, the spirit of his accoinplifh til daughter hail taken its night, as J j trust to thai Savior whom she loved and honored, ' The first thing the parent did after ' committing to the earth his last earthly joy, was to procure a New Testament. Then he lead, and, taught by ' the spirit from above, is now numbef; ed among the mock and humble followers of the Lamb. ** m A bill lias been introduced to pin| siou those who served as army nurses during the late war, of whom "there are many who rendered good services and then the appropriation would help to i deplete the treasury and form Ihe basis . of a plea fur continuing a high tariff. m ?? -?

"Why, yes, Mr. Perkins," he said "take her;" hut lecollecting his legal knowledge, lie caught hold of my coat-sleeve, aud added this casual remark : "I give and bequeath to you, Mr. P21i Perkins, to have and to hold in trust, one half of my right, title, and Jaim, and my advantage, in a dance known as the 'Flying Galop,' with Amelia Johnson, with all her hair, miners, ureciau uenu, rings, iai^, belts, hairpins, smelling bottles, and straps, with all the right and advantage therein, wiih full power to have, hold, encircle, whirl, toss, wriggle, push, jam, squeeze, or otherwise useexcept to smash, break or otherwise damage-?-and with right to temporarily convey the said Amelia Johnson, her baits, rings, paniers, straps, ami other objects heretofore or hereinafter mentioned, after such whirl, squeeze, wriggle, jam, etc., to her natural parents, now living, without regard to any deed or deeds or instrument.-) o! whatever kind or nature soever to the contrary in any way wise notwithstanding." I)o Not Scold.?For the sake of your children don't scold. It is a great misfortune to have children reared in the presence and under the intluencc of a scold. The etl'ect of the evcrlast ' '-2 ....1 i*...i? n..a ! llltf collipiai in 1i? mm laiiii-iiiiviiu^ m sucli persons is to make the young who hear it unamiable, malicious, and callous-hearted, and they often learn to take pleasure in doing the very things for which they receive tonguelashings'. As they are always getting tiie blame of wrong doing, wliethei they do it or not, they think they might as well do wrong as right. They lose all ambition to strive for the fa von able opinion of a fault-finder, since tiiey see they always strive in vain. Thus a scold is not only a nuisance, hut a destroyer of the morals of children.
