te?M?Hieggwmmmwmm?????? PAHLM'S DEPARTMENT. From II ill's Lectures ou the Religious Education of Children. I now proceed to specify some of the ^lEAN'Sr-on which tiic most reliance is to be placed, in a course of effort to bring up children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. The first and most important is prayer. Without this, all others must fail. The prayer of faith may, alone, be attended with the most important results. Prayer is the moral lever, by which the devoted saint may move the world. It is that means which God most frequently blesses to the spiritual goo l of those who are destitute of religious feelings. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availoth much with God. Prayer 44 gives exorcise to f::th and love, brings every blessing from above." 1 What man is there amongst you, who if 1 * >11 - Ml L _ _? 1_ _ , I ills son usk ureau, win lie give nun a siuuo: ( or il* he ask him a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give goo J gifts to your children, how much more shall vour heavenly Father give , * * /? t ic Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Of | effecting all the great moral changes in our j ( world, prayer is the most successful r.cans. i " Wrestling prayer can wonders do, j ( IJring relief in deepest straits: j Prayer can force a passage through Iron bars and brazen gates." ; ' You are to employ this as the first moans * lor the spiritual welfare of the children Clod ' has given you. "Tinsduty commences," 1 says Mr. James, "with the birth of the chiid; nay before,?for in the very prospect of its birth, tlicre should be earnest prayer * offered to God, for divine grace to discharge | thus i obligations which the expected charge 1 t c ^ I w ^ w ill bring upon the conscience of the father and mother. And from that time till the ' death of.either parent or child, earnest,secret. ! believing pravcr, should never cease to be 1 w 1 * ? - l presented for our offspring. Our prayers ' should principally respect the spiritual wellare of our children. Daily should we wrcs- ! tie with God tor their eternal salvation. ! ilow little can we do at most for their web fare; and how inefficient without God's aid, ' is all that we can do. That parent has neglected an important part of Ins duty, who has neglected, for a single day, to bear his children on his heart before God in private 1 prayer. Who can subdue their tempers, or change their hearts, but God ? and we * I are not authorized to expect it without prayer. It is necessary also, not only to pray Jor hut to pray ^cith them. 1 Icnce, certainly, wo should take them apart, each by himself, to c >mmend them to God, and thus make ; them witnesses of our deep solicitude, and 1 our intense agony for their eternal welfare. 1 If thev have been wicked and disobedient, y # / j: may be well alter they have been brought to a right state of feeling, and we ourselves 1 Jiave forgiven them, to conuuct tnem to a * 1 hronc of grace, anil plead fur forgiveness { lor them there." ' Family Prayer, properly conducted, is a very important means of Christian educa- * tion. The necessity and propriety of this, ( arises out of the constitution of the family; ' and were it not enjoined in the word of God, < cither by precept or example, would be still J binding 6n the conscience of every praying, faithful parent, by the relation in which he < stands to his family, and the extent of their t dependence on God. Do we not want family < mercies, and who can bestow them but God 1 < So obviously obligatory is this duty, and so i naturally does its performance arise, out of * all our conjoint feelings as parents and Chris- t tians, that those who neglect it, cannot even i pretend to (eel the right influence of Godii- | ness. The following remarks, by the same * author, are so important, that I am unwilling I to withhold them. Family prayer." should < be observed with the greatest regularity and 1 si a uninterrupted constancy. What a disgrace to a parent is it for a child or domestic I to inquire, are we to have prayers this morn- 1 ing, or this evening ? IIow can it be omitted for a day, without danger and without < sin ? ; "All the members of the family should ; be present, except very young children, who i cannot be made to sit still, and whose in- \ quietude and restlessness are a disturbance ? to all the rest, and utterly destroy the solem- i nity of the service." ? It should be attended in the morning at a < season most convenient, and when there will < be the least probability of interruption. Eith- j cr immediately after rising, or immediately after the morning meal. Sonic families are guilty of a practice which merits reproof, ' viz. attending to family worship, while some ] individuals are employed in preparing for i the morning repast, by which the attention ( is diverted from this important duty.* Kami, ly worship should be performed in the evening as soon as the labors of the day are 1 finished?and before the younger members I of the family are disqualified for a profitable 1 attendance on this duty by a disposition to j sleep. No one, who is old enough to be < - i ? -i J i li* .it ! Deoentica, snouia ou suuerou iu muv 10 rusi till after evening worship. Every member 5 of the family should be present, both morn- i ing and evening, unless piovidontially de- , | tained. Servants, domestics, or laborers, ought not to be permitted to absent them- ! selves. " When it is practicable there should be a fixed hour, which should be most sacredly kept, and not interfered with, except at the l dictate of absolute necessity. J i A portion of the Holy Scriptures should j be rcad-*-in a regular course, taking care ] to select tne most devotional .parts for this < service, and not a chapter picked out, or stumbled on by accident. The Scriptures should be audibly read, and in a reverential manner, and with a devotional spirit, for very great evils result from reading the Scriptures in a careless or irreverent manner. It is , well to require children and domestics to . have Bibles, that the eye may help the car Iin fixing the attention of the mind." Short expositions may with great propriety be gi- J yen, by the parent, or read from some ap- ] proved commentator. Those parts, which i This remark applies particularly to those < families who are employed in agricultural labors, s tml where the mistress of the family is engaged in provHlr.g refreshment for the hoiiachoM. says l)r. DwigSit, ** parents prjty for their children, and chiltlron for their parents ; tlic husband for the wife, and the wife for the husband; while brothers and sisters send ip tiieir requests to the throne of infinite mercy, to call down blessings on each othWho that wears the name of man, :an be inditlorcnt here ? Must not the venerable character of the parent, the peculiar tenderness of the conjugcl union, the affectionate intimacy of the filial and fraternal relations?must not the nearness of rcla:ions long existing?the interchange of kindness long continued, and the oneness af interests long cemented?ail warm the heart, heighten the imj>ortancc of every pe[ijion, and increase the fervor of every devotional effort." No instrument to effect the important objects of Christian oducaion is so needful, as that fervent, persever Ing prayer of faith which lias been implied in the foregoing rcmaiks. The effect is first produced ou the parent, and then on :ho child. The parent becomes interested in the great subjects, which are made the burden of his petitions from hour to hour, md from day to day. He becomes con. i'ineed of the value and importance of Christian education. He becomes qualified to act and uses unwearied efforts to benefit the souls committed to his charge, with reference to the great subject which rests with so much weight on his mind. The cultivation of devotional feelings prepares him to labor, to instruct with earnestness, and to watch with intense interest, the result of efforts made in their behalf. On the child, dso, it produces important effects. It con daces him of the sincerity oi the parent, md that he more earnestly desires his sal. ration than any thing else. It leads him to lontemplute his spiritual interests as those ivhich are far more important to be secured han any temporal good. It will lead him o pray for himself, and not only to pray, )ut to strive to enter in at the straight gate. But if the conversion of children docs lot succeed immediately, or in the lifetime if the parents, it is impossible for them to esist the influence of prayer. They arc convinced of the truths which God's word weals, and of the necessity of a holy life. rhev will be better children, better members )f society:?will make better friends?bet* er husbands, wives, or parents, from the pi>us influence which they have t/ius cxperiinccd. Thcv arc in a state in which it is easonablc to hope the Gospel will produce in effect on their hearts. The parent who Jesires that his children should become vhat God requires, must, and ought to make )rayer one of the greatest ana most con. ;ta:it moans. From this he has a right to tope much. But let it ever be rememberid, however, that it is not the cold, formal, ifeless prayer which is so often witnessed? 'tis not that prayer which has 110 effect on :hc parent, and which ascends no higher :han the head from which it originates. No, by no means. It is that piavcr which produces effect on the parent as well is the child, and which will be attended with 1 course of daily conduct corresponding to t. Parents have 110 right to hope, while ;hey ask favors of God, and conduct themselves in direct opposition to their prayers, [hat these will prevail. Unfeeling, formal, selfish prayers, will never reach the throne }f God. Here is found one great reason why so many of the children of the church ire still out of the fold pf Clirist. [The preceding remarks seem to leave 3ut of view the important truth that the prayer of faith is answered. The impious, 'tifidel theology, too common now in this country, which overlooks or undertakes to explain away the peculiarities?the plain meaning, of the Bible, has to be carried but a little farther and it will be identical with [he Rationalism of Germany. What mockery would it bo in the Deity to invite md urge men jto~pray to him, if the only xnswcr to their prayers were the mere natural effect of the exercise upon their affec. lions.?Ed.] Ran Away / FROM my plantation near Benncttsville, last fall, my negro woman SILVY, about fifty revs of age.

Singing is an inteicsting und important addition to the solemnities of tamily worship, and ought, whenever it is possible, to be cultivated, as a preparation for this department of social worship. The prayer which follows, should be intelligible to the youngest children present. It should be fervent, not dull and formal? not so lengthy as to weary, and not so short as to prevent presenting the wants of the family at the throne of grace. The prayer of the head of the family should be in a very peculiar degree family prayer. It should respect the children, the domestics, and also all the circumstances of the household. All should feci that the service belongs to them, - and not merely to ine uiumuuui wuu or to the church, or the world. But fervor, life, mid earnestness, as opposed to what is dull and formal, is of immense conseqaencc.' 'In the devotion of this little assembly," Beckwlth** Anti-IMupcpHc Pills.

THE SILK CULTURIST. ?r THE Executive Committee of the Hartford County Silk Society, liave commenced a ? monthly publication, called the Silk Culturist i %nd Farmer's Manual. ? The object of tho publication is to disseminato ! 1 thorough knowledge of the cultivation of the R Mulberry Tree, in all its varieties?tho rearing of i ^ Silk Worms?the production of Cocoons, and tho he reeling of Silk, in tho most approved method. M rho importance of this knowledge will appear J ^ from the fact that the nott profits of land devoted to tho culture of Silk, is double, if not triple to I that derived from any prop which can be put up- ! * an it. It is also a fact, that every farmer can ; ? raise several hundred dollars worth of silk, with- ! ni out interfering with his ordinary agricultural ! jj operations. But in order to avail himself of this ! facilitv to train compotencv and wealth, which j O ( ? Dtir soil and climato have given him, he must pos- m jess himself of information on tlie subject?for w< ivithout it his attempts will be fruitless. It is, fa therefore, the object of tho Committee to diffuse this information as extensively as possible, and it the cheapest rate. Tne publication will con- m tain a completo manual or directory from sowing nc tho 6ced to reeling tho .Silk, together with such cc facts and experiments, as will enable farmers to ar aise Silk, and prepare it for market, without fur. her knowledge or assistance.
