UNOOVKKNEll SENSIBILITY.
From " .M irtha,*' by R jv. Andrew Ried.
I soon perceived that Martha's chief sor
row arose from the serious doubts whic
~ possessed her on the reality of her religion
professions. Site had incautiously tiling
led her hopes with her enjoyments ; and 1101
these were gone, site was tempted to thin
nothing was left; that she had been decei\
ed herself, and had deceived others; an
that her religion had been superficial at)
transitory as the morning cloud, which pa:
ses away and is seen 110 more. * * *
I insisted that her ease, was not pcculiai
but common to the people of (rod, that coi
flict was not an accident of Christum lii
hut essential to it; that it belong**1 not to t!
commencement of this life, but that it r;i
: through every stage of it; that it was not
conflict merely with the world, with the po\
ers of darkness, or with the disorderly app
tltes of the body, but that it was a deep, i
ward, unceasing warfare against oursch
1
?our original end strongly-rooted pnnc
pies, desires, and propensities. I support!
my remarks by the masterly and admiral
cx|>osition of the subject in the 7th of lb
mans; and maintained, with the apostl
that a constant and decided conflict of tl
spirit against the flesh, of grace ngainstsi
ot' the new nature against the okl, painful:
it may be, is both a move safe ami access
}>le evidence of Christian character, than tl
most assured hopes or abounding joys. *
Martha was much interested in this into
course. I did not expect her to he suddei
ly relieved ; but her countenance was sotw
what clearer, and her heart evidently liglitt
than at the moment of our meeting, i Ik
a stronger conviction than formerly, that ti
indulgence of excessive feeling was likely 1
be a snare to her; and indeed I could in
avoid ascribing her present distress prine
pally, if not entirely, to this undue sonsibiltl
operated on by a growing perception of hi
man frailty and sinfulness. It wa> a favor
hie opportunity, and I resolved to aecjuaii
her with my impressions.
Martha had said she wished to know tl:
worst of herself.
" The worst I know of you." I rcpliei
" is, that you have too inucli feeling."
"O, brother I wish it were!'" she sai<
incredulously ; "surely we cannot have to
much feeling, if it is right feeling."
" Hut. my dear, if right ieeling, as yo
term it is excessive, it becomes icron^ fee!
ing."
"Hut one cannot always govern one'
feelings," she continued :"and is it not bet
tor to have sometimes an excess of foci in:
and stiller for it, than to sink into indilfer
cncc and selfishness ?"
" Yet why," I replied "should you deter
mine on choosing one of two extremes
.i..*-,, a ~ :.mi a. ..?*
?viivii uiui; ia a ukuwiu uaui ui smu^ mu
com foil open to us ? 1 do not coin mem
indifference ; I do blame sensibility ; I con
denm the excess of it.
"* I beseech you." I continued, with great
er earnestness, in those words, or w ords l<
t!iis effect; '* I beseech you, my dear, no
to trifle with this evil. I consider it to Ix
your natural infirmity ; and if you nurtiw
and indulge it, innocent as it appears if
your eves, it will be as a viper in your bosom.
i cannot help ascribing all your present
uneasiness and sorrow to this source
?indeed I cannot!??
Martha heard a voice in these words
I Could xiot hear ; they sank into her hcari
and she became thoughtful. I knew noi
that they bore so large an application a*
she was making; but I considered that Iiei
reflections once fixed on the subject, wouli
he of abundantly more advantage to hei
than any additional remarks I could idler
'in . i .1 i.. ..... i?.
1 Hill IKT UlOUglUS Ullglll II"'. I"- J?l V. I iKiiiuv
ly disturbed. I left licr to the meditation!
she evidently courted.
Martha's reflections were not those of ai
evening ; they ran through several days am
weeks of this period. All our conversa
tions had been interesting to her; but hej
attention was csj>cciallv arrested by th<
closing one, which, from her peculiar situa
t on, fell like a sudden gleam of light, on :
weakness of character which, until then
shehad considered an excellence. fc>he fount
it diflicult to receive the unpleasant truth
and her pampered feelings had innumerabh
specious pleas to urge in their own favor
l?ut Martha was always ingenuous with her
self; and her indulgence passed into jeal
lousy, led to watchfulness and her watchful
jiess to detection. She saw how easih
an ungoverned sensibility might misleai
the judgment, betray the heart, and undo tin
character which, in all things else, may bi
truly admirable. More than this, she sav
that a sensibility, refined and noble as it ma;
appear, which is not under the rule and di
recti on of high religious principle, is onl;
another name for that gross sclfishnesn wlicl
it professes to scorn and reprobate.
From the Companion to Maternal Solicitude.
The sin of the first mother of inunkiw
is visited upon her female offspring. 1
they arc culled to sustain the relation of pa
rent, they cannot be strangers to the mean
ing of the original sentence. In the prcsen
chapter, we shall revert to the painful see no
through which the female sex arc require)
to pass before they partake of materun
mid sorrows. 1 am aware flint th
mind of a female, in the prospect of nature'
trial, is feelingly alive to every circumstanc
calculated to depress, and 1 shall state notli
ing but what is more or less common to a
the sex; and this I shall do as briefly a
possible, and with a design to prepare th
mind for those rich consolations which
shall afterwards present to litem. In th
pains and sorrows of this j>criod, the bod
and mind are both participators. There i
a. bitterness which tlie heart of a mother a
lone can know, but which she cannot full
express; a class of feelings and iinprej
sions so peculiar, that will admit only of
partial and imperfect development.
These trials may be divided into thre
classes; those which precede, those whic
41'tend, and those which follow. We ska,
begin with those which precede. In som
l t 1 i , .
I cases now inucn weaKness, pain ana aebiL
sorrows t!ie mind is principally the sufferer
;uul this arises from anticipation. It is sel
dom found that the mind takes the most en
" c??uragiug view of approaching affliction:
'' and dangers. They are generally magni
* fied in size, and multiplied in number. Witl
?* : regard to persons who arc exjiecting thi
'v | trial, there is frequently a depression of spi
* i rits attending their situation, arising in man;
" i instances from a physical cause; this i
j aided by a natural and constitutional tear
1 fulness and timidity, when contemplatinj
s* approaching evils. A feeling ot despond
encv will sometimes mix itsclt with th
' prospect of so important a crisis; and eve
i1* in those who profess a reliance upon the di
?? j vine power and promises; who take ct
10 lightened and consoling views of the chai
1,1 j iicter, perfections, and providences of th
;i j Almighty: who have had to record, in sec
v* ; sons of allliction and danger, the mereifi
r" 1 and seasonable interpositions of their Her
"" venly father; even these persons seem t
l[s, discover much of the weakness of liiit!
| and exhibit too much of the prevalence c
1 r ar. And there are but few, if any, wh
,le can look forward to the trying period wit!
' ; out some misgivings of heart, some fearfi
i apprehensions ; and though they may po:
10 j sess much natural fortitude and checrlulnej
n?' of animal spirits, yet even in these there ar
, doubtless moments of inward depressio
and mental doom, as if some dark clou
' were passing across the mind. The hea\
ing sigh which they endeavor to concoa
r* but which they can but half suppress; tli
:1* | involuntary tear starting and trembling i
i the eye, and which is hastily wiped a wee
T* lestbv its glittering it might attract observ;
J J o o o
ltl tion. and seem to betray something wine
111 might be construed into weakness; thes
are unequivocal symptoms of a mind some
r.)l | what anxious and perturbed. The inlej
:l*; prctation of this matter is easy "to him tin
^ i undcrstandcth.*' And indeed an entire ii
; dilfeiXT.cc upon a subject which is allowc
x': to be one of the greatest importance in dt
IK j mestic life, would argue a state of mind nc
1 at all compatible with the circumstances i
10 ; which the individual is placed, nor could
, i be at all congenial with the female charac
; ter. There may be; a false fortitude, a
i well as a false fear; the former, unfeminin
' hardihood : the latter, unbecoming pusilani
0 j mity. There is an observable nvjdiuin be
i twecu " despising the chastening of tli
" | Lord," which is sinful, and " fainting whei
: we arc rebuked of him." There is a dc
! seription of fear, which is perfectlv rcconei

Tllli SILK CULT I'It 1ST.
(0 rWUIi: Executive Committee of the Hartford
JL County Silk Society, have commenced a
monthly publication, called the Silk Culturist
mid Farmer's Manual
The object of the publication is to disseminate
" _ .i .i i_ i.i i*.i _ I.' -r .I..
a uiorougn Knowledge 01 ine ciuuvaiion 01 uie
' .Mulberry Tree, in all its varieties?the rearing of,
i Silk Worms?the production of Cocoons, and the t
reeling of Silk, in the most approved method.
The importance of this knowledge will appoaY
l from tlie fact that tho nctt profits of land devoted
O to the culture of Silk, is double, if not triple to J
tiiat derived from any crop which can be put upon
it. It is also a fact, that every farmer can (
raise several hundred dollars worth of silk, witliout
interfering with his ordinary agricultural
l- operations. But in order to avail himself of this
facility to gain competency and wealth, which
our soil and climate have given him, he must possess
himself of information on the subject?for
without it his attempts will be fruitless. It is, i
'* therefore, the object of the Committee to diffuse
>. | this information as extensively as possible, and
c at the cheapest rate. Tnc publication will con- j
. 1 tain a complete manual or directory from sowing
| the seed to reeling the .Silk, together with such !
? ; facts and experiments, as will enable farmers to
)" raise Silk, and prepare it for market, without furs
I ther knowledge or assistance. It will also con
t. I tain interesting matter on agricultural subjects in ,
i general.
Terms.?The C'ulturist will he published in ,
" monthly numbers of Eight Quarto l'ages, at Fitly
? j Cents a year. No subscription will be received
t; ; unless paid in advance, and for not less than a
. i year.
Subscriptions received by F. (?. Conistock,

i inundations may be addressed, which it*post paid,
