I have known children to whojn lhat name was a greater power than school-teacher, or than father or mother. And I believe that parents should seek to develop the religious naturo oI their childron. I believe there ought to be such instruction in the household as that children shail grow up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord from the beginning. I do not mean to set aside the doctrine of conversion, but I say that it does not require any such mechanical, formal method as many supposo. When a child knows enough to look up to Christ and say, " My Christ," and to feel, " I do want to live bo as to please thee," ha is convarted. II may require afterward mora voluminousness. There are many parts of the unfolded life that have to be transformed, formed again; but in the child the simple act of loving Christ—of clinging to him—I hold to be the purest and least obstructed form of oonversion. Faith and love are the beginnings of Christian character in children. S. S T 4 .R K, Jg II T L E E HOUSE, Q.EO. W. BRAINERD & CO., g O M E T H I NG NEW! ! Geologists make it pretty certain the American oontinent is the oldest in the series. But the idea prevails that man has not occupied it so long as he has Asia, Africa, and Europe.— This is mere assumption. If pains wore deliberately taken to classify the evidences that might be collected to show the antiquity of the works of man on both sides of the Rocky Mountains it would conclusively pr»vo that man was here at a vastly remote period, even anterior to the mound-builders, and they flourished, perhaps, several thousand years before the advent of the Indians. It is not difficult to make reference to four distinct races who have existed hera, fulfilled their destiny, and disappeared. Their demiadvanees in civilisation is faintly indicated by the merest fragments of designs, but which man alone could produco. How many races or generations had preceded even the oldest of the old of which we have vestigos is lost in the accumulating lumber of unrecorded oycles. c. attorney PITTSTON, PA., THE REV.

NUGENT, Ifo. 3 and 4, Fulton Market, Where children aro full of sentiment, and affection, and hope and strong sensibility, it does not seem to me wise to feed them with those sterner aspects of God's character which belong j to hardened, rebellious men. Why, to take a little child that is unsullied, and that is willing upon the first representation to cling to Christ in love, and to tell him of one whose fury burns to the lowost hell, and to explode in his ears all thoso thunders with which God meets the hard and incorrigiblo, is noedless and unwise. This showing to children the corruptions and miseries of mon in the lowest stages of lift*, as a part of the regimen of wholesome up-bringing in the family, is unnecessary and injurious. The elements of God's character aro distributed, as it were, in revelation, to meet the exigencies of the minds of men in every stage; and there are parts of the divine character which are revealed that they may have their effect, not on the pure and innocent, but on sinners—on vicious men, on men abusers of themselves and their fellow-men. There are phases of God's character which are juridical and penalty-bearing, and there are men to whom arevelation of these phases is indispensable; bat there are many to whom such a revelation is not essential. And you cannot treat all men, or men and children, or all children alike in these regards. I think that many children are led by a thread, as it were.by Christ, and that he leads them all fteir life. Then there are many children that have to go through a more serious discipline. They have constitutionally a more discordant nature. Many children have to be seasoned together, so to speak. Their faculties are in juxtaposition rather than' in unity. Harmony in them has to come through an artificial process. You shall see children that aro of ono disposition when they aro young, but that, when they come to be fifteen or sixteen years old, are so totally chang ed that you would not know them. I know of one very docile, traotable, lovable child, that ufDed to be fierce and unlovely, and that instead of believing everything, believed nothing. Now it is completely transformed. I have known children that were excessively disagreeable and very unpromising while they were tinder twelve or fifteen years of age, who after that began to have the moral sontiments developed in them, and seemed to take on elements that gave balanco to their minds, and rendered them mild and sweet in their disposition. Ferhaps you may know somo stfch ! You can hardly do anything with them as childron. But as they grow oldor they come to thoir own relief. NEW YORK, Opposite C. Law & Co.'s Cash Storo, Main St., pARIS MILLINERY AND Men are all sinful; none aro borne other than sinful, and probably none ever will be; but it does not follow on that account that the doctrino of human sinfulness should be the meat and drink of a child's education. "Yet, I cannot doubt that that was the predominant truth which rested on my mind. From the representations which I heard, not only, but from tho carriago of my parents and of other Christians toward me, the fact seemed to me to be about this: No man is worth anything whatever beforo God till he has been converted ; and conversion is a dramatic pause in a man's natural life, by which, through the agency of the Holy Ghost, truth is ministered to him, after which he is victorious over sin, and everything goes right with him. Previous to that it is considered that a man i* a natural man ; that, as my father used to teach, it is not possible for him to do anything to please God. And my childish impression was, that after he was a Christian he could hardly do anything that would not please God. He became then a favorite with God.

M. J. HARRIS, Agent -INSURANCE CO., gCRANTON BOOK BINDERY. The question was, what to do with children. In the first place,conversion was keyed so high, it depended upon such high motives, it required such refinement of the intellect and such loftiness of the moral sentiments, that a child was not considered capable of attaining it. It was thought to be a problem too difficult for young minds to grasp. Children were taught that they were sinners, and needed to be converted ; and yet, there was a kind of not knowing on the part of parents what to do. They seemed to think that all they could do was to bring them up as best they could, till they came to the age when they might be converted and become good Christians. And that was just about the way I was dealt with. I had powerful religious impressions, and I was treated as though my state of mind would bo of use some time when I had become older, and it could be worked up, but as though that time hnd not yot printer is the adjutant of thought, and this explains the mystery of the wonderful wcrd that can kindle a hope as no song can; that can warm a heart as no hope can; that word "we" with hand-in-hand warmth in it—-for the author and the printer are engineers to-gether.

I would have given all the world to havo had my mind relieved on certain points that troubled mo, but nobody came to my relief—not even my father or my mother. They talked to me about religion ; but not in the way that I needed to be talked to. My mother would sit down and say to me, "You know that you have by nature a sinful heart, and that unless you are born again you cannot enter the kingdom of God"—and down, down, would go the mercury in me!— "God is angry with the wicked every day." I knew that before, and I had trembled a hundred times in the dark to think how God was angry with me. "All your thoughts and purposes are impure.

I never until then had a senso of God's tenderness and gontlenoss, such as is described in the old Testament Scripturos, where ho is represented as watching his flock, and taking up the young and tender-footed in his arms, and carrying them over the rough places.

I knew he would take care of me when I was converted ; but I was not converted. I knew I should not lack for divine help when I had become a true christian, but I did not expect it until I had in some way, by faith, or repentance, or something else, overcome the evil that was in me, and become good.

And not only that, but as soon as they come to discriminate moral qualities in persons I think they may be able, in their way, to discern moral quality in God—to love it and to be affected by it.

I have known children to whojn lhat name was a greater power than school-teacher, or than father or mother. And I believe that parents should seek to develop the religious naturo oI their childron. I believe there ought to be such instruction in the household as that children shail grow up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord from the beginning. I do not mean to set aside the doctrine of conversion, but I say that it does not require any such mechanical, formal method as many supposo. When a child knows enough to look up to Christ and say, " My Christ," and to feel, " I do want to live bo as to please thee," ha is convarted. II may require afterward mora voluminousness. There are many parts of the unfolded life that have to be transformed, formed again; but in the child the simple act of loving Christ—of clinging to him—I hold to be the purest and least obstructed form of oonversion. Faith and love are the beginnings of Christian character in children. S. S T 4 .R K, Jg II T L E E HOUSE, Q.EO. W. BRAINERD & CO., g O M E T H I NG NEW! ! Geologists make it pretty certain the American oontinent is the oldest in the series. But the idea prevails that man has not occupied it so long as he has Asia, Africa, and Europe.— This is mere assumption. If pains wore deliberately taken to classify the evidences that might be collected to show the antiquity of the works of man on both sides of the Rocky Mountains it would conclusively pr»vo that man was here at a vastly remote period, even anterior to the mound-builders, and they flourished, perhaps, several thousand years before the advent of the Indians. It is not difficult to make reference to four distinct races who have existed hera, fulfilled their destiny, and disappeared. Their demiadvanees in civilisation is faintly indicated by the merest fragments of designs, but which man alone could produco. How many races or generations had preceded even the oldest of the old of which we have vestigos is lost in the accumulating lumber of unrecorded oycles. c. attorney PITTSTON, PA., THE REV.

NUGENT, Ifo. 3 and 4, Fulton Market, Where children aro full of sentiment, and affection, and hope and strong sensibility, it does not seem to me wise to feed them with those sterner aspects of God's character which belong j to hardened, rebellious men. Why, to take a little child that is unsullied, and that is willing upon the first representation to cling to Christ in love, and to tell him of one whose fury burns to the lowost hell, and to explode in his ears all thoso thunders with which God meets the hard and incorrigiblo, is noedless and unwise. This showing to children the corruptions and miseries of mon in the lowest stages of lift*, as a part of the regimen of wholesome up-bringing in the family, is unnecessary and injurious. The elements of God's character aro distributed, as it were, in revelation, to meet the exigencies of the minds of men in every stage; and there are parts of the divine character which are revealed that they may have their effect, not on the pure and innocent, but on sinners—on vicious men, on men abusers of themselves and their fellow-men. There are phases of God's character which are juridical and penalty-bearing, and there are men to whom arevelation of these phases is indispensable; bat there are many to whom such a revelation is not essential. And you cannot treat all men, or men and children, or all children alike in these regards. I think that many children are led by a thread, as it were.by Christ, and that he leads them all fteir life. Then there are many children that have to go through a more serious discipline. They have constitutionally a more discordant nature. Many children have to be seasoned together, so to speak. Their faculties are in juxtaposition rather than' in unity. Harmony in them has to come through an artificial process. You shall see children that aro of ono disposition when they aro young, but that, when they come to be fifteen or sixteen years old, are so totally chang ed that you would not know them. I know of one very docile, traotable, lovable child, that ufDed to be fierce and unlovely, and that instead of believing everything, believed nothing. Now it is completely transformed. I have known children that were excessively disagreeable and very unpromising while they were tinder twelve or fifteen years of age, who after that began to have the moral sontiments developed in them, and seemed to take on elements that gave balanco to their minds, and rendered them mild and sweet in their disposition. Ferhaps you may know somo stfch ! You can hardly do anything with them as childron. But as they grow oldor they come to thoir own relief. NEW YORK, Opposite C. Law & Co.'s Cash Storo, Main St., pARIS MILLINERY AND Men are all sinful; none aro borne other than sinful, and probably none ever will be; but it does not follow on that account that the doctrino of human sinfulness should be the meat and drink of a child's education. "Yet, I cannot doubt that that was the predominant truth which rested on my mind. From the representations which I heard, not only, but from tho carriago of my parents and of other Christians toward me, the fact seemed to me to be about this: No man is worth anything whatever beforo God till he has been converted ; and conversion is a dramatic pause in a man's natural life, by which, through the agency of the Holy Ghost, truth is ministered to him, after which he is victorious over sin, and everything goes right with him. Previous to that it is considered that a man i* a natural man ; that, as my father used to teach, it is not possible for him to do anything to please God. And my childish impression was, that after he was a Christian he could hardly do anything that would not please God. He became then a favorite with God.

In the first place,conversion was keyed so high, it depended upon such high motives, it required such refinement of the intellect and such loftiness of the moral sentiments, that a child was not considered capable of attaining it. It was thought to be a problem too difficult for young minds to grasp. Children were taught that they were sinners, and needed to be converted ; and yet, there was a kind of not knowing on the part of parents what to do. They seemed to think that all they could do was to bring them up as best they could, till they came to the age when they might be converted and become good Christians. And that was just about the way I was dealt with. I had powerful religious impressions, and I was treated as though my state of mind would bo of use some time when I had become older, and it could be worked up, but as though that time hnd not yot printer is the adjutant of thought, and this explains the mystery of the wonderful wcrd that can kindle a hope as no song can; that can warm a heart as no hope can; that word "we" with hand-in-hand warmth in it—-for the author and the printer are engineers to-gether.

I would have given all the world to havo had my mind relieved on certain points that troubled mo, but nobody came to my relief—not even my father or my mother. They talked to me about religion ; but not in the way that I needed to be talked to. My mother would sit down and say to me, "You know that you have by nature a sinful heart, and that unless you are born again you cannot enter the kingdom of God"—and down, down, would go the mercury in me!— "God is angry with the wicked every day." I knew that before, and I had trembled a hundred times in the dark to think how God was angry with me. "All your thoughts and purposes are impure.

The instinct of infantile affection toward tho nourishing parent precedes all other instincts. It develops finally into love. And not only that, but as soon as they come to discriminate moral qualities in persons I think they may be able, in their way, to discern moral quality in God—to love it and to be affected by it.
