JULY 18, I*•->!> Marriage. TaShbnedth Takixu the Bible for our guide, it appears, from an examination of the second chapter of the book of Genesis, that God promulgated two great laws for the obedience and observance of the human family. The fust law set apart one-seventh part of time as holy. We do not find that God ever has repealed this law by any subsequent enactment, but has, on numerous occasions, re-enacted and confirmed it, and especially on Mt. Sinai, where, amid thundering* and lightnings, He commanded as follows " Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy," etc. So far as the teachings and example of our Savior bore upan the Sabbath, they reconsecrated oneseventh part of time, redeeming it from Pharisaic desecration and pollution. One-seventh part of time we regard as now belonging to God, and to be sacredly devoted to religious purposes. Aside from motives of a religious nature, we are fully of opinion that the laws of all Christian nations should enforce the proper pubiic observance of the day. The good of society, public morals, the interests of the state, domestic happiness, and private virtue, will all be advanced by the strict observance of the day. The argument for legislative enactments regulating the Sabbath, to our own mind, is clear and unquestionable. While there should be no law of California requiring the lawless and infidel portion of the community to attend Calvary Church, or any other church, there should ba | : forbidding fh 'in assembling in Musical Roll, md disturbing a religious assembly and the public peace.

IN)!). iw he has ever forbidden any class of men, even the clergy, from marrying. There is no such prohibition upon the Divine Statute Book, neilher any command, to take more than oie wife. Taking the Bible, and the Bible alone, as our rule of faiib and practice, we cannot but regard all those as guilty of trifling with the Word of God, who endeavor to argue away die observance of the Sabbath, or alter in any way the divine law in regard to marriage. The evil consequences of such trifling, will sooner or later appear whenever attempted. Wherever individuals or communities can be brought to "remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy," and sacredly observe all those laws relating to the marriage institution, as indicated in the second chapter of Genesis, there, private virtue, domestic happiness, social order, public peace, and universal prosperity, will as naturally follow, as any natural effect must follow the cause producing it. in"GotaIbvHeuoimt,God." Nothing is more common than when aid is sought in behalf of some son or daughter of suffering, sickness and sorrow, to be repulsed by the reply, " I have given in so many in- stances, and found my charities unacknowledged or ungratefully received, that lam determined to stop giving." This may be very true. Our sinful nature is wont to show itself in the form of ingratitude to both our Heavenly Father and our kind earthly bene- factors. But shall the stream of benevolence cease to flow on this account? Shall the Christian cease to act the Christian's part, because a fellow-sinner is ungrateful ? Such 49 }.o|b Seri N.

But is the Catholic stand-point the right position for correct observation ? Perhaps we might look with more favor upon the doctrine of the celibacy of the clergy, if the Catholic clergy of other lands had always sustained as good a reputation for morals as that enjoyed by the Catholic priests of the Sandwich Islands. Not wishing however to enter into an extensive discussion of this subject, for ourselves, we are quite willinnto fallow a fair interpretation of the Bible upon this point, fully believing with the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews, that "marriage is honorable in all," not excepting the clergy ; and furthermore, we are quite contant to follow the example of St. Peter, the first Pope, (whose orthodoxy our Catholic aeighbors will not dispute,) who* was unquestionably a married man! • �50 TOE FRIEND, JIILV, [CorreipoDdence or the I'riend.] Catholic Teachings among Hawaiians. — Sir: Our Catholic neighbors of the French Mission ore zealously, if not laudably, engaged in publishing a series of Hawaiian Tracts, which are being sown broadcast over the land. They are controversial essays, embracing almost every subject on which they differ from the Protestants. The one now before us, is the third of a series on the " Acts observed in the Church of the Lord," and is entitled, " The celibacy of priests in the Church of the Lord— me ka Virgine ana." Of the meaning of the latter clausv, Ji is one of the mysteries of thechurch. We propose to translate a few brief extracts, to instruct the English reader into what is taught by Holy Church to the native Hawaiians, as well as for his own edification. We would premise that the idea of celibacy in a priest is one of utter indifference to a protestant mind, and is only to be determined by the party concerned, by his own free choice. But to the extracts : On the bottom of thu first page, p. 17 of the series, we read, "0 men of Hawaii, we nowhere read in the writings of the Apostles, that Peter landed at Aritioch with wife and children ; it was never heard that John had a wife and in his going to dwell at Ephesus ; or that ~*au|, with his wife and children landed at''"'li|etus," etc. Such is not the case with your Calvanc missionaries, j We read in the Hawaiian papers, Mr. liannded at Kauai with wife and children ; Mr. M. B. landed at Maui with wife and children; -dso, Mr. M. L., of , with family, are well.

Where is the like of this among the Apostles ? " —p. 18. " But this is the plain truth. In reading the writings of the Apostles from beginning to end, there is not one word of a missionary having a wife, or leading about with him a family."—p. 18. in the desire of those Calvanistic ionaries to reconcile their position with that of the Apostles, while taking wives, they have falsely perverted the words of Paul, who says, ' Have we not a right to take a female Bister (vahine taituahine) as have the other Apostles, as the brethren of our Lord, and Cenhas?' 1 Cor., 9: 5." These female sisters of the like charachave ever been in the Church of Rome.

From the foregoing extracts, and much Doubtless every man possesses the right to more of the same sort untranslated, we derive exercise his own religious opinions; and to a the following doctrines of the true Apostolic religious mind the motive to observe the SabChurch : bath as a divine law is sufficiently strong . : .. �TIIE without the sanctions of penal statutes. I am no friend to religious intolerance. No man is accountable to his fellows for his religious opinions. He may neglect every mode of religious worship, if he please, and legislators cannot interfere, so long as he disturbs not others in the exercise of their religious acts. I go further, and maintain that the law of the Sabbath enjoins no positive act of religious worship whatever; it simply commands the sanctification of the day by abstaining from labor, except acts of necessity nnd mercy. The law of the Sabbath, as given to Moses, and explained by our Savior in his answer to the Pharisees, is one of a moral code, designtiS to be perpetual; and it is mainly in view of the question as one of a moral nature, that I would argue the validity of the Sabbath law, and the duty of legislatures to give it their sanction. 1. All are assumed to agree that the other nine laws of this moral code remain in their full force in Christian communities, and will so continue to the end of time. No part of the New Testament has annulled, even by implication, the law of the Sabbath, except to transfer it to the first day of the week as a Christian Sabbath. Christ came not to do away the law, but to fulfill it. To do a work of necessity or mercy on that day, was by Him the fulfillment of a duty, although requiring labor. But the injunction to abstain from worldly labor on that day, has never been relaxed by the divine authority. As in the Jewish economy, so under the Christian dispensation, the custom of assembling on the day has been observed in all ages of the church. 2. TAis law is declarative of the Divine wisdom. The bodies of both men and beasts require the recuperative benefit of stated days of cessation from labor. Without this rest, the body soon loses its vigor and elasticity. It has been ascertained that the system can endure more fatigue without injury, and accomplish more labor, in six days, by enjoying the seventh as a period of rest, than can be achieved by the same power through a continuous work of seven days in the week, withoutthe Sabbath. Man, therefore, is no loser in the observance of the command, but the gainer in every view. Those Christian communities who strictly observe What more gladsome light than that of Sabbath morn to the laborer? Where is the gloom that shrouds the quiet of the Sabbath to the man emerging from the crowded cares of the previous six days ? What other protection to the over-worked servant or animal is more humane? How unjust, then, how utterly reckless are the bitter attacks made upon the law of the Sabbath as the work of gloomy fanatics! 4. This law is the great charter of freedom to the oppressed. On*one day in seven the authority of the task-msster over the sinews and muscles of his oppressed servants is relaxed, and they are suffered to go free. Repeal the law, or cease to enforce it, how long will it be before liberty and freedom will be trodden under foot by the heel of despotism ? In the despotisms of the earth the Sabbath is profaned as a day of labor or pleasure. This law is the bulwark of civil and religious liberty. 5. The observance of the Sabbath constitutes the grand di.stinctio?i between a Heathen and a Christian community. As creatures of God, and destined to render up our account to him in the great day, there is a moral sublimity in the idea of a day set apart from worldly cares to worship the Creator of angels and men, and to recognize our relation and duties to the Judge and Savior of all. The heathen woild enjoys no such high privileges; there no Sabbaths call them to rest and worship. This is their misery, but our high distinction as Christians. If for want of this they persist in ignorance, shall we lightly esteem this inestimable gift to men ? Amidst the bustle and cares of life, men are apt to forget the great truth that there is a future world to which they are hastening. We need a season, every week, to remind us of an hereafter. What more appropriate than the Sabbath for this purpose? While we remit our strength for the labors of the ensuing week, our time can be no better employed than to meet our friends and neighbors in the house of worship, and listen to the truths relating to our future existence. Remove the Sabbath, or allow it to be devoted to secular labor or boisterous pleasures, and the only barrier to the return of a semi-barbarism is broken down. We need no further legislation than to ignore a Christian Sabbath, and a return to heathenism (in such a land as this) is rapid and sure, with all its appalling sequents. What the law of God enjoins as a moral duty, is proper for human tribunals to enforce, and that in strict accordance with the law of liberty in religious worship. No disaster to any country can be greater than the consequent evil influences aroused in the commu- this requirement to abstain from Sabbath labor, have always been most favored in wealth and intelligence. 3. The observance of the Sabbath as a day of rest, is in accordance with the highest happiness of man. It is no arbitrary law to enslave the mind under a rigorous despotism, and to deprive men of the freedom of enjoyment. What more welcome boon to nity by annulling the rest of the Sabbath.

Hut on no account let us open the floodgates of iniquity and misery by its B. repeal. Striking Confirmation of Scripture.— One of the most interesting of the monuments of ancient Rome is the triumphal arch, erected to commemorate the conquest of Jerusalem by Titus, who, after the destruction of the temple, made n triumphal inarch to Rome, bringing with him a long train of captive Jews and the spoils, among which were the sacred vessels of the temple. This procession is represented in the beautiful arch, which thus furnishes an illustration of the Bible nowhere else to be found, these being the only representations that exist of the sacred vessels, the table of the shew-bread, the golden candlestick with its seven branches, and the silver trumpets used by the priests to proclaim, the year of Jubilee. The Roman senate and people little thought, when erecting this monument to a deified emperor, that they were erecting a monument to the true God in the verification of prophecy and divine history. Not one of the Jews at Rome—of whom there are about six thousand—will even to this day, pass under the arch of Titus, although it spans one of the thoroughfares of the city ; they shun it as a memorial of a subjugation of their nation, which has never yet been retrieved, and regard it with aversion. Seed Sown at a Venture.—Rev. W. Robinson, a Baptist missionary in India, says : can tell you of a church, the origin of which may be traced to the leaving of a New Testament at a shop in a village. The missionary wished to give away the New Testament, but no one would have it; the Scrip-' tures were not sought after then as they are now ; so he laid it in a shop, and left it there for any one who might come to the shop, and wish for it. The shopkeeper could have torn it up, but he did not. After a time, a few hours I believe, two or three men cartie to this shop and saw the book ; they opened it, read it, and liked it, and took it away with them. The result was, that several persons from that village were eventually baptized— the men who took the Testament, and their wives. I know the men and their wives too; and the church that sprang up from this little incident is as palpable to the senses as any ether church. Come to Calcutta, cross the river to a little village called Homrah, and there you may see, assembled in a very neat little chapel, the very church in question."— Bible Advocate.

Just Austrian troops, amounting to about half a million, arc swarming on the plains of Lombnrdy and the eastern borders of Sardinia. French troops, coming in on the west and south, are joining the Sardinians in immense numbers. Russia on the north, sympathising and in alliance with the latter, is holding its neighboring German Suites in check, and ready, if need be, to baptize Vienna herself, with a Russian name, in Austrian blood. Austria professedly struggles for her rights in Italy and national honor; while her opponents contend for Italian rights and freedom from an intolerable despotism. Of course, all questions of self-aggrandizement are ignored when nation lilts up sword against nation, and when Pat O'Flnherty steps into the riiie; to close the window curtains of Mike O'Brien! At the latest dates, (May 2 and 3,) the first blood had been shed in the repulse of some Austrian troops; and more serious tidings would have been reported, but for the high waters of the Po and its tributaries preventing the immediate crash, and another Waterloo scene. The war, we predict, will be short, and the carnage fearful. Our sympathies and best wishes are for Italy. No government can be worse than the past; and any change will surely be hopeful for the better. Despotism and popery make neither a prosperous nor a happy people. In the whole length of Italy, last saw but a single boy with a book; and even in the famed city of Naples, we were informed that not more than onetenth of the adults can read !

Now, I want to you a faint idea of one of the meetings held see that man—(looking at us again), I want on board of the receiving ship North Carolina, to see him—I want to argue with him. I lying at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which, want to ask him some questions. 1 want to through the kindness of the chaplain, the know if there aint no God, who it was that Rev. Mr. Stewart, I was permitted to attend took care of me for the last forty years I've in company with Geo. H. Stuart and Peter been aboard a ship? I want to argue with Simons, Esqs., of this city. I have nttended that man. I want to know who watched during the last six months many precious, over poor Jack in the hurricane; who stood soul-refreshing meetings in this city, that are by him in the squall—who brought him out "The Abundance of the Sea." the ' among the breakers ? There aint no God! I know there is a God—cause I've seen his power on the_sea, and felt it here in my heart. 1 like to tee that man as says there's no God, and argue with him. 1 know there's a God, because when I found out I was a great sinner, I was afear'd to go to bed least I might die nfore morning, and I felt if I did I would be lost, and I told my wife, who was n Christian woman, and who prayed for me, and she used to tow me to meeting, but I didn't find peace there. Then she towed me to see a minister, but 1 didn't get peace there. I praved —God be merciful to me a sinner; he did have mercy. The scales fell off my eyes —I'm resting on Jesus, now. It isn't what I do—but what Christ has done that's given me peace, and I tell you what shipmates, this old heart's ]iappy now, and I'll be happier when it leaves this old hulk and goes up yonder to be with Jesus for ever—shipmates, there is a God." His appeal to his fellow-sailors was of the most touching character—tears were streaming down that old weather-beaten face—truly a skeptic would have stood a poor chance of convicing that honest old tar—that there was no God. Toward the close of the meeting, Mr. Stuart invited every man of them that had an intelligent hope in Christ, that believed they were born again—to come forward and give us the right hand of Christian fellowship. You should have witnessed that scene. About seventy in number came forward and grasped our bands (and in u manner I felt for some hours after). Brother S. asked them to name their country as they passed along. I come from England said one—a Hibernian exclaimed the second—l'm frae Scotland, said a son of the land o' cakes—l'm from Maine—l'm from South Carolina—l'm from Sweden—from Norway—from Wales—from Germany—and one raid, I'm from Lapland. Brother Simons could stand it no longer, so he started the hymn From Greenland's icy mountains, "From India's coral strands," Aco. That was indeed a union meeting—there were ten or twelve nu;ions represented. The Jack that wanted to see the man as said there was no God, and argue with him, saw him and found in him a brother,and a brother and a traveler bound to the same port. But I had nearly forgotten one that takes a deep interest in this work ; when I entered that meeting—seated by a capstan in the midst of those rough-looking sailors, was one that had been reared in the lap of luxury— whose position gives her an entrance into the highest society—a lady, the wife of ihe commander—sat there, and by her presence and influence, has been the means of doing much — good. Inebriate Assylum.—We are to have, by Legislative aid, an Inebriate Assylum in our state—at Binghamton—and, by a sort of poetical justice, one-tenth of the money paid by liquor-dealers for licenses is to be appropriated to its construction and maintenance.
