miscellaneous Extracts.

RIOVEMENTS AMONG 'rnr. Jews—Never has a move- ment taken place amongst them of the same character as that which has been exhibited within the last few years—not even in the time of Ezra. That is a strong expression, but I use it advisedly. There have arisen sixteen Jewish periodicals on difl'erent parts of the Con- tinent, ably written, and in which the cause of Judaism

. is well advocated: They are continually stirring up one

t

another upon the topic of reform in religion; the neces- sity of striking off many of the traditional incumbrances that have clogged and shackled them. One author ob- serves—J‘ We do not wish to have splendid worship in our synagogues—true religion needs no outward deco- rations.” “ Christians (he says), require decorations to cover the nakedness of their system”—he lives in a Ro- man Catholic country—1‘ but we stand forth in the name of our God with our true and holy religion, given by him- self.” (Hear, hear.) Another fact of importance is, that a circular has been issued concerning the transla- tion of the Talmud, in which the writer speaks in the strongest terms of the necessity of making the Talmud intelligible to all Israel. “ Hitherto,” he says, “we have been obliged to look to the teaching of the Rabbis; but in these days, when intelligence is making progress, we ought to have the Talmud translated into our own laii~ guage.” He is a French Jew. It consists ofrlfi volumes, and they propose to translate it for about 4!. English. (Cheers) This is f importance, because the Talmud has been regarded as a sacred book, that could only be read by learned men, which the unlearned regard as han- ded doivn to them from Heaven. But w en a man shall reflithe many fables combined with the any wise state- ments in this book, he will soon lose all idea of its mys- terious sacredness, and he will be obliged to come to the conclusion that the revealed will of God is contained onlyin the Scriptures—that they alone constitute his rule and guide for eternity. A new translation ofthe Bible has been proposed, and begun to be executed by the Jews in England, France, and Germany. (Hear, hear.) They say that the reading and study of the Bible has been confined to those learned in the Hebrew tongue— that they could not read their own Scriptures, and con- sequently, when the Christians came into contact With Jews, being better versed in the old Testament than they were, they could easily assail them, and make converts of them. They propose, therefore, to bring out a new translation, with emeiidations. It is impossible, how- ever, that they can alter the 53d of Isaiah, and the 110th Psalm, that speak so plainly with yegard to the work, the sufferings, and the ascension of Christ. They may en— deavour to twist them, but they cannot change them. They are also disposed to establish schools—(hear, hear) —in which the children are to be well inslructed in their own religion. Let them be taught in Moses, the Pro- phets, and the lms, for we believe it will be just pre- paring the soil that shall be sown and watered by the Spirit of the Most High God. This movement calls for particular attention on the part ofthe Church of God. The eyes ofJews, in different parts ofthe world, are no- cessarily fixed ‘on the Christians before them, and, in their periodicals, they continually point to Christianity, as -exhibited to them, as an evil that must be removed. One man goes so far as to say that Christianity has done a great deal for the civilization and reformation ofthe world, but that it has had its day—that its time is draw- ing to a close, and Reformed Judaism must be brotfiht forward to teach those Christians what true and spiritual religion is. (Hear, hear.) As the Apostle Paul said that his “ heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel was, that they might be saved ,” so I feel the same desire for my kinsmen according to the flesh. My prayer to God for you Gentiles is, that you may be filled with all the fuliiess ofGod; and when that takes place, and you show forth the spirit ofChrist to all around you, the Jews will undoubtedly share in your affections and your prayers; and your prayers for the Jews will, in some measure, correspond with that earnestness evinced by the Apostle Paul, when he prayed for the Ephesian Gentiles. pouring out his soul to God on their behalf.—Rev R. Ilerschell.

How To MAKE A HAPPY Horne—It is not in the im- posing majesty of a sumptous mansions nor the hollow glare of gautifurniture, nor the obsequious attention of servants, no en ofchildreu, that makes a home of home, and keeps alive the sacred blessedness of tnarried life. No, but it is the steady exercise of those holy cha- rities,‘that soothe sorrows and smooth the asperiries of n' Those little evidences ofsincere esteem, those spo‘n ‘aneous expressions of affection and tenderness, those unpremeditated smiles an are at each other’s joy or sorrow, that affectionate ofiiciousness which volun- teers more readliy as service becomes difficult—these are the things that give to home its purest and most powerful attractions; where these abound, the mind re- poses in all the confidence of conscious safety, and in the satisfaction of ample eujoyment-—Mutual respect and attention between man and wife are essential to ren- der them respected in the eyes of their domestics and children ; and also to maintain that healthy flow of soul, that cheerfulness and buoyancy of spirit so necessary

, in bearing the ills and performing the duties oflife. As

kindness and respectful treatment are due to all persons, so they are especially due to ourselves as wife and lins- band—for we cannot love those whom we do not respect, nor can they love us in return. Let it tbn be a princi~ ple of established authority, like the laws of thc Medes

, and Persians,that change not, to give each that affection-

ate attention which is mutually due between equals. Let every thing be studiously avoided that goes to les- sen either party in their own estimation or in that of other persons ; andlet‘it never be forgotten, that even a smile or frown may gild with brightness or overcast with clouds, that most sacred spot on earth which you call Home.

' Tin: Rev. DR. WOer’s Missmn 'ro BoanaA.—We have the gratification of announcing that intelligence has reached its by way ofTrebizond and Malta, of the safe arri- val of this intrepid traveller at Meshed, from which place be

417‘“ to have taken his departure on the 21st ofMarch, under

the escort to be furnished him by the Governor. The most perilous part of the journey, extending over a space of'300 miles, was yet before him ; but he appeared fully confident that, under divine Providence, he should succeed in accom- plishing the same. No fresh intelligence had been collected

touching the objects of his search, whose fate continued still a matter of mystery. The contradictions in the accounts d rather to the hope that they will be found alive, though hops the captives of the despotic and tyrannical Ameer.

The ost, Reverend Dr. M‘Hale, Roman Catholic Arch- ishop o Tuam, is publishing a version of Homer’s Iliad, anslated into Irish verse. _ The Pope has addressed a letter to the R0 an Catholic chbishops and Bishops, calling their atten to the ef- orts which are being made by various Bible Societies, and rticularly by the Christian Society of New York, to pro- uce r ,' ious dissent in Italy. ‘ ;
