The colored man says :— “ We have taken the vices with the virtues of the stronger race, and they are fatal tous.’"} “1 don't clearly understand you,’’ rejoined | the white speaker! | «« Well sir.’ continued the negro, “it is generally believed that the black race is a hardy race.

The infidel system of education is maxing! the peoy le t New England worse than pagans In one of the most aristocratic churches in New York, lectures om anatomy are given on Sunday evenings instead of the exposition of the word of God. There is something frizht-/ fu'!, horrib'e in this. Yet thia is not the worst} phase of the case. The youth of Massachusetts openly mdicule the Sacred Scriptures ! They treat with contempt and disdain the word of God!! The Boston /raveiler, a Protestant | journal, says :— i “A correspondent of the New York Herald writes from Worcester, (hat a few weeks age the great Hali of that city was filled, on a Sunday evening, with an audievce of wore than 2000 persons, that loudly applauded au tfidel’s ridicule of the Sacred Seripturea We doubtif there ae large town er city in Masaachueetts where a sim ilar audience in kind, wight cet de gathered, un-| der favering circumatanees [f ie sad tu believe it—tbat infidelity in some form prevaile through- out Massachusctts; but we cannot doubt that it is even so ; generally covert with an outward pro feesion of Chriet-anity, bul nevertheless real, ac- eotopanied by a dieregard and disbelief! of the, Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments.” | These are the matura! results of the Ameri-| can infidel system of educaiion. Infidelity begets infidelity, and if our godiese system exists for a few years longer, we must not be surprised to find in our midst young brats of boys who w!! openly a d defiently ridicule the Sacred Scripture, as stripplinzs do in the Unu-} ited States. If we desire our children to be virtuous, it is full time for us to look to their! education. The iutid.| or godiess system has produced its effects in the United Siates; it} will be certain to do the same here in due time. — _ THE OPENING OF THE LEGISLATURE.
