And whilo other govern in opta kingdom*, and
empire* come in for thoir place in thia Book of
Uod, tho Jewish Nation atanda out in Iwld relief
and ita kings and princes,ita revolutions and chan-
ges are all described by the historian so as to form
a per feet embodiment of the wholo.
The Jewish government was a Theocracy, Qod
himself ruled l>y the laws which he entrusted to
Moses, and wo are assured that so long as hia peo-
ple adhered to thoso laws they were lupreiuoly
blest and happy, when they forsook him by de-
parting from his revealed and written will, he
brought upon them all those calamities which Mo-
ses foretold would be the couaoquenco of disobedi-
ence.
It ia in vain for the athoiat or unbeliever to make
auy other explanation than tho 8oripturnl ono of
the olrtrtmstanecB and history of this remarkable
people, tltoj- are a standing miracle, showing the
overruling power of an Omnipotent Being who
has never left himself without a wituoss in this
degenerate and fallen world.
It is related of tho late John Randolph of Ya.
whose genius and eccentricities will always render
him renowned—that he said ho should have been
a French Atheist, worshipping tho goddesses Rea-
son snd Liberty, diicardingthn Bible and all idea
of n God—bnt that over his heart nnd memory
would como tho softening recollection of the gen-
tle hand of a, mother, placed upon his fcimd, and
the ondoaring words she caused him to utter of
"Our Father who art in Heaven"—Tho same indi-
'vuluul uIno said iu connection with his mother'*
prayer, that as long as the Jewish nation existed
as a monument of thn truth of tho Holy .Scriptures,
*0 long would ^llioy rontsin the m *t ino .ntr ivor-
tible argument of these luting indeed a people sop-
aratod from all othors by UoJ himt.il£—4.ud said
ho, while in Kuropo and consorting only with «-of-
fers and unbelievers, "I n«ver in it a Jew iu the
streets of London or l'.iris,that his long beard did
not sweep away all my doubts, and compel m i to
believe tho Bible to be true."
With how much wonder then an 1 awe for the
part thoy have bnon made to pjrform, ra\? wo ro-
gard the continued uxiatcnoo Of this jHSUttfl peo-
ple, seeing they havo printed ..for so many thous-
ands of years, ainohg, yet separate and distinut
from all other nations,and -not even having a eoun-
try they can call thoir own—thoy resemble those
streams which are said to flow through lakes.and
other riven, without mixing thoir "pure waters
with the current. While the Jew resides among
all other nations from'the froxen regions of Russia
to tho tropica—whilo the scattered I«!o« of the
Ocean and tho forbidden territory of the Celestial
Umpire allko boar witnoss to his presence And his
onergy—atill ho ia a lming of distinct identify,and
never absorbed in the society or mingling in" the
world around him, so as to ho lost like other na-
tions'hy amalgamation.
We would ask why this i* the case, unless by d.
Providence which wo cannot fathom or explain T
Tho Jewish people havo intellect and talents su-
perior to that of any other class of persons situated
as they have been for ages—They havo been pe r-
«ecu ted by nations calling themselves civilised—
they have been n by-word and reproach as Moees
said they should be—and yet their Ood has never
forsaken them—he has punished their persecutors,
and still multiplied and blessed them-tho' he drove
then? oat opAnir fair and beautiful land, and suf-
fered it to become the prey of tho Ottoman never-
theless I con* der the lot of a converted, or chris-
tianised Jew, an enviable one; for surely do I be-
lieve they Me nearer to Ood than any other chris-
tians—for whilst they in rejectirtg Christ have ed-

Mortar is a most important composition—lit-

put up with' it is an imposition on the builder,
and briok or stones might jail aa well, if not
better, he put np without any. No city would
