The nurse by threats controls our infant gambols; the discipline of the whip is added by our parents, to enforce their conimands; the teachers in their school punishment, continue the flogging system; the magistrates and police officers with their dungeons, chains, and cat o'-ninetails, strike terror into our riper years; while the priest with his theories of hell and the devil, surrounds us with the fear of eternal punishment hereafter; and thus is created and continued through all the stages of life, an aggravated state of fear, apprehension and terror, that only ceases with our lives. This free country, by taking the rod of power from the arbitrary hands of individual caprice, and rendering the decisions on fixed principles of law more certain, has taken off in part the fear of the tyranny of rulers: but the long chain of despotism, from the birth to the death of man, still exists, fortified and supported by the dark doctrines of religious fanaticism; forming an insuperable bar to the happiness of in the iron mould of coercion, deprived of their mankind, that ages of civilization may not be able to remove.

Fear is a sensation so humiliating, irksome, and disagreeable to all the feelings of our species, (as well, probably, as to those of all other animals) that the best disciplined temper cannot prevent attaching hatred to the cause of it. But of all the manifold and destructive effects, that fear has on the human family, none is so injurious to the well-being of society, or so totally subversive of the true interest of mankind, as the fear of the child for the teacher; for in addition to the innumerable bad consequences inseparable from fear, in any stage of life, it closes the mind against receiving instruction, from the only source that is accessible to A council was called at Illyrium, by Valen- children, their entire attention being occupied tinianus, where the truth [or rather absurdity] in watching the symptoms of anger in their teacher, in order that they may be prepared to in the blessed [or nonsensical] TRINITY, was A general council, was summoned at Sardis, confessed.

One of the most mortifying objects to human reason and to common sense, is a poor little urchin writhing under the dread of punishment, repeating by heart a chapter, not one word of which he comprehends, any more than the pedagogue who threatens him with correction. Fear in the many is the foundation of power in the few; the fear of punishment in this, or the next world, supports both church* and state; and this perhaps accounts for the strong and powerful opposition excited against any system of educatian, that, by abolishing the punishment of children, lessens the quantum of fear, and in the same proportion encroaches on the assumed rights in the privileged orders. N. H. Gazette. HINDOO STORY. The Priest and his Disciple.-One day a disciple of Siva wishing to sacrifice to his lingum* left it by the side of a tank, while he went to gather flowers for the offering: a monkey seeing it, snatched it up, and carried it off. The disciple after searching for it in vain, went to his djangoumat with tears in his eyes; "Alas!" cried he, "I have lost my lingum, what shall I do ?" "Wretch," cried tl.e priest, "thou hast lost thy God! then thou hast only to prepare to die. Nothing but thy death can appease the wrath of Siva. The only favor that can be granted thee, is to choose one of three kinds of death-that thou shouldest pull out thy tongue, or be suffocated by the steam of incense, or drown thyself. Choose then, and choose speedily." "Well then," said the disciple, "since I must die, I should prefer drowning myself to the other kinds of death, for then I can advance into the water little by little, and so lose my life as it were unawares. I trust, however, that you will accompany me to the water's edge, and give me your blessing.” The djangouma willingly consented, and followed his disciple to the stream. As the latter went in, the priest loudly exhorted him to be courageous, promising him perfect happiness in paradise. The disciple was now in the water up to his neck, when turning to the priest, he said "My dear master, before I die, grant me one favor: lend me your lingam that I may adore it; after which I shall die contented." The priest consented, and the disciple came to the bank, received the lingam, and re-entered the water. When he had got to a considerable depth, he let fall the lingam as if by accident, and cried out with great epparent emotion, "Ah sir! what a misfortune! your lingam is also lost-it is gone to the bottom. Alas! how sincerely I lament your fate! Yet were it not for my attachment to your person, I should bless this accident as the happy means of obtaining for me the advantages of dying in company with my spiritual guide. Yes, we must die together, as we have both lost our lingams -and I trust I shall follow you to the paradise of Siva." He then approached the priest, and seizing him, protested he would die with him; while the priest, pale and trembling, regarded his wicked disciple for some time without speaking. At last he said, "Well, after all, where is the great harm of losing a little stone image, not worth a farthing.

NEW-YORK, Saturday, June, 2, 1827. All other persons, who wish for Tracts for distribution, at discretion, can have them at the lowest cash prices. On the 28th of Dec. last, the New-York Universalist Book Society, issued the following CIRCULAR. Brethren,-The Universalists, resident in this city, conceiving that great and permanent good would flow from the establishment of a Universalist Book Society, and Circulating Library, did on the first of May, 1826, form a Constitution and Articles of Association, for the government of that Institution. In the location of the Institution it was considered by every one, that this great city, the emporium of the United States, was the most proper and fit place for the exercise of their beneficent views; concentrating, as it were continually, through the medium of the press, the moral and religious discussion of the world. [Here we omit several paragraphs of the original Circular, as not being now absolutely necessary.] With this view, a resolution was past at the last meeting of the Committee of the Universalist Book Society, held at their library room the the 21st of december, 1826, to the following effect;- "Whereas it is of the utmost consequence to the diffusion of true and correct principles of gospel truth, that Tracts should be disseminated as widely as possible, containing the word of life, and at the cheapest rate,"Therefore resolved, in order to effect an end so deWe understand that some of the sub-sirable and interesting to all believers in the sublime doctrine of Universal salvation-that the President, Vicescribers to the Gospel Herald, have not yet sub-President and Secretary be a Committee to draft and scribed for the Olive Branch, under an appre- prepare a Circular Letter to the brethren in every section hension, that the personal disputes, which had of the United Siates, which letter to be signed by the been introduced into that paper, would be con- President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer, and the individual members of the Standing Committee, retinued in the Olive Branch.

With these views, the undersigned would propose, that their friends, in all sections of the United States, should Tracts issue.
