" He at first caused himself to be announced to the Jewish people as the God of their fathers , in order to make them for the present acquainted and familiar with the notion of a God belonging to them alone . " " By the miracles , by means of which he led them out of Egypt and
established them in Canaan , he shewed himself at once to be mightier than any other god . " tc And in proceeding to shew himself as the mightiest of all , ( but only one can be mightiest , ) he accustomed them , by degrees , to the notion of the one God . "
" But to what purpose , it may be asked , was this education of so rude a people , with whom God might thus begin at the very beginning ? I answer , that he educated in them the future preceptors of the human race ; and it was only men springing from a nation so brought up who could become y-y
SO . " But of what moral education was a people susceptible who were yet so rude , so incapable of abstract thinking , and so entirely in their infancy ?—They could have none but what resembled the age of childhood ; that is , an education of rewards and punishments , which weTe objects of sense and immediate . "
" It might well happen that the records of the Mosaic institutions did not contain the doctrine of future retribution ; but they ought on no account to contain any thing which could retard the people for whom they were written , on their way to this great truth .

( Translated from the French of Mons . A . Pe Lamartiue . ) Born with the spring , with the roses to die , On the wing of the zephyr to float through the sky , To descend on a floweret just closing to sight ,
To be drunk with sweet perfume , with azure and light , To shake off the dust from his young tender wing , With a breath to the high vault of heaven to spring : — This fate , so bewitching , the butterfly knows ; Thus the deathless desires of the soul ne ' er repose , Nor satisfied ever with roaming abroad , Must find their true rapture remounting to God . Clonsheaghy Dublin . M , B .
