He was knowu to have been a cloth merchant formerly, but now be ing near sixty years of age, had seemed to desire rest. Probably he was in good oireumstanoes, and he may have been opulent, but neither he nor his family made any show of wealth. All the arrange ments of his house and estate were unostentatious and in good taste. The furniture was a s : . ’ ’ j i r ' \ i r \ r s s \ i . . daughter, dressed themselves neatly but so .simply, that the maid servants in general wore more expen sive habiliments. Vet every one acknowledged that the ladies of Bethany were always choice in their of the city. \T^4c.rw-.^i-„ either in white or r w c u i h o y ncri Mr. .''elbcr, in like manner, usually wore a coat of ash grey of the finest cloth, wUh never a speck of dust upon it; all bis clothes were clean and tidy from biad to font. Ashe had looked seven years ago, juft so he looked now, unehnngfd in any particular. ( lie and bis clnlhes seemed pever to grow older.— ' i’enplo indeed suspcoicd h.m of being a spirit ‘b\ Tne .strict order and economy visible in their dress, extended itself to overything else at Hothany. Mar tha and ,\lar>' took charge of the greater Jjarl of the housekeopiiig. They kept only one old man-servant: for a maid would nover romam long with them. I'he reason why, was never distinctly understood ; but the maids always seemed glad when they were nuit of Bethany. None complained of poor wages, lor tho Selber’s wore liberal; nor of bad treatment, for tho 15elber's were kind, some said they were loving ;—nor of bad fare, lor they kept a good table ; and Jet to all this class, service in Bethany was intolerable. They whispered that, Mr. Selhor wasa strange old fellow, who did not know what he wanted half tho lime ; that Mrs. Martha was blind of both eyes, besides being an everiasting devotee ; and that Mary was a good Uttle goose but vo^ peculiar ' Though liulo confidence is to be placed in the babble of servants, the eonourront testimony of so many, was not to bo disregarded; and it did not speak well for tho family at Bethany, that their maid.i changedsorvico at the end of each half year.* They strenuously maintained an appearance of sanctity in their external deportment, and on no occasioD did they participate in even the most inno cent amusement.s of the children of this world. They were sccyi at no concerts, but it was asserted that ■Mary played the pian.t well, and had an agreeable voice ( h>ly during PassioD Week, when the Orato rio was a “ VessiiSi\ or tho ‘•Death of Jesus\ the lather and daughter would join tho crowd.

[ .A Story prepared expressly for the Evening Post ] Ptreue OPINION. Mr. Daidel Selber and hia family had lived for seven yeara in a provincial metropoFis. (I dare not be more explicit.) They were Moravians, as every one knew. Ho troubled himself little about the town; but for that very reason, the town troubled it self the moro ab*jut h'm. How could it be otherwise when he differed so much from all the other inhabi tants in opinions, manners and habits t Tho town was not so large but that all who I’ved in it might know each other, were they so disposed, though it poiaesscd a large garrison, numerous nobility, and besides these had concerts, balls, a theatre, casinos, free-mason lodges, and all the other appurtenances of a large town. Well then; ■ for seven yi pleasantly_______, ----- -------- ---- ------- ------ „--- -------- of tho adjoining meadows, it rCsombled a small estate. He usually called it “ His Bethany,” and as his selection of the name was rumored about why it was, but every one gradually ■ - -* ----- -’ --.Died by witty was ayaracious, telfish and unoharitablc Behind his affbcied buiD'iity there lurked a religious jiridc toward worldly people ; there was a sweet benignity without, but within a morose, unsymoathixing heart. In loot, no one in the town bad any mtorcourse with thc.ie people ; yet they did not shun mankind. They were often seen on the promenades or wherever busi ness called them, and without being deficient in t»oliteoes8, they yet made every one feel that they desired to avoid a nearer aoiiaaintanco. Now and then strangers resided with them, but it was under stood that they were “ Brothers in the Lord’’ or Very sincere compassion was felt for Maty, who having been bred up a thorough Moravian, was of course entirely lost to the world, tvho was a veiy pretty,— yes,— what mado the matter worse,—she was a handsome girl in the eyes of many,—in fe-t she was (if you won’t let It be known) the prelti girl in the whole town ; some thought of tho whi world. There was something untpcakably fasoii ling in her simple stylo of dross, in tho modest grace Ilf her movemimU and in her artless behaviour Gould they have believed, for a moment, that Mr- .--clbcr wac Do^ a hviKjcritc but serious i*i his Moravian- i.-mablh s dies.re to better this sinful world, —aU tho citixons—ill least the male portion—^would in a lew weeks have changed to \Brothers in the Lord\ and •• Im c children ol the Saviour’’ in spite of the ,;oal of the orthodox morning, and the moral philo- si.t bioai afternoon, pieaoliCT.

Itis true, those qniet, shady paths, the pleasing order, this neatness and graceful simplicity of all things in Bethany, seemed home-like to h'm. Before this he had seen nothing in it but one pf the Moravian’s peeuliar affectations, or the merest outward show, which might be called the ostentation of humility and simplicity ; or at best an attempt to represent his inward purity by out- ig of a spirit that sought to diffuse its oay over all its environments of oironm- Btanco and locality.

Corporal chastisement debases and degrades the intellect, lessena the love and respect whion children should have for their instrnotors, and dampens their energies in the prosecution of their studies. It creates in the minds of children a belief that force and punishment are necessary to make them kind, diligent, obedient, and just. They hold to this belief in after i'fa, and corporal punishment becomes tho law by which they enforce obedience from their owh children. We affirm it to be a general rule, that in those families where we find the most obedient children, tho rod is seldom if over used. The minds of the chUdren are appealed to. They are taught to believe that there is a happiness in doing right, and a mental punishment tha.. cannot be avoidedwhen the wrong is persisted’m. Chastisement, or the application of physical force, in nine oases out Of every ten, is inflioted when the anger of the teacher or paroDt is aroasod. Very generally the flogged ehild affirms that ven- f^eanoe tvi U b© his at some fatur© day. H© carries the idea of physical superiority to tho play-ground, and manifests it by the exercise of his power in flog ging come of hn junior or leas athlecio playmates It is thus that he acquires a disposition to display h'a physical aupeilority, and loses the moral power re- flu.ltip\’ '—- —-3---------- Interest or ^lo.ooo, at 8 per c e n t..

The various modes of punishment ers for the school room, prevent a proper rt person or authority of the teacher, an sarily retard the advancement of pupils. It is an axiomatic truth, that in the whole circle of the Virtues of the human heart, or the adornments of tbo human mind, not one oan be developed by de grading chastisement. Humanity and love, r* \ and persuasion, will, when exercised, triumph tho VICIOUS propensities of man’s nature far mo feotnally than any form of corporal chastisement. The experience of those whose chief study has been the human mind, and who are distinguished for humanity as well as knowledge, tends to oonffrm tho truth, (that in the proportion) that humanity has triumphed over the weakness and errors of the mind or heart, the victory has resulted .foom the exercii mildness, gentleness, love and moral power. The experience deri ved from some of the sohoo.„ oar city, is in conformity with the views we have ex- presseo. We have some schools in which corporal obastisement is abolished in every department.

He is, however, manifestly under some extraordinary magnetic inffnenoe, for be has cured, by tha effect of his touch alone, many hundreds <if persons who have been to visit him. He receives ali! strangers who seek him with the greatest simplicity, disclaims any credit for the wondrous miracles he performed, merely repeating the assur ance of his appointment by our Saviour, who ap peared to him in a dream, to go forth to tho world to testFy to the truth of the Gospel. He is of short stature, and of full, expressive countenance. His hair, parted on the forehead, descends on either side of fais temples. There would bo nothing remarkable about tho person of the man, were it not for tho cir- oumstanee which has given rise to the wUful lie, or the unhappy delnsien, whichever it may be, that be thus openly advances, were it not for the extraordinary sligmalcs on his hands and feet, and the deep cica trice in bis Bide, whence daring the whole of jrassion Weck, have issued large drops of blood! Many pco- j.le -worthy of belief have told me that there ia no delusion about this. The hands and feet are pierce-' through and through, and the wound in the side i about two inches long, and very deep; that the; have seen the blood ooze from those wounds slow! and drop by drop for hours together during the pai week, and that during all this time Perimond remaii exhausted on his bed, lying as it were in la trance, without food or nourishment, and to all appearance dead.
