The folloiving lines in z'.1n.t'.tatz'on qf llloorc, were 2v1:z'ttc:z by a lady whose husband Izod gone to sea for the bcmfit qf his health. ‘When first I saw thy winning smile, There shone such truth around thee, 1! thought thy bosom void of guile, ’ Inst as I've ever found thee. 1 saw thee oft with care opprest, To me thy thoughts would wander ; saw the struggles of thy breast, .. And lov’d thee still the fender. And when thy tongue thy passion nam’d, "l‘was bliss to hear the story ; And tho’ I knew my fondness blam’d, , To love thee was my glory. ? A 1 still was true, when various cares- United to distress thee, And found, that in this ‘ vale of tears, I still had power to bless thee. But, ah l how little did I know, V That I so soon must woken, To such a sense of real W1), Almost by hope forsaken. 3 Tho’ now our I-Ialc_vo‘n days are flo.vyp, Tho, grief has sorely tried us,‘ . This heart still claims thee for its ' Tho’ ocean’s waves divide us. No tender friend ‘to cheer th "tllltile she, who used, to soothe , No more can hover -near thee,’ Tet still, though countless ills are-- I never would surrender, ' he bliss, my love, of being thine, For wealth and all its splendor. And days may come, thou dear one, yet, \Vhen we no more shall sever; I cannot, ’mi<lst each keen regret, Believe we part forever. ‘We lot-’d when health and peace were thine, Mistortunes but endear thee ; I’-ti freely half my life resign, g It '\O\v~~ »- I GIUKIIICC an amazing length, says Mr. James Harvey, did the Almighty stretch his line when he formed the Uni\'ers<: ; how amazingly exten- sive are the dominions of God ; we fiiid that our understandings are confounded with the great- ness of the subject ; to what length did his mercy extend when he laid, the plan of the redemption ofa lost world, and shallwe who areof yesterday and know nothing, coinparatively, presume to limit his church and people to those only who be- long to our own religious sect or party? Can we suppose that we have real love to our neighbor, while we exclude him from any participation with us in the benefits of redemption 2 ()ur self- love and pride induces us to believe ourselves to be wiser and -better than others ; we lodge in our- selves a sort of infallibility, and can scarcely be persuaded that we are liable to make a mistake in that which concerns religion. ll‘:-out an un- charitable tcmpcr have arisen those dreadful per- secutions that have been in the world. The histo- ry ofthe church is the histoiy ofthe miseries that mankind have brought on each other, because they did not conform to human lnV(:ml0l)S- The massacre at Paris, and the rebellion in Ireland, show us to what a degree of madness poor ignor- ant people have been led by those called their spiritual guides : they have committed crimes abhorrent to nature, while living under the dis- iuensation-iijif grace, verily thinking they were do- mg God service. Although the Heathen mythology abounds with absurdities, and the ideas they entertained of their deities were various, yet there have been no civ- il ‘wars or courts of inqulsitlon among them on They, according to their poets, -monwealt-his, but commonwealths never did the same‘ or their gods. How inexcusable then must christiansbe, for never was there a religion instituted by God, or invented by man, wherein meekness, charity, and compassion are so pre- In England, the form of church government is established by law ;' but they are broken into so many sects and parties that, according’ to their own writers, they hear an implacable enmity to each other; the spirit of christianity is almost lost among them; vice and profaneness reign tri- umphant, and if the character of nominal chris- tions is that of the unbelieving gentiles, hateful and hating one another, are we better than they ?' But there are, however, many honest minds, that are prejudi_ced~. against others, out of their zeal for religon, when, if they knew them as they re- ally are, they would esteem and love them. nomination, if they would abide by the plain, ra- tional and benevolent precepts of christianity, re- jecting all the conceits of superstition, which de- form its beauty and corrupt its intrinsic purity.
