By Mrs. Hemans.
Creature of air and light !
Emblem of that which may not fbde or die,
VVilt than not speed thy flight
To chase'the south-wind through the sunny sky 7
What litres thee thus to stay l
With Silence and Decay,
Fixed on the wreck of dull Mortality.
The thoughts once chambered there,
Have athered up their treasures, and are gone!
ill the dust tell us where
They that have burst the prison-house are flown 7
Rise, nursling of the Day‘;
If thou wouldst trace theijiway !—
Earth has no voice to make the secret known.
Why seeks the vanished bird.
By the forsaken nest and broken shell 1
Far thence, he sings unheard,
' Yet free and joyous ’midst the woods to dwell.
Thou of the sunshine born,
Take the bright wings of morn !— .
Thy hope calls heavenward from you ruined cell.

THE MISSIONARIES.
BY JUDGE HALL.
On a fine morning in May, 18-, two of
thbse large boats in which families emigrat-
ing to the west, descend our rivers, were
seen slowly floating down the Ohio. Built
with rouglt heavy timber, and intended to
move only with the current,tbose uttwieldy
vessels, lay silent and motionless on the
wave that bore them gently towards their
destination. At a small village—or rather
at aspot intended-to be occupied as such-—
the boats were brought to the shore and
moored, and the passengers began to min-
gle with the people, wliotn curisoity had
drawn to the landing place. It was a mis-
sionary family, proceedinglo its station a-
mong the Osage Indians, that halted thus
in the wilderness, to receive a foretastc of
the scenes that awaited them in the distant
forest. _
The place at which they had stopped,
was a level plain, of rich alluvion, from
which the timber had been cleared for the
space of a mile along the river, and nearly
that depth into the forest. As cluster of
cabins, recently built, of rough logs, to-
which the bark still adhered, presented to
the eyes of ottr travellers, a specimen of
human existence, more nearly approaclt-
ing the rudeness ofssvage life, than any
thing they had yet seen. There was no-
thing here to recall to memory their. own
lovely botnes—the beautiful villages of N.
England. There was no green spot, sha-
ded with venerable trees, hallowed to the
repose of the dead—ito church, pointing
its spire to heaven, and offering a holy ref-
uge tothe living. Here were no rural em-
bellishments, indicatingtasle, and neatness,
and enjoyment-—no domestic trees, no
honey-suckle bowers, nor any oftltose or-
naments which beautify the village, and -
give to the humblest cotta - . - ' A
ganc. ...r of e e-
n__._
L
ows, there were none, nor any dwelling
that seemed to ltave been endeared to a
human being by the natne of house. The
ground, newly ‘cleared,was thickly set with
stumps, and covered with a rank growth of
weeds. The frail and unsightly cabins,
standing apart from each other, and desti-_
tute of out houses and enclosures, seemed
to be, as they really were, the temporary
residence of an unsettled people. But
clteerless asthis spot appeared to those who
had been accustomed to all the comforts,
and many ofthe ltixuries of life, it was
such as all new towns in the west had once
been ; such, perhaps, as the hamlets were
on the shores of the Atlantic, where the
voices of the Pilgrims first ascended in
prayer to Him u_ ho had brought them in
_safety out of the land of persecution.
And yet the scene was not destitute of
attraction. Art had done little to spoil,and
nothing to embellish it, but nature had been
prodigal of her bounties. As the travellers
stood on the bank they beheld the “ beau-
tiful river” for miles above and below them,
rolling gently along, with a a surface as
smooth as polished crystal. The shores
were lightly curved,swelling out on the
one side and receding upon the ...otlt¢r, so
as to exhibit a series of long and graceful
bends. The banks, so far as the eye could
teach, were low‘, and subject to inundation
by the spring floods; but the vegetation
which formed their chief beauty, was rich
beyond description. Springing front the
deep allutioit soil, the forest trees reared
‘their immense trunks to an amazing
height, while their interwoven branches
and foliage formed a'h impenetrable shade.
But ifthe eye was charmed, there was a
loveliness, a stillness, and a silence reign-
ing throughout this scene, thartouclnid the
heart. The very beauties that delighted,
-and the quietness ‘that, soothed, lestified
that man was astranger here, and told the
traveller that he was with his -God.
Such were the feelings of the Missiona-
ries as they gazed on this gentle stream
and its wild shore. They had left their
homes and their friends, their pious com-
panions, their cherished relatives, and the
scenes of their childhood, and they were
going beyond the confines ofcivil society,
to dwell with the savage in his own wild
._.woods. As they had travelled to the west,
~.t.hey had seen the traces of civilization ‘be-
coming every day more faint—every day
they had found the villages mder and more
distant from each other—-until at last they
had reached the abodes of the huntei',where
the ride and the axe furnished the means
of subsistence and defence. An immense
,tract of wilderness was yet to be traversed,
before they could reach the scene of their
future labors, and they felt and to think
.how seldom the smile of a countryman, or
the voice of abrother, would cheer them
on their way. Their spirits sunk, as they
looked at tltefiboundless extent of forest_
_ but a blooming desert, containing nothing
,._......-ns, and orc,hg'tr_ds,'a_nd mead: l.,,,,
\.
to warm the heart or cherish the; afi'éctiops..
Every object around them was strange,antl_
they felt like exiles wandering" far-‘ from
th and oftheir birth. ~ '
flhesc were trials, however, that had
een anticipated; aitd it was easy to see in
the inournful countenances of these hum-
ble cltristians, as they wandered along the
shore, that a heavier visitation was petid-
ing over them, tltan those which ‘were ne-
cessarily incident to their situation. ‘One
of their cotnpanions, a beloved sister, was
about to breathe her last sigh. The mes-
senger ofdeatlt bad attested her iii the wil-
derness; giving a solemn warning to those
who journeyed with her, that altho’ they
had forsaken the haunts of men, they had
not escaped the casualties ofliuman exist-
ence. Even here, where nature bloomed
so fresh, where every surrounding object
tcettiedfwitli fragrance, the messenger of
fate could reach its victim. Bound on a
mission of love, and bezttiiig the tidings of
life to thousands, yet the-v also bore with
them the evidence oftheir own mortality.
Death was silently pursuing their footsteps,
watching his own appointed time, to claim
the tribute which all must pay to the insa-
tiable king of terrors.
The situation of the dying missionary
was soon known to tltehvillagers, and a few
of them went. l0,0fft'l‘ in their own homely
way, the offices of hospitality; but they
came too late ; the sttffei‘er was too feeble
to be rcnioved, and"tlte' mourning stran-
gcrssaid that they needed nothing frotn
liuntati kindness but a grave for their coin-
panion. The visitets were deeply affect-
ed. The death-bod exhibits at all times a
soletitn, and a touching scene, and thotigli
ofdaily occurrence, its frt-quency does not
destroy its interest. There are few who
reason coldly in the chamber ofdissolution ;
& the imagination is easily excited by any
incidental circumstances which bring an
additional pang to the parting ofthe living
and the dyiug.. The present scene was
one ofno ordinary interest. The sufferer
was ayoung and delicate female. A hus-
band watched over her pallet, attd two
lovely children,u.1conscious oftlte loss they
were aboutt to sustain, were with difficul-
ty withheld from her embrace. The sev-
ering ofhearts wedded in love—tlie part-
ing ofa mother front licr infattt cltildren—-
are events which the most callotis cannot
view without etnotioti; but onordtnary oc-
casions there is a melancholy pleasure in
the reflection, that the survivorslwill of-
ten visit the grave ofthe decea.~ed,to drop
an unseen tear of affection. Even this
mournftil consolation was now wanting;
and those who sorrowed, felt that when the
soul oftheir friend should have departed,
they must abandon her earthly remains_.rc-
taining no relic oflter whom they had dear-
ly loved. Her tomb would be on the wild

The solemn moment had arrived when
no affected to doubt the truth which-was
too evident, or sought to detain the spirit
in its earthly‘“abode. That spirit had be-

ing among iuen, as if unwilling to sever
I
too rudely the cords ofali'ection,tvith which
she had been united to human beings.-
She spoke little ; but lter words shewed
that her thoughts partook ofthe change she
was about to undergo. Her affection alter-
nateiy lingered on the earth, arid soared to-
wards a better existence. The bosom of
the saint swelled with a liolyjoy-but the
heart of the wife andmother clung to the
dearly cherished objects of its purest and
strongest earthly passion.
The ntission family embraced a number
of_persous of both sexes, attd it was grati-
fying to see in their department, ltow effi-
cteitt is religion in the hour of ‘sorrow.-
Though deeply afllicted,there was a decent
composure, a quiet humility, and an entire
resignation in all tlteir words and actions.
They spoke‘ not of death as-the loathsome
companion of disease, or the precursor of
corruption,but as the natural consummation
‘of all earthly being. They sorrowed not
for her who was going to a better world,-
but for those uho remained. Their voices
were firm and cbeerful—and even the tint-
id soul that was fluttering in hope and fear,
andjoy and sorrow, of the dying moment,
acquited calmness front the serenitv of
otlters.~.._ - '
Such was the day. Evening came, and
the sufferer still lived. Prayer and hymn
were heard at intervals throughout the
night, but all else was silent; and at a
late hour, they who cast a‘ last look at the
sl__i_ore, beheld a_ dim light still emtnating
from the chamber of death, and appearing
as a_ bright spec in the surrouttding glooitt
—like the lingering soul whose feeble ra-
diance still gleamed in the dark "valley of
the sltadow of death.”
The following day was thesabbath. At
tne dawn the villagers hastened to the boats.
The missiorarieswere already engaged at
their morning devotions. ' The voice of
prayer was lteard ascending through the
stillness of -that quiet hour. The accents
were low attd trembling, but distinctly au-
dible. Tlic speaker alludedto her whose
spirit had gone to the niansions ofthe bles-
sed, and prayed for the bereaved husband
_and the orphan children, and the, villagers
-then knew that she in whose fate they had
‘felt so deeply interested, suffered no lon-
ger. After a moment’s pause the notes of
sacred song were heard floating over the
tide-80 sweet, so tiiournful, that every
heart was touclted, & every eye moistened.
At sun set the same day, the remains of
the_ stranger were borne to the place of
burial, by ltor late companions, followed

and in return, furnishes the ntost import-
aitt facilities to the liumblest branches of
manual labor. Let us take as a single
insta_nce, that of astronomical science. ' It
may be safely said, that the wonderful dis‘-
coveiies of modern astronomy and the phi-
losophical’ system depending upon‘-tliem,
could not have existed, but for the tele-
scope. The want of the telescope lzepr
astronomical science inits infancyaniong
the ancients. Althougli Pythagoras, one
of the ‘earliest Greek .plti|osoplteis', by a
fortunate exercise of sagacity, conceived
the elements of the Copernican system,
yet we find no general aitd practical im-
provement resulting from it.. -It was only
from the period of the discoveries, made
by the telescope, that the science advan-
ced, with sure and rapid -progress. Now
the astronomer doesnot mako’« telescopes.
I presume it would be impossible for‘- a
person, who employed: in theabstra,-ct stud y
ofastronotttical science time enough -to cont-
preliend its profound investigations,‘ to
learn and practicet he trade of-makiitgglass.
It is mentioned, as a remarkable versatili-
ty of talent in one or two eminent 0l.‘§;él'-
vers, that they havesoperintemled the cut.
ting and polishing of the glasses of their
own telescopes. But. I presume it" tlfeie
never ltad been a telescope, till someVsci-
entific astronomer had learned to mix, melt,-
andmould glass, suclra thing would never
ltave been heai'd-of.s_fIt is not less true,
that those employed - itrfinakittg the glass
could not, in the ttature of things; be-ex-
pected to acqtiire tliescientific knowletlge,
requisite for carrying on those tardupus
calculations, applied» to bring into ttisystiiitt,
the discoyeries made by the ntagnifying
power of the telescope. I niig|it,extentl

tronomical ock, and it would be easy to
count tip half a dozen trades, which di-
rcctly or indirectly are connected in tita-
king aclock. But let us go back to the
object glass ofthe telescope. A glass fac-
tory requires a_ building andftiritaccs. The
man who in'akes the gl=.tss,does not make the
building. But the stone & brick mason, the
ciirpenteidzthe blacksmith must furnish the
-greatest part of tlielabor do skill, required
to cotistruct the building. When it is built,
a large quatiti y offuel, wood and wood-
coal, or niiticral coal of various kinds, or
all togotlter must be provided; and then
the 'm:itct'ials of which the glass is made
and with which it is coloured, some of
wlticlt are furnislted by coninteice frottt
diffs.-.ent and distant regions, and must be
l)l0u_:_1l‘li in ships across the sea. \Ve can-
not lako up any one of-tliese trades, willi-
out iinntediatcly finding that it connects
itselfwitlt nuiitc.-runs others. Take for in-
staiice, the ntasott who builds the furnace.
He does not ntiikt: his own brtcks,'not
btirn his own littte; in contnton cases, the
bricks come front one place, the linto front
another, the sand front another. The
biick-maker does not cut down his own
wood. It is carted or brought itt boats to
ltisyard. The man who carts it does not
ntake ltis own waggon ; nor does the per-
son who brings it in boats, build his own
boat.— The man, who makes the wagon,
does not make its tire. Tltc blttcksinitlt,
who makes the tire,does not smt.-lt the ore ;
and the furgcntan who stttells the ore, does
not build ltis owit furnace, (and there we
got back to the point whence we started.)
nor dig his own mine. The man who digs
the mine does not make the pickaxe _with
wlticli lie digs it; nor the pump with which
liekeeps out the water. The tnati who
makes the pump, -did not discover the.
‘principal jof zttmosplieric pressure, tu-‘hiclt
led to ~ ptt"r'np-makittg ; that was done’ “by
the niatlicttiaticiati at Florcttcc, (-xpcii-
mcntiug in his cltanzber, on a glass tube.
And ltere we coiite Dock again to our glass;
and to an instance oftltc close connexion
of scientific rest-arclt with proc ical art.-—
It is plain, that this eitumeration might be
pursued till every art attd every science
were shown to run into every other. No
onercan doubt this, who will go over the
subject in llIiS,.l'lllll(l, beginning with any
one ofthe proccesses of mining and work-
