Be Honest with the Dead
Oh! break not lliou that holy vow,
' imposed by dying bed,
False to the living, if thou wilt,
Hut honest with the dead.
That wasted form, that sunken elieek,
That hand which clasped thine own,
That voice which feebly urged its wish,
In wcnk nod measured lone.
'One cherished purpose unfulfilled,
One aim uncompassed yet,
Oh, will you execute the trust,
^Vr that trust forget !'
I
And though low bending by that couch,
Reluming that caress.
And sobbing out amid thy grief,
' Ves! oh. my darling yes I'
Picture afresh the parting scene,
Recall the blazing eye,
And let the pledge that chamber heard.
Revive in memory. '
That pledge ! and has the lapse of time j
Kfl'tced it from thy heart !
Woe to thee! should that vanishes! form
To life and beauty start. ' ,
What would thou say it that calm eye |
Now sat in dentil's ci'liiwi.
- 1 '? \
Should dci.tu anew thy soul In haunt. i
Tu |>:ile thy quivering lips.
: i
Shrinking within n nnrros fold, |
Thou i-uiiM'mI not meet its ga/e, t
Its |>it\in^r. hut upbraiding glance, <
Would xrnrcli like* tropic rajs. <
\
Oh! krrp ilrit promise ! haste to ?lo , (
What others might have done, '
It would have heeii consigned to f->r, | J
'Tin binding on hut one!
itedeeiu thy promote ! inward peneu, | '
Shall thus thy coii-cienee Wud,
False to the living, if thou wilt,

at the base, and 8 feel square at the lop,

cC ; ception, and the obelisk brought to its
le base. Many were the ingenioiis conlri

ng j its last resting place, all of which excited
,,sl the deepest interest among the people.?

We take pleasure in eon plying with
the request of a subscriber asking the
publication of two passages from a ser
iim ii <>l John Wesley on 'Catholic Spin;.'
The attention of 'Charity' is particularly
directed to these brief b.rt pointed ex
liacts ;
'Nay further :?although every man
necessarily believes that every particular
opinion which he holds is true, (for to believe
anv opinion is not 'rue is the same
tiling as not to hold it.) yet can n<> man
he assured lli.il all his own opinions,
taken together, are true. Nay, every
thinking man is assured they arc not ;
Unmanvm rst rrrurr et iuhchc ; to he
ignorant of in any things, and to mistake
in some, is the 'necessary condition of tin

'From hence we may learn, first. That
a catholic spirit is not snmtla li re latini
dinarianistn. It u not an indifference to
ail opinions : tliis is the fpawn of hell,
not the off?pring of heaven. This unset
lied ties* of thought, this b ing'driven to
and fro, and tossed about with every
wind of docliine,' * a groat curse, riot a
blessing ; an irrcconeiiahle enemy, not a
friend, to true Catholicism. A man of a
truly catholic spirit has no* now his reii
gion to seek, lie is fixed as the sun in
his judgment concerning the main branches
of Christian doctrine.
'It is true, he is always ready to hear
and weigh whatsoever can be offered
against bis principles ; but as this does
not show any wavering in his own mind,
so neither does it occasion any. lie does
not halt between two opinions, nor vainly
endeavor to blend them into one. Ob
serve this, you who know r.ol what spirit
ye are of; who call yourselves men of a
catholic spirit, only because you are of a
muddy understanding; because your
mind is all in a mist; because you have
no settled, consistent principles, but are
for jumbling all opinions together, lie
convinced that you have quite missed
your way ; you know not where you are.
You think you have got into the very
spirit of Christ; when, in truth you are
nearer the spiiit of anti ohrist. Go, first,
