*i UK REAM OF CHRISTIANITY,
There i* a cturm more fair and bright.
Than Autumn's clear, unclouded sky ;
I; cheers the s<>ul^? it wakes delight.
And ici^iia in solemn dignity.
^Tis seen with*#* the silent grave*
\\ here * tary pilgrims seek repose ;
Wheie rest the ithca of ihe brave,
And *lecp* in ptucc tlu: child of woes.
Where v%eacy travellers rest is given ;
Its r*<hance fart* with golden tho't,
It lights tl>e spotless soul to heaven
'Tis seen within the hermit's ce-Hf
Where virgin solitude presides;
Where Than despairing loves to dwell,
bhut out from a.l the world besides.
And this si&all brighten at the last?,
Shall kindle oi> the closing eye,
Shall shine when all hut Meavtn is past
The 'BEAM of CHRISTIANITY?

Advantages which the i>ruit Crea'ion h-vt
OVV Mt !)?
<c If we examine well the bodies i
of different animals, we sha.l dUco- j
ver many advantages they possess
over man. Many of thern have
bodies much stronger, and more
crvmpact than die human species.
Most of ttrem, at their ftf t ^nuance
into the world, are capable of using
all their limb*, of seeking for their
food, and of fallowing* the instinct
imparted to them bv nature ; nor
liable to tjje cruel sufferings we ex
perience in our infancy, and which
so often injure our constitution
And what an admirable instinct and
saga* icy they * display ! what ad
dress and .skill they exert in the
use of their senses ! how exquidcc
their sense of sme 1 1 how piercins;
i their sight ! how rapid, how nimble,
how active in all their movements !
how they speed and fiy along ! and
if we consider the wonderful struc
ture of some of their organ?, t hi?
% ? o
noble and ma'estic figure ot some
o o
animah, we shall find with respect
to bodily perfections we often yield ^
| to, or scarcely equal many of "the
brute creation.
c< Some people are so weak, as
to complain that God ha- not rnven '
i them the wings 0f f e eagle, the
force and speed of the fiery cour
tier the subtle smell of the c'.o^s
the eye of a hawk, and the agility of
the ^tag. Due such desires are the
offspring of ignorance, of folly and
presumption, of men who do not
feel that they possess a soul, which
enables them to soar far above those
animals, and vs make all their pow
ers serve the convenience of man.
" Why has tie Creator given to
irrational creatures prerogatives^ '
| which a^e peculiar to their bodies ?
| Why has he endowed them*" Vvuhsf*
much strength, with Ufch exquisite
senses, and with so much agility 1
and address in their different mo
tions ? why has he endued them
with such wonderful instincts, & giv.
en them so much sagacHy in procu
ring their nourishment ? it can on -
ly be as ;i recompense to them bi
stead i f reiisofty and mother human
i faculties, which they want, and with
| which we arc favored. By the use
of our understanding* wc c:'.n pre
! serve ourselves from many jnala
diesj ar.d guard again t many dan-,
i gcrs ; we may, by observing a pro
I per regimen, or by having recourse
to medicine, cure the sickness and
infirmities of our bodies, or at least
relieve them. Iiv our intellectual
faculties we may procure and enjoy j
a multitude of conveniences : int'r- ]
course with others, together with
social life, contribute, in athotfsind
ways, to our wdl being. Brutes
are deprived of ill these advantage ,
merely because they nave not re
ceived the inestimable gift of rea
son. ? These inferior creatures
? i
would have been too unhappy, had \
not the Creator granted them some J
recompfcnce for that intelligence of
which they are deprived. On this
account, he has been in some sort
more liberal towaids us,. in the dis
tribution of certain corporeal ad
vantages, He has given tliem a
CQmtruciJpn, form and sense*/ ap
propriate to their different wintt.
He has gktff thcru a ariety of ?
instincts, iodustry, and an admirable
I Mgtcity, by *hich they can distip
raSm jfrliat is salutary from what -is :
J noxious, defend rhernselves, pro
curt ih^ir own nouKshrfient, and
provide (or their various neces
sities ; advantages, which wc have
, not in the s^me degree, and with
which we may very well dr*p*li?cy
?eeingwehave received privileges I
of . incomparably greater conse
quence.

admire the paternal care of a kind
