y?-r* ? I s From the Episcopal Recorder. A LETTER Addressed to a Young Lady upon the as- f scrtion that pure Morality, (without a t change of heart,) will be all sufficient e to recommend us'to the favour of Heaven, j Denr , Allow ono who really (eels interest in your eternal welfare, to ask, { where we are to look for this pure morality ? . Let us together and impartially, try to i examine the ground upon which we stand, for the other must be in error; and 1 think 1 with Young, "that if we judge amiss in the | supreme point, judging right in ail else, will , but aggravate our folly." ] Suppose, in the first place, you are right; and that where a young lady his been i darefully educated iri the duties of life, com- J , prised in the two tables of the law, she i needs nothing more to fit her for the socie'y 1 of the blest. Think you such an one has ( so performed her duties to Gou aid man, with a heart by nature wholly estranged from them, as to merit heaven, or enjoy its ?p?0funl employments site could got there? | ft UII11I3 W| ill*/ I4IU3 v/4 : ^ . j I " V. course, bo considered needlessly strict, and intended only to reform and exalt the char- , octera of the vicious,profane, and intemper- | ate, and not as the angels proclaimed it, , "Glory to God in the highes," "peace and good-will to men." In fact the doctrineof original sin, and that consequently "the ? whole world lieh in wickedness," must be : excluded from your faith ; u:i J if you at" ' j tempt the exclusion of thoso and like ex-} pressions from divine revelation, you will ; of course, think loosely of what remains, so , ^ that your compass is gone; and if that be , the case, just take a glance at vour sirwition. Behold an individual, whom, from hor indiscretion, you may believe to be an orphan, casting herself upon the ocean of life in a frail vessel, unwilling to n? knowledge she needs a pilot, and yet thinking an '; injured compass or chart will serve well j enough to direct her to the "haven where : ho would be." She starts, feeling proud of hor lofty independence of char ?c cr, and for a while this very principle upholds her < ir her course ; but wait till she ge's beyond j the eye of man, and then let conscience and j reason, if her impetuosity will allow them ' to speak, ask her if she i3 fiuppi/, really ; j happy ? Ah! no. Why wis I thus foolish 1, I have got wrong already. Will it be j \ utiougS for her to go back a little way and j bo more watchful for the future, or wiil her I' ? ' L - L ? _ I _ . _ _ i* 1 srirm< rca gutue or ng n?T dock. in spu? ??* i herself, to the very latitude from she s:art :*! , to return ? Would you not with all your i heart advise her, if you could, to humbi ?! herself and go nil the way back, in order; to "to receive Jesus into her little bark," \ and his precious word for her chart just as j' she finds it, remembering that a voice tie n i1 above has declared, "This is my belov.. ed Son, in whom I am well pleased." You '1 see, my friend, I believe you to be in er-' ror; nnd having s'artcd the same way m;,? j' self, and proved its perfect absurdity, would ! like to apprise you of your danger, and the j way of escape in time. The world and its pleasures I know are ] alluring, but they do not satisfy the cravings j of an immortal spirit; and when we find ! superior pursuits, they dwindle in the shade, j 1 would not exchange the "peace and jot/ 11' find in having a Saviour's arm to lean on? , hi3 name to trust to for a passport, and a i' I I ' 1 * ? r ?... i t I perfect iriciM to love, tor an "ine worm; rails ri?h and great.** It'l am right?nod i1 the Scriptures plainly declare "Except wc j' arc new creatures in Christ Jpshs, we can. ! not enter the kingdom of heaven ; and we ! ure also given to undi rs'and tint the far i??-r1 we advance in the divine life, the more we shall be capable of enjoying; but "withou flim we can do nothing"?what think you i fhen will be the miserable lot of those who ; phcc a deprndanceon their imperfect do-' ings? Oh, let us remomber, uTh'?re is no j other name under heaven whereby we can j bo saved," i know you will acknwolcdge you have nover attained the height of perfection of which you suppose we are capable in our own unaided strength, but oniy know those whom you think are fluted for the society "of just men made perfect," through reformation of life, indepcndea'ly of Him, who is emphatically styled "the Lord our rightoousivss." Suppose, my dear girl, that theso characters, to whom you allude, ure progressing d.?i!y, through him who loved anj bought thrm; and I tioccrely trust they are, although they.jm iy r.ot yet perceive [Iim, for "the light oft it, fUrlrnpcc tphen iim darLfii V'llilVki? ?!

You see I believe you among those who are sincere in error, or 1 should not take the interest I do to induce you to procure for yourself those internal evidences of the truth, by which alone, through the grace of God, you can l>e savingly convinced and converted. If God be the source of ail perfection, must he not be perfect ? and, according to your conception, can he be infinite in holiness and j justice, and yet suffer his law to bo trampled i under foot of men with impunity ? 1 confess I conld not worship such a God with 1 my heart, however much I might wish to, j hpcan^e I could not rpvurpnoo a nhnr>r * - ? .

Oh, no! upon an attentive examination of the annals , of mankind, we find the very best of die species are those who were most ready to ' exclaim in bitterness of spirit against them elves, wf abhor myself!" but yet find them oft rejoicing in jnother name, "knowing in j whom they herebelieved,** , Lei us then h for ever despair of oursolvcs, and come, C sinful and miserable as we are, at once to P Jesus, and we shallfiki restfor our souls, Jj on a rock which can never be movod ; and we may go on our way rejoicing."

Bite of a Lizard.?Wo find in the last number of th?* Boston Medical and Surgical Journal, the following curious account, furnished bv Dr.Samuel B. Cushmanoi Boo h ? - - y ~ ' lay, Me., of a death consequent on t!?e bite at'a green spotted lizard?an animal, which has never been considered venomous. The case is worthy the attention of uaturilisis : 4 On the 31st of Aug. 1836, 1 was calld to a li'tle girl, 13 years ofoge, the daugh. ler of Captain Joseph G. Rowe, of George, town, about nine miles from my residence in Booth lay, Me. Thirteen duys previously lu my visit, this lit.le girl, ns she, wasgath. erio { an armful ol s'ieks. leli something pricking severely the inside of the left font. On looking down she discovered, a large, gre< n spoite 1 Itz ?rd fastened to her naked fool, which she extracted with a fold ol It r gown, and v.i !i it that portion of ?.k n on which it had seized. The next day son complainod of numbness in the foot, as though it had b< en deprived of sensation by cording th<? etikie, and that occasional 4 pricking" thai occurs on the reiurn of cireolation. The numbness ex'ending up. ward?tho whole limb become severely swollen, and the most excruli.r.mg pain on he shi est mo ion followed; and over the lirection of the lymplm'ics, I observed the infljinatory blush. The muscles of the neck and jaw of that side were rigid and tender to the touch ; much difficulty of swallowing ; occasioned delirium, particularly the first week, and a wondcjfully increased mental acumen during her in'crv.ilsof re o son. The whole left side continued parti, lyze J, an I the pain unnba'ed. A shot! time before death, the limb became spotted, She lingered along in great agony u til the 2lst day of tiie bite, uheoduuih terminates h x sufferings. (J ving to my distance from th" patient, I had not opportunity for an autopsy, or tc examine wheilfr a fi amen! of the interna "planter nerve mig'tt not h ive been wounded ; hut there were so many symptoms o the i. Induction of a morbid septic po'sor into the system, that 1 carefully recordei them at the time, more particularly as thest symptoms, it is well known, b-iru close a< nalogy to tetanus. 1 have excluded tin treatment in this esse ; 1st, owing to th( time that ' lapsed previous 10 my visit, 2d because tbe sole object of this communica tion is ascertain, through your Journal who her the ! >. trd tribe are venomous (whirl has been doubted,) and whether in tcntanus the paralysis, great tumefaction, and spottec livid oppi arunce, before, and gangr *nous after, death, are symptoms that ever occur.'
