?K VJ JC From the H Histories Parabolc-s of F. Bona ve lure.*' Til:: ALGCBEAIST. A philosopher, accustomed to eig??brai c il calculations, having heard a s-rmo upon eternity, was dissatisfied with th suppositions uud examples proposed by th prencher ; and returning home, mi l retirin to his study, he set himself to think.upon th subject, and threw his thoughts logmhe upon paper as they .arose, in the foiio un manner:? 1. Finite, or what has an end, compare with infinite, or what has no end, is no'h ing; a hundred mi lions of years, compare with eternity, are nothing. 2. There is more proportion between t!i least finite and greatest than there is be tween the greatest finite and infinite ; ther is more proportion between an hour and hundred millions ofyenrs, than there is be - _ m.lltftm! r\C VMM nr.fl *??< ! tween a iiimuc u ? ? inu..g rriy; because, the least finite makes pa of the greatest ; whereas the greatest fiuit makes no part of infinite An hour make n part of a hundred millions of years, \< cause a hundred millions of years are on' an hour repeated a certain number of limes whereas, a hundred millions of years mafe no pnrt of eternity ; and eternity is not hundred millions of years repealed a ce tain number of tunes. 3. With regard to infinite, the least < the greatest finite are the same thing ; wit regard to eternity, nn hour or nn hundrc millions of years are same thing ; the dun tiori of the life of man, or the durat on i the worlds are the same thing; hecait bo h of them are nothing, and nothing a< mi s not of more or less. All this being evident and granted, I no suppose God to grant you, who read thi but a quarter of on hour to live, wherein secure an eternity of happiness, and avo bo eternity of misery ; and, at tho urn time, to reveal to you that the world i si sboulj come to an end an hour after dead task you, upon tics supposition what a count you would make of the world and i judgement? What account you wou make of its pains or its pleasures durir your lives? With what care would yo not think yourselves obliged to empln yourselves for God, and every moment < your lives to prepare for death f 0 foo that ye are / do ye not perceive that wit respect to God, with respec to eternity, tr supposition I have just made is indeed reality ? that the duration of your live compared with eternity, is less than a qua ter of an hour f and the duration of tl universe less than an hour ? I also make another supposition : if yc had an hundred years to live, and for yot support the whole of this period, must hav only what you could carry off in the spac of an hour from a treasury of gold and si ver coin, the entrance to which should t left open during that hour, I ask, in win you would employ that hour ? In slrepinj walking, feasting, or diversions ? Doub less not; but in amassing riches, and eve in loading yourselves with gold in prefe cnce to silver. O fools that we are I Wo raus' exist i all eternity, and during this eternity, we s*u. reap the part of what we have done in time and yet we do not employour time in ti deavouring to secure lite happiness of thi eternity ! But y ou will say ;?During our lives i is necessary to sleep, to drink, to eat. nnd t take some recreation. I grant it; but w h* hinders our acting in accordance with th advice of St. Paul, to "do nil to the glor of God,"and thereby obtain a recompenc for all ? It must bo confessed, that the pai sions are so lively, and opportunities so s< ducing, that it is a wonder that there shoul be one righteous man upon earth ; neve theless, there are such, and this is theefiVi of the mercy of God, and the grace of tli Redcem'-r. On the other hand, death, judgment, nn eternity, are truths so terrible, that it is nj lonishing there should be one sinner ttpo earth, such, however, there are! This i the effect of these great truths being forgo ten. Let us then meditate, watch and prat that we may be of the number of the righ! * * . . J .. ? t-ous tn tune and in eternity. Such was the sermon our philosopher mad for himself, and with which ho was so satis fied that he read it every day. fie di more ; he profiled by it, und led a life cor formable to the great truth he had coiittnuli before his eyes. comfort of childrev. Call not that man wretched who, wha' ever else he suffers *s 'o pain indictee pleasure denied, has a child lor whom n hopes and on whom he doats. Povort may grind liirn 10 ihe dust, obscurity ma cast its darkest mantle over him, the sonj of the gay may bo far from his own dwell ing, his face may be unknown to his neigh bors, and his voice may ho unheeded b those among whom he dwells?even pni, may rack his joints, and sleep may fine fron his pilliw ; but he hus a gem, with whic; he would not pnrt for wealth defying com putation, for fame fi ling a world's enr, fo the luxury of the highest health or for tb sweetest sleep that ever sut upon a mortal' eye. Coleridge. ? , - , Mr. Wnkcly, the coroner of London made the follow ing remarks upon the usi of the stomach pump in extracting poison generally, at a recent inquest held in thn city. In reference to laudanum, ho said ?K?f since he had become coroner, one o two circumstances had occurred, which h< conceived would be a great b -nefit to tin medical profession and the public at iarg< to be put in possession of. At an ir.qucs held at Chelsea, upon a gentleman unmet Btislt, the surgeon stated that ho used I hi stomach pump twice, and oq discharging he water injected into the stomach, not th< ,:gl?test sincdi or indication that laudanuu : ad been taken was perceptible.

It appeared to him that the mucus - must entirely absorb the laudnum, and thai i. j unless the tub.? of the pump is inser cd n i ;imonks' it, it would be of no avail. M?. e i Frazer related a similar instance where he e ' had extracted the mucus containing all t e g | laudanum swallowed, upon the tbiid applic i cation of the stomach pump. The coroner r ' said he merolv men iou?*d ttie circumstance, g ' as it was highly ?ssen:ial that :h? medical i profession should be made acquaint* d wi;h d ! any fact which could have a tendency o j preserve a human Me. d| ? i Campbell he poet, and Turner, iho artist, e were dining together with a huge party, a y ^ tew years ago.
