*' LEST WHEN THOU HAST EATEN AND ART FULL, THOU FOROTT THE LOUD THY GOD." A singular caution this, one would say w?:o kn-nvno hing of the effects of sin. What ? shall the reception of benefits cause the g:vrr :o be forgotion ! Snail a father say :o his son, ? My son, I am afraid to grr-r.tvou this favor which you r -quest of tiie, is-*st it should make you disodient and ungrateful ?" Shall a king say to his subject, "l dare not bestow upon you the estate, you desire, and which I would gladly give lest my kindness should make vou a traitor ?" Yet God must say to his people, 1 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast . built goodl fences and dwelt therein ; and w hen thy flocks and thy herds multiply, and wtil Co this ? It is the favorite grass ot tne when thy flocks and thy herds multiply, an I thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou host is multiplied, then thy heart lif;ed u;?, and thou forge test the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth of the land of Egypt, from ihe house of bondage," &zc. Such is the wondrous power of sin, which can thus change, as it were, the very course of nature, and extract evil from the choicest blessing?. With a perverse ingenui y, which is reproved even by the instincts of i.? k.?in mm oonfriwes to draw It JV? U1UIW VIV/UiiutM - ? poison from that which in itselt sjood ; just as bodily sickness converts into poison and death the food which nourishes and strengthens a healthy frame. And as in such a case it is kindness in the physician to withhold the food whic.i might become an occassion of destructions, so is it compassion in God which in iuccs him to keep from his children those blessings winch he sees they would not use angh?. AuJ litre you may see, disciple of Christ,?the explanation of a dull *ul y which has often perplexed you? v.?v you have not more wealth, or influeo. or whatever else it is that you have s ? long desired, and which you fancy you * r.i lejoice to employ in the service of "htist. Be assured you have as much as >u would employ in his service ; just as much as would be really a blessing totyou. God sees that if you had more you would ooawrt it into a curse, by suffering vour heart to be lifted up, and forgetting Him ; ? > -CI . .1 . 7 J therefore b? wiihhoias it. Ana 1111 gshuuiu bestow it upon you before you are pre. pared to use it unght, it would bo for tlie sam?- reason that he dealt thus with the children of Israel, u that I may humble thee to J prove thee, and know all that is in thj heart." Cut for the stubborn sinner, what is left 1 what remains hut that those whom kindness cannot move shall be subdued by force ; that terror shall come in where love has failed, and wrath subdue where grace cannot conquor ? when God has doue all for his vineyard that he cut do to fence and to plant and to water it, ue vain,?what remains but that he shall lake away the hedge thereof, and break down the wall thereof, and give it up to utter destruction t And oh, beware, ye foolish and unwise, who thus requite the Lord ; for terribla is the wrah that grows out of love incensed,?,ea, very terrible is tht icrath the Lamb. O. Akccdoteof a Child.?A gentleman was, some little time since, called upon ta - - - j--?? r 1_ Yisi a tiying lomuie. nc the call; and,enering the humble cottage where she dwelt, he heard in an adjoining room, an infant voice. He listened, and fouud that it was the child of the poor dying woman, engaged in prayer." l40 Lord, bless my poor mother," cried the little boy ; " and prepare her to die. O God, I thank thae that I have been sent to a Sunday school, and there, have been taught to read my Bible ; and there learned, that when my father and mother forsake me, thou wilt take me up. This comforts, me my poor mother is going to leave me. May it comfort her, aud may she go to heaven ; and may I go there too ! O Jesus, pity a poor child, and pity my poor dear mother, and help me to say * Thy will be done !' " He ceased, and the visiter opening the door, approached the bedside of the poor woman. -"Your child has been praying with you,'' said he ; " I have listened to his prayer." " Yes,', said she, making an effort to rise, 44 he is a dear child ; thauk God he hns been sent to a sunday school. I cannot read myself, but ho can, and he has read the Bi. hie to me ; and I hope I have reason to t>less Uod lor it. les, I have Itarneri from him that I am a sinner; I have learn, ed from him ol Jesus Chriat; and I do, yes 1 do as a poor sinner, put my trust in him. I nope he wdl forgive me ; I hope he has ?rgiven. 1 am going to die ; but I am not afraid. My dear child has been made the means of saving my sou!. O ! how thank, ful am I that he was sent to a Sundayschool," Such was the hope, full ofimmor. tality, with which me sufferer awaited de. th; and thus, in the providence of God this dear child, educated at a Sunday school, became the spiritual parent of his mother. From the Pastoral Address of the Bishops of the Episcopal Church, 1833. The whole Truth?There is danger, from the infirmity of our natures, of being too inucli influenced by a dislike of some doctrines, or tenets, or by a partiality for others, and of giving by forced construction, to pas. satzes sf the ScriDtures the sense which we prefer, rather than that which the Divine Spirit intended. It is natural, and not un. common, with serious and well-meaning Christiana, to cite chiefly the texts which seem best to agree with their own views ; jo confirm their favourite, or the creed distinctive principles of theuTown sect or denomination ; to urge them much, and dwell upon them, while they neglect, or more seldom refer to such passages as seem to be less favourable to their own sentiments. We should be aware of this weakness, and of the evils which it produces, being ever v ready and desirous to teach and to hear the truth, and the whole truth, as it ?s in Jesus ^rist, though it may no: be according to tf owtt fnrrf. Consider your Faults.?When accused of error, it is more safe and more profitable to examine than to jus.ify ourselves. When falsely accused, the best manner of defence is the tatting our conduct show the mistake of those who speak against us. The propensity of our fallen nature to notice and to magnify the faults of others, while we arc blind to our own, we should a'so be aware of. As it ts the duty of in~ * 1 1 * ~ r<uilta rltlipr Cliviauais IU wuuoiuv;! 411^11 ;han their neighbours' ; so it is of sects and denominations. Christian charity " rejoiceth not in iniquity, but in the truth site is more ready and disposed to notjCJ and to praise what is good in other Ciir .iiiis, than to expose errrors, or to censure their faults :?she believeth and she liopeth all things, which are most favourable to their good motive s and Christian character. Our clashing opinions and differing view's I of religious subjects, as also the censures : and the opposition which we meet with from | others, are like afflictions, trials of our faith, and charity. Unreasonable opposition, and censures most unmerited, did our Suvlour endure with patience and compassion, and the best of his disctplea must expect the like. It is enough for the disciple to boas his Master. Had we no trn Is of this sort, how could we know, or the world know, that the spirit which was in Christ, is also in us ? How. without such trials, can we honour our pro ft ssion, in the exercise of Criristiun graces ? South uaronuu i J-jAIcxander May Applicant vs. Jame- C. Mas. soy Sarah his wife, Pleasant 11.

These literary facilities presented in the Vil. lage of Bennottsville, distinguished for health, morality, sociability and relinement, the Board of Trustees confidently deem sufficient to induce extensive patronage. vtTo the surrounding country, to whose liborality and patronage each department of the Int stitution is already indebted for its commodious structure and eminent respectability the Board think it unnecessary to make an appeal, a- ieadi. ly might they suppose that a luxury when obtained would not be enjoyed : but to those who in absence of such facilities have to seek them abroad, this advertisement is more particulorly directed.
