O how csultingly I watched My budding flower p it forth? O, sure I thought there ne'er was match'd Such charms in all the earth! Young mothers always think the same, When kindles the mysterious flame, Maternal bosoms prove : The charm is in their hearts and given The signet binding earth and heaven, From God's own fount of love. \ ; (' iniru.-ts this lamp of life ;'o woman's tender care, v- ;< .g it from 'lie storms and strife >1 .m's sterner strength must dare.

All but this I could endure? Ah, had he passed away, When his young soul was youug and pure; Aud yet how did I pray That he might live 1 he was my trust? But now 1 bow my head in dust, And ved my bleeding heart; Childless and hopeless I must dwell? My son, my son, whocouid foretell That thus vvc two should part.

CORNELIA. . ?HSMgfM??IMPB???I From the Episcopal Recorder. O.N THE DITRAVITY OF MAN. Depravity is not a scriptural term. Cor. rupt on is. This latter word is usually applied to the body ; and means the stare after death. When applied to the soul, it is equivalent with moral death ; an enure ties, titution of holiness. There is u passage in S*. Paul's letter to the Coloss'ans, which seems to settle the dispute about the ex eut ol man's depravity or corruption : u You ickoiccre sometime alienated, and enemies in your mind.?, by wicked works, yet nuw hath he reconciled." The apostle is addressing himself U 4ko mofMknt?c aT tirLmk !AJ n lOUOll LUUI Lll) Uiw ? IV. HIWV-I 3 V/l WOIUII he now calls 44 saints,1' and * faithful brethren," who 44 sometime'' before their conversion " and " new creation in Chris?. Je? sus," were * alienated and enemies in their Blinds, by wicked works." Reader, weigh well the import of these words. You ore man, partaker of the same nature. Let us try to get a right knowledge of ourselves. That which the Holy Ghost, by the pen ot the iipos'le Paul, has causal to be written ?or our learning, dtserves careful and sermjs consideration. He tells us that the > ?ssians who believed in Christ, were, ore their reconciliation to God,41 aliena?nd enemies in their minds." What s rue of the Colosians, was equally true - Romans, and Corinthians, and Philip. I'hessalomcant ; of Cretes and i the dwellers in Mesopotamia, - u, Asi*Tand Bybynia ; in His. c?<* iiu, nd Britain and America ; of men of li n i ion6, and through all >. Itis a general proposition, und true j ill. Before th? y are reconciled to God, to God, throuth faith in Jesus Christ, all :irt., without exception, uitenaied and ene. lines in their minds, by wicked works." L, ' this respec', 44 there is no dit'rr.-nce every mouth is stopped, u;;d the whole worid must plead guiltytguilty. Is not this the meaning o: t e rerm> used ? 44 Alienated, estranged" From what ? From 44 the life of God," as St. Paul expresses h'tr.self to the Ephesiaos; es.ranged from the knowledge of God, from righteousness; and from true n ss. God and the unconverted sinner . . /'( rS. He does not know God. - x hi ' foe righteousness of God's o- t >eLute of holiness. . Ins the worst of the statement. < i'\ alienated, but he is " an 1 in 'us mind. Tell Irm of h '"utter and iaws, and there >i d a d ep-seaad, fixed, and u?mty stirred up in hts mind. The , tn of man, in its natural condition, is de. teaful above all things, and desperately wicked." The scat of man's " enmity" against God you will observe, is in his w mind." In the noble faculties of bis soul. The imag. ination of the thoughts of bis heart, are only etil continually. aiiwi 111 liwiyiiaraapajMyi IHI imnw#^npy | Reader, let me pause to ask you a ques-1 j :ion Do you believe this ? I will suppose j J you do not. My object will be to illus. j trato the truth of what the apostle says, I j wnivm^ lor the present the advantage j I which ! m:i?tit claim from the authority of1 ' too word of God. clearly (as I ttiink) ex-j ' pressed. I will address myself to your un-1 I demanding an 1 to your conscience. I will, j appeal to what is passing in vour own! I :iii..d. or has passed t lero a thousand tirres, j ni l what s .amdiar t-j your daily observa-1 tion.

Wnat but an alienated heart, and a j J mind at enmity against him, could induce j the mad and presumptuous wickedness on; t'.o part of a creature, such as man, in re.

A j j world alienated from God, and enemies in | I their minds by wicked works. The mos j excellent part of man. his soul, the seat of; ' intelligence, and moral chancier, is not only j i alienated, but full of malignity against God I | ?poisoned with deadly hatred of his pure , j and holy law. The noble facul ics of the j I soul, which were created to bo employed : in high and and iioly contemplation ofheav. enly tilings, are d -graded to a preference of things earthly, st usual. and devilish. I Gain, tilings which cannot profit, ore pre- ' j Icrrcu to God and things above' No mat. ! ter what it is that occupies :he thoughts of; ! men, it God be excluded, every thing else j 1 becomes evil, and one thing as well as , another proves the alienation of the heart i from him, and its enmity against him. AUs! how do men deceives themselves j upon this subject ? Mow do they attempt to J graduate the scale ef moral obligation to ! suit themselves ? One man says this is not i i sinful, and an- ther that is not. They o j : not consider that every thing they do, what, i i ever it may be is sinful und bnt a varied il- j lustration of the alienation and depravity of' | their hearts, un il they truly repent, turn ; j unto God, believe the gospel, and submit to { the yoke of Jesus Cnrist. There was a j { difference in the ouiward appearance be- | j tween the Pharisees and the tSadduces, but! i none in reali v in the sight of God ; so. there is a diffe^hce between those who call Christ Lord, wait upon God in public worship, and eat at his tabic, and others who make no prolusion of faith, never are seen ; at the house of pra\er,or at the table of the Lord; but, if neither class do the will of God, in the righteous judgment of Heaven, ! they are equally condemned.

A | i branch of evidence which is of wide and j j terrible application. God claims that his I glory shall be the end, which every intelli- j i gent creatare must set before himself." j |4 He made ali things for himself;" and has I 1 so arranged his moral govern nent, that ; while his creatures aim at his glory, they I do at the same time promote their own blessadaess. This rule appl es to men, * Whether ye eat or drink, or whatever you do,doall to the glory of God !" Who re- j gards this rule? Whether professing ] Christians or others, in this present age j of thp world, who intends in every thing which he does, to consult and seek the di- ] vine glory? If any do, their hearts are | changed. And it has not been without a I painful conflict with their sinful, alienated . nature. The number of such, I fear, is u I small, tor the most part, men seeK meir | own, not the things that are Jesus Christ's. | Each one is a God uato himself. He wor- ; saips himself, lives to himself, and makes it! the s udy and business of his life, to please j himself. Reader, the above is a picture of thyself,; if tnou art a man, and hast not been Iransformed, by the renewing of your mind into i the image ot Jesus Christ. \ cry probably j you are thanking God that you arc not as i other men, and vainly dreaming ofjiutifca. 5 tion belore him, in your own righteousness. j Know thou from one who has no interest in dn eiving you, that if you are not living to lh* glory of God, cons coned by the love of Christ, and sacrificing every earthly prospect of pleasure or of profit, that you may please iiim wlm Wr?fh Kniiaht vou with his hlrtnd. it is because your heart is yet alienated from the life of God, and full of enmity against him.

It is an impressive considers ion, that at some future period, the character possessed by any person will be confirmed to him, without the possibility of change. Such a state is so dissimilar to the present, that it is now inconceivable by us, or is destitute j of reality in our experience. The present j worlJ is full of fluctuations, and changes;! not indeed of frequent radical changes of \ character ; yet changes from circumstance ; to circumstance, and from condition to con- ; di.ion. Tiie external forms of character j change ; the man is not what he was.?lie j w ,.s a sober man once, andhe has become a I drunkard ; or he was a drunkard j ' and become sober ; rich, and become i I * \J IJ J O'lU'l i b\J \ J o 111* UUV/II %??w "|'V V fiejm format ion of the Rible. It" these things are so, how eventful is the brief term of life which we spend in this world. It is tne season when a character is formed which is to be retained to etern ty ; and although the c reumsiances there will be unlike mose here, yet he radical state of the heart will be retained. The unholy passion may be endure I without j tnc means of gratification ; and this may be the gnawing of the worm that never dies. The passion for place and power, may be r t lined, w ii t there is not ihe remotest room for the ends of ombi ion to be answered. The lust for gold, (the aurt sacra fames) may not he rooted out of the soul; j while gold itself is for ever bevond the ! reach. So may the fueling of revenge lie felt j and felt perpetually, in eternity, while the i objects of vengeance are beyond the reach ; j or if the hated obj-ct is before you, suffer- 1 ing the same wo<; as you do, and, and your \ mnliciousnoss against him. the verv act adds ! to your own torments. Thestirmgof the passions, instead of giving relief, as in thi world, is like the-rankling of a dart in a festin \ Every gmovement is ,an ; increase ol agony, for he is filthy still. H i ! unholiness clings to him ; his depravity his garment. He is loathsome to himself, and to all other .T%0 ! what a worldjof wonders ! What a scene of discomfort and woe ! But he that is holy, shall be hoiy still. Here the s^ene is reversed : the heart be | ing in unison with nil others, and with God i himself, there is nought to excite uneasiness, nor to occasion pain. The passions are.all pure ; the employments are all pleaI sing ; the child of God, retaining the love to goodness exercised here, has there a ; sufficiency to fill and satisfy his most en- I ; larged desires ; his treasures are safe, and ' | they with him there. God is the only 1 source of delight to him; and he is ever unchangeable. Well, then, may the Chris- ' I tian look forw <J with complacency to the hour of dea'li ; and, with joy unspeakable, j | 'o the see i<?, which await him in a state of' j unceasing, unabated, unalterable felicity, and pi rl'Ct holiness before the throne oft 1 God and tho Lamb.?N.

Societies and individuals, in the State gaged in this good cause, upon this interes)g snbject. The inci easing prevalence and ruinous Fects of the use of intoxicating liquors, call idly for some decisive measures to rouse iblic attention to this direful evil, and unite ' e counsils and efforts of the benevolent and itriotic, in arresting its progress. No means em more wisely adapted to accoinplis h eir purpose, than such a dissemrainatiou of cts and statements upon the subject as ould be effected by such a publication.^The hours, experience and investigation of the iends of Temperance in the Northern States, Lve accumulated treasures of knowledge atad trgumeuts in this cause. But these v&lua e materials arc excluded from our communi. by their being mingled with speculations istiJe in our domestic institutions. The ay therefore, in which the interesting details id powerful reasonings, contained in the emperance publications of the north, can be ven to the public here, is through the columns the proposed paper. It is thus manifest at the best interests of our State, and the ogress of the Temperance Reformation so tally important to public safety and happiness ill be most effectually promoted by a general rculation of the Temperance Advocate. ml r II I- - -It 1.4. .I ...LI!.. me roiiowing pian win reguiate me puuuea>n.
