POETRY. | FAMILY ~CIRCLE. From the Southern Churchman. THE ROBIN'S NEST. A robin buiit its mossy nest Within a woodbine bower. And calm and sweetly sank to rest, Wei! shaded by the flower. Beneath the mother's wings there slept Four birds of tender mould, Which to each other closely crept, Nor felt, nor feared the cold. But a rude wind began to blow, And rock their cradle green, And scattered on the grass below. The coral blooms were seen. j And quick the rain began to fall, The thunder deep to roar, The robin9 thought so loud a call They'd never never heard before, J From dreams of dews and berries red, Andpurpie grapes, and flies, The mother raised her little head, And all the truth deseries. And quick her downy bo9om heaves. And wide she spreadsher wings, And sore her tender heart it grieves, To see her helpless thing?. But after swinging in the rain. From midnight till the davfrn, A peaceful hour come back again, And gladness decked the lawn. Tl>?? t,/im Ka? nott fho mrtlKor rrt^f>.

Her hymn of grateful love, While earth refreshed her tributes bring To Ilirn who reigns above. 'Tis thus my little children dear, Vour mother watehesyon,? Guards you from harm and midnight faar, ! From storms and dangers too. And God in heaven that mother gave, W;th ail her tender love, But He alone vo'.r "o i'* ' a ? ?ivf, And carry yo . A Tertnffser, /> - , ' Fioni toe ?- a:'.

' ji"' ue r-sn't of such an arrangement | would be rnos unwi9e and uselt >. mu9t be ! evident to every reflecting mind. Tho ! same evidence which the primit've Church possessed, if it can be 9hown clearly and satisfactorily, that it has not been mutilated in being transmitted to us, is equally valid and convincing. The only difference is that io the one cate the evidence is spoken and in the other written. The evidence itself is still the same. The Apostle is not here it is true to tell us that he was tfie friend and companion of Jesus Christ, that fee wa9 personally acquainted with the daily tuahits nf his life and the course of his nob. lie ministry, that he had conversed with him ?na'itbe fundamental doctrines of Ins kingdom, when he spnke as never man j pake, that he had beheld him in all his j humiliation, when he had not where to lay head, when lie was persecuted, when he was betrayed, when lis wa9 condemned, crowned with thorns, led away and enici. fied, that he had seen him in all his mojesty, aad power, healing the sick, restoring ' sight to the blind, opening the ears of the ; deaf, making the lame man to leap as a ! hart, loosing the tongue of the dumb, casting out devi s, summoning from their graves the sleeping dead, hushing the tumults of the eea and lulling the winds to repose, triumph- j ing over death itself and ascending up to heaven?I say though we have not this evi. j dence from the lips of the Apostle, yet we have it recorded with the pen of inspiration and communicated to us in our own Ianguage. Here then, in the Holy Scriptures, we enjoy the same light in regard to the meth- i od of salvation, that we could have enjoyed . tmrl WO rnreivnil it iliropllu frr?m ... - ; " ?? ?* "? ej'iiai ; source, instead of receiving it as we do from i some pure and uninterrupted channel of i communication. God in making known the message of mercy to mankind, adopt9 various methods. Whether he makes use of the tonge or the pen it mu9t be of no material imporlanoe to us so long as we nre convinced that we possess the truth as it >s in Jesus. Search the Scriptures, said the ' Saviour, for in them ye think ye have etern al life and they are they which testify orm?. With what pleasure and gratitude should we contemplate this invaluable treasure ? The preservation of the sacred volume from all error and injury in opposition to professed and secret foes, for so many centuries and through so many revolutions of time, is itself almost a miracle, and should serve o confirm us in the belief that it is indeed the Word of God. J1 men will not receive thi9 testimony, corroborated, as it is by a i multitude of favorable circumstances?by ; the simplicity of its style, by the charac'er, .end linrmpnvof ?be wifnf,esn?? by ?bf> nn. ture of the doctrines to which it refers and j by tiie^object wb-ch it professes to have id i f vie*, they woukJ not believe, though one or all the Apostles should not rise from the o dead and instead of presenting tl>ern with j d this testimony in a printed form should [ make a direct oral communication to thern.

The crucified saviour alive again from * the dead, and the ascended and glorified Ke- jj deemtr still present upon earth wherever \ two or three are garnered together in his i name ! What strange, and yet what joy. ,8 ful truths are there ! When is this promise j good ? always ! Where ? wherever two or j three are gathered together in h s name. ; c Does tnn apply only to the church to the a timo of prayer, to tho act of commemora. ting the death of the Saviour ? No doubt it applies emphatically fo such sacred oc- T casions. But does it less apply to the meet- fj ng of three confessors in their dungeons, three martyrs ar the slake, or three young missionaries of the cross, pledging them- i selves to each oher, and to their divine Re. deemer to consecrate tneir lives to the mis- , sionary work 1 Does it apply legs to two i or three anxious Christians meeiing for the purposes of mutual edification, or two or j J three afflict* d Christians, meeting for con- j j dolence and prayer ? If then tho promise be thus comprehensive, and its application thus varied, may it no: apply?does it not apfly to the members of the same family ' meeting at the family altar 1 and may it a riot apply to then# at other moments, bo , si le tr?e consecrated hour of prayer.

I^'iw <) t PROPOSAL S. ; FOR FUBLISHi.N'F A ( Temperance Journal. IN COLUMBIA, S. C. THE State Temperance Society of South Carolina, at the late Anniversary Meeting, in Columbia, resolved to establish if practicable, a Weekly Newspaper, devoted to " the cause of Temperance. The Executive Committee, who^ du:y it is to carry this resolution into effect, beg leave to address the ] several Societies and individuals, in the State engaged in this good cause, upon this interesting subject. i 1 - K?aTi,'an/ia ,n/l fninAllS I 1 n0 HIOI |/i c vaiv/iivy utiu i uuiuuu I effects of the use of intoxicating liqmrs, call j S loudly for some decisive measures to rouse public attention to this direful evil, and unite the counsils and efforts of the benevolentand patriotic, in arresting its progress. No means seem more wisely adapted to accomplish their purpose, than such a dissemmination of j facts and statements upon the subject as j ? would be effected by such a publication. The j j labours, experience end investigation of the i friends of Temperance in the Northern States, c liave accumulated treasures of knowledge and bargumeuts m this cause. But these valua tie materials are excluded from our communiy. by their boing mingled with speculations, hostile in our domestic institutions. The way therefore, in which the inlerestingdetails g and powerful reasonings, contained in the Temperance publications of the north, can be given to the public here, is through the columns of the proposed paper, ft ?.? thd3 manifest^ that the best interests of our State, and the '1 progress of the Temperance Reformation so,' vitally important to pubiic safety and happiness ! will be most effectually promoted by a general circulation of the Temperance Advocate. The following plan will regulate the publication. It will contain? , I. Original communications and domestic intelligence relative to the general subject of j' Intemperance. II. Copious ex tracts from Rooks, Pamphlets i and Newspapers, published tn other States to promote the Temperance cause. j III. A weekly summary of general and do- f mestic new s, prices current, &c. | < As the friends of Temperance, the expected j i patrons of this Paper, belong to different polit- ? ica! parties and religious denominations, all discussions of a controversial or sectarian i character, both as to politics and religion, will 1 be scrupulously excluded. t The general design of the publication is to ( furnish every family in the State, desirous oi ' obtaining it, with lull imforrnation and autben- ! tic documents as to direful evils of Intemperance, and the necessity of Reformation. As the commencement of such a Publica. nnltr ho u/arr*nfori hv a larcrfi subflcriotion W,,V j ? r> i a strong appeal is made to tho officers of Temperance Societies, and the friends of the cause to whom this Prospectus may be sent, to use prompt and active exertions to obtain as many j subscribers as possible. I, CONDITIONS. . The South Caro!ina|Temperancc Advocato ( will be published weekly, at Columbia, on a 1 uper-royal sheet, equal in contents to the ' Columbia Telescope. The price to subscri- ( bers will be Two Dollars ard Fistt Ckrts ' per annum, if paid in advance, or Thrkjb Dol- 1 lars, at the close of the year. In order to fill the subscription without delay, it is respectfully recommend to all Temperance Societies to subscribe for a number of copies for gratuitous distribution. The Executive Committee earnestly request every Gentleman, to whom this Circular is addressed, to act as agent for obtaining subscriptions, and to transmit the list of subscri- ) bers obtained to the Hon. Johr Brtcr, i Intendant of Columbia, previously to the first J day of March ensuing.
