TOE CHRISTIAN^ DEPENDENCE ON CHRIST. . How intimate, and entire, this depen. deuce is} His whole foundation is in Jesus ; he rejoices in himself. He says continually, "in the Lord, have I righteousness and strength." The best obedience of my hands Dares not appear before thy throne, But faith can answer thy demands, By pleading what my Lord hath done. The believer comes to God by him alone. He looks for his person and service in him. And making mention of his righteousness he goes forth to the calls of duty in strength. He feels that without him, 1 be can do nothing; that he can no longer * stand, than he holds him up; that he cannot s walk further than he leads him. But at the * same time he perceives that his Redeemer possesses an all-sufficiency; and he believes and knows, that w^iie without him, he can do nothing, through Christ strengthening hira, he can do all things. As he begins his course in this way, so he carries it on; and however advanced he may be in the life of God, he feels himself always an un profitable servant, and " looks for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." How truly and earnestly he says, I, on thy promises depend. (At least I to depend, desiro,} That thou wilt love me to tho end, . Be with me in tempation's fire; Will for me work, and in me too, Wilt guide me right, and bring me through. No other stay have I beside, . If these can alter, 1 must fall; I look to thee, to be supplied With life, with will, with power, with all. Rich souls may g'ory in their store, But Jesus will relieve the poor. Reader! Do you believe on the Son of God ? Have you a proper knowledge of his real character ? Do you regard him as the image of the invisible God, tho grand subject of ancient prophecy, the only atone, meat for human guilt, the perfect pattern of moral excellence, the way, the truth, and the life ? Can you reply,?to every earth. Iy object I can close my eyes, if to me it is _given "to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in his temple to every 1 etrthly object, I can close my heart, if to me it is given " to know the riches of the glory of this mystery, Christ in me, the hope of glory ?" Do you rely on the honour and the grace of Jesus, for life and salvation ? lie is most worthy of your firmest reliance. Io trusting your all to him, you lean not on broken reed, but on the Rock of Ages, on the pillar and ground of truth. What infiu. J ence has this faith upon you 1 True faith ' purifies the heart. Can a man believe that Christ gave bimseli tor us, in order to re. deem us from all iniquity, and continue tn 1 sin f Can a man believe that "blessed are { the pure in heart, for they shall see God/' and indulge vicious propensities in his soul ? True faith overcomes the world. The eye that looks to, celestial splendor, will not be das&fed by the vain pomp of this world; or will the afflictions of a moment render that heart whose treasure is in heaven, a ofuntain of tears. Faith works by love.? The perception of a Saviour's excellence directs the affections to him, and his dying love produces in the heart the most fervent charity, which constrains the Christian to do good, to communicate, and to be fruitfnl in every good work. Thus a simple and real dependance upon Christ, produces all ! the characteristics of a child of God. Blessed is the man who has the witness of the Spirit within him testifying that he has passed from death unto life. Blessed is he | who thus also adorns the doctrine of God bis Saviour in all things. He is an heir of God, and a joint heir with Christ; the par. t&pant of the richest blessings communicated by tl.e Gospel. Believers in Jesus ! Consider your dig* nity as connected with him. Behold your invaluable privileges as laid up in him, and , ?J ? How vast the treasure we possess! How great thy bounty, king of grace ! This world is ears, and worlds to come, Earth is our lodge, and heaven our home. O glorious portion of the saints! Lot faith suppress our weak complaints, And tune our hearts and tongues to sing Out bounteous God, our sovereign King. Episcopal Recorder. LAURA BRiDGEMAN. THE DEAF, DUMB, AND BLIND CHILD. The following interesting account of this young girl who is cut off from allcommuni. catiTO with the external world, excepting through the medium of the touch, is extrac. ted from the Annual Report of the Trustees of the New England Institution for the Ed. ucation of the blind h has been ascertained beyond (he possu bility of doubt that she cannot see a ray of Kgbt, cannot hear the least sound, and never exercises her sense oi smell, it she has any. Thus her mind dwells in darkness and still, ness, as profound as that of a closed tomb if midnight* Of beautiful sights, and sweet sounds, pleasant colors, she has no conception; nevertheless she seems as a bird or a lamb ; and the employment of her in ellecfoil faculties, the acquirement of a new idea, gives her a vivid pleasure, which is plainly marked in her expressive features.?She never seems to repine, but has all the buoyancy and gaity of childhood, is fond of fun -arid froltc, and when playing with the rest i of the children, her shrill laugh sounds loudest of the group. When left alone, she seems very happy if she has ber knitting or sewing, and will bttay heself for hours, if she is not occupied, idle evidently amuses herself by imaginary dialogues, or recalling past impressions ; the counts with her fingers, or spells out names of things which she has recently learned, in the manual alphabet of the deaf mutes. In this lonely self-communion she reasons, reflects, and argues; if she spells a word wrong with the fingers of her right hand, she instantly strikes it with her left, as her teacher does, in sign of disapproba.. I tion ; if right, then she pats herself upon the head, and looks pleased. She sometimes purposely spells a word with the left hand, looks roguish for a moment, and laughs, and then with the right hand strikes the left, as if to correct it. During the year she had attained great dexterity in the use of the manual alphabet of the deaf mutes ; and she spells out the words and sentencess which she knows so lust and so aptly, that only those accustomed to tins language, can follow with the eye, the rapid motions of her fingers. But wonderful as is the rapidity with which she writes her thoughts upon the air, still more so is the easy and accuracy with which she reads the words thus written by another, grasping their hands in hers, and following every movement of their fingers as letter after letter conveys their meaning to her mind. It is in this way that she converses with her blind playmates, and nothing can more forcibly show the power of mind in forcing matter to its purpose, than a meeting between them. For, if great talent and skill are necessary for two pantomines to paint their thoughts and feelings by the movements of the body, and the expression of the countenance, how much gieater the difficulty when darkness shrouds them both, and the one can hear no sound ? When Laura is walking through a passaffe wav. with her hands spread before her, C7 0 ' she knows instantly every one she meets, and passes them witli a sign of rcognitlon, but if she be a girl ofher ow n age and es. pecially one of her favourites, there is instantly a bright smile of recognition?an intertwining of arms, a grasping of hands? and a swift telegraphing upon the tiny fingers, whose rapid evolutions convey the thoughts and feelings from the outposts of one mind to those of the other. There are questions and answers?exchanges of joy and sorrow?these are kisslngs and par. tings?just as between little children with all their senses. One such interview is a better refutation of the doc'rines, thnt mind is the result of sensation, than folios of learned argument. If those philosophers who consider man as only the most perfect animal, and attrbute his superiority to his senses, be correct, then a dog or a monkey should have mental power quadruple thatof poor Laura Bridgeman, who has but one sense. We would not be understood to say that this girl has the same amount of knowledge that others of her age have,?very far from i; she is 9 years of age, and yet her knowledge of language is notgreatei than a com. mon child of 9 years. There has been no difficulty in communicating knowledge of (act6?positive qualties of bodies?numbers, &c. but the words of them, which other children learn by nearing, as they learn to talk, must all be communicated to Laura by a circuitous and tedious method. In all the knowledge which is required by the perceptive faculties, she is of course back, ward ; because, previous to her coming her perceptive qualities were probably less ex. ercised in one week, than those of common children are in one hour. But what may be termed her moral nature?her sense of propriety, &c. is equally well developed as those of other children.?Protestant Viii' dicator. There is a sweet and simple custom pre. valent in Iceland, which marks the habitual devotion of its inhabitants. W henever they leave home, though for a short journey, they uncover their heads, and for the space of five minntes, silently implore the protection and favor of the Almighty. Dr. Henderson, from whom this fact is derived, and who ob. served it in the Icelanders who oflen atten. ded him on his excursions, also remarked it in the humblest fishermen when going forth to procure food for their families. After having put out upon the sea, they row the boat into quiet water at a short distance from the shore, and bowing their un. covered heads, solict the blessing of their Father in Heaven. Even at passing a stream, which in their country of precipices is often an operation fraught with danger, they observe the same sacred custom. This affecting habit of devotion has been imputed to the fact, that from their isolated situation, and modes of life, the mother is almost the only teacher, and her instructions seem to have become incorporated with their very elements of being. AN-ODD FAMILY. In the reign of King Wliliam the Third, (here resided at Ipswich a family distinguished by the name of the Odd Family. Every event, remarknbly good or bad, hap. pcned to this family on the odd day of the month, and every member had something odd in his or her person, manner and be. haviour. The husband's name was Peter, and his wife's Rabah ; they had seven children, all boys, viz : Solomon, Roger, Matthew, Jonas, David, and Ezekiel. The husband had but one leg, his wife but 1 arm. Solomon was born blind of the left eye, and Roger lost his sight by accident. Jame9had his ear bit off in a quarrel, and Matthews was born with only three fingers on the right hand. Jonas had the stump foot, and David was humD-backed. All these except David, were remarkably short, while Ezekiel was s:x feet one inch high at the age of nineteen. The stump footed Jonas and humpbacked David got wives or fortune, but no girl in the borough would listen to the addresses ot their brothers. The hus. bands hair was as black, as jet, and the wife's remarkably white; yet all the children's hair was red : The Husband was killed hy accidentally falling into a deep pit in the year 1701 ; and his wife refusing ail kind of sustenance, died five days after him. In the year 1703, Ezekiel enlisted as a grenadier, and although he was wounded in S3 places he recovered. Rodger, James, Matthews, Jonas and David, it appears by the church Registers, died in different places, and were buried ontfie same day, in the year 1714 : and Solomon and Ezekiel were drowned together in crossing the Thames in the year 1723.?London Star. ASHBOROUGH Female Academy. THE Exercise*? of the Female Academy at this place will commence on Monday ti c I 17th day of June, under the direction of MISS ELIZA RAE, j of Boston.

It is intended to give a thorough course of instruction in this institution, and to qualify tho I pupils in every respect to take their places in ' society. Tho Trustees flatter themselves that the distinguished qualifications of the lady whom thoy have engaged to take charge of tho School, tho health ot the place, and the low price which tho inhabitants have consented te charge for board, will attract to the institution & liberal share of (public patronage.
