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.

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.

cation a d in every other respect, to take charge

The prices of t ution for a session of five
j months will be $6 for Spelling and Reading;
$8 for Grammar, Geography and Arithmetic*;
I and #10 for Philosophy, Rhetorick, Needlework,

This placo is believed to be as healthy as any
other in the United States, and board may be
had in any private family in the place at #6 per
month.
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.
