IT is in view of the objects which are pre
sented to the mind by the light of divine
truth, that sinners are awakened, convict
ed, converted and sanctified. Hence the
Lord Jesus Christ said in his prayer for his
people, “ sanctify them through thy truth ;
thy word is truth.” A knowledge of the
truth is necessary tosaivation. Parents then,
who desire the salvation of their children,
will faithfuhy and diligently give their
children religious instruction. The minds
of children cannot remain vacant. If their
minds be not filled with truth, they will
be filled with errour. If the truth do not
awaken their consciences and sanctify their
hearts, by errour their consciences will be
stupified and their hearts will be hardened.
If their souls be not saved through the
truth, by errour they will be destroyed.—
It was a lie that, “ brought death into the
world and all our woe.” Every parent, it
may well be expected, will be as diligent
in giving his children religious instruction
as he is desirous of their eternal salvation.
Abraham, who was greatly concerned for
the spiritual welfare of his children and
servants, faithfully instructed his numerous
household. God commanded his ancient
people to give their children religious in
struction with the greatest constancy and
diligence. ” These words, which L com
mand thee this day, shall be in thine heart.
And thou shalt leach them diligently unto
thy children and shalt talk of them, whcli
thof sittest in thine house, and when thou
walkest by the way, and when thou lipst
down and when thou risest up.” Joshua's
resolution to serve the Lord with his house
implied a determination to teach his fami-

A SCENE IN RNODE LSLAND.
Lost to youth’s enthusiasm,
Lost to all poetick fire ;
The mind must be a lifrieH ehs«n>
That these scenes do not inspire.
What e’er can warm 41? imagination
Please the eye of charm the ear,
In enchanting variation,

Raising most sublime emotion,
Lifts and awes the astonish’d soul.
There his with hope elated,
Strive the upland heights W» gain i
But* like human hopes frustrated,
Bellow to the distant mam.
Stilt with indignation swelling,
Calls his surges from afar ;
Still repell’d and still repelling
Rages in continual war.
Here the waters idly sporting,
Fondly woo the grassy shore;
And more calm recesses courting
Shun the ocean’s stormy roar.
Hence more tranquil joys pursuing
4 Petty steals away.
Oft his peaceful course reviewing.
Winds along with sweet delay.
Lo the raptur’d eye beguiling,
How tlie distant prospect channs,
Rocks, hills, vallies, meadows smiling,
Rise secure from all alarms.
To these the grove his shade opposing,
Overhangs the peaceful flood;
Alxne his tow’ring branches closing,
Rivals each surrounding wood.
Pious awe and sweet composure,
This sequester'd gloom inspires;
While from its secure ineloSurc,
Every ruder thought retires.
Moss-grown rocks theit heads erecting,
Heighten still the pleasing gloom,
And their circling flow’rs protecting,
Bid them unmolested bloom.
*'' Hero the birds, the sun-beatns rfy’.ng,
Nature’s inspiration sing j
Echo to their voice replying.
Makes the neighbouring vallies ring;
This fair spot with partial pleasure,
Petty-Qjiamscott’s arms entwine i
Leaves with pain his fav’rite treasure
Parting feels regret like mine.
Soon again thy waves returning,
Shall embrace this blissful shore,
Fate my fondest wishes shunning,
Bids me different acenes explore.
Follow still (hy sweet employments,
Wave ye woods, and ocean roarj
Ye shall give sublime enjoyments,
When your Emma is no more.
