The Priendlefs Orphan.
YE, who can shed a pitying tear,
When mournful tales are told.
Attend ! whilst I, in plaintive verse,
An orphan's woes unfold.
'Reft of his parents in his youth
He knows no mother's lore;
No father can with anxious care,
His follies disapprove.
No tender mother's care he knows
Should heaven affliction fend ;
No father's fond affection views !
Depriv'd of ev'ry friend.
Full oft, when poverty complete,
He afles reliefin vain ;
No friendly hand supplies his wants,
He's treated with disdain.
Such is a friendlefs orphan's fate !
No happiness he knows;
Nor fees, 'till the hour of death arrives,
The end of all his woes.

The Holy Volume is admirably calculated
to inspire the mind of man with heavenly "sen
timents, and to ennoble his heart with dove
like charity—These lines of that sacred ora
cle were most certainly intended to inspire,
to build up, and to cherish and keep alive, an
universal benevolence, love. Charity, Unity, .
peace and harmony among mankind—they
breathe forth sentiments most pure, most ho
ly, most divine, and God-like—Sentiments
which, if more universally studied and prac
tifed, would prove fraught with all the bles
sings and riches which man, poorfallen man,
could with to become an heir to, both in this
word of perplexity and another more blessed
and peaceful, even the Heavenly Canaan—-
in this world, a happy, quiet, peaceful con
science; in the other, an eternal, uninter
rupted, boundless felicity, shall be the great,
inestimable reward of those who make the
sacred volume their guide. I fay, if the sen
timents which our text inspires, were more
universally praftifed among mankind, the
most happy consequences would ensue, and
such as mould pursue them would become
heirs es all the blessings, the riches, the en
joyments, of this world and a happier one to
come, yea a blessed eternity. Our text af
fords to the profeffing disciples of the blessed
Immanuel ajudicious inculcation of char
ity and forbearance—alfo a seasonable cau
tion and reproof to all who are not profeffors
—And in another place we read, " Who art
thou that judgeft another man's servant? to
his own master he ftandeth or falleth." God
is the great, just master of us all—therefore
let every man search and try his own heart ;
let him cast out the filth and hypocrisy, that
he be not as the whited lepulchre, a fair var
nish out fide, but rottenness within—Let ev
ery man prove his heart good and his pro
feffions sincere, by an honest, holy, up
right life—For if any man shall fay he is sin
cere and honest, whose life does not prove it,
he makes himfelf a liar.—Every one knows
his own heart, whether it be sincere, or hy
pycritical and deceitful—and every man must
be adjudged by bis own works. " Let us not
therefore, judge one another any more : but
judge this rather, that no man put a stum
bling block, or an occafibn to fall, in his
brother's way." " Ye have heard that it
hath been said, thou shalt love thy neighbor,
and hate thine enemy : But I fay unto you,
love your enemies," &c. If then we are for
bidden by our Lord and Master, to hate even
our enemies, how miserable, how condemned
must those be who hate them even that are
not their enemies !—yea, and to whose hearts
the misfortunes of a fellow worm, are appar
ently " Glad tidings of great.joy." —I ilk,
do such deserve the Christian name ?—Do
they not rather carry the name of the Beast
plainly written on their foreheads ?—
But, their hope shall be as the hypocrite's ;
, their trust shall be as a spider's webb. "It
shall not endure." JOB.

FOR THE MIRROUR.
MR. RUSSELL,
If jou injert the following you will oblige ONE
of jour renders.
VERY ufeful is language to mankind, &
we ought to thank God for the power
of speech, but I am well convinced that we
give it credit for much more than we receive
from it—lt is not my design to depreciate
language, but I with to place it in its proper
rank : For one half of mankind fubititute
language for reason and thought ; and who,
were it not for the difference of shape, would
be willing to place a well taught parrot on a
level with the human species.— But a reason
able man, who has a mind to amuse and ed
ify, as well as a body to please and nourish,
may just as well think to support his body by
the fight or smell of food, or to fill himfelf
with hte east wind, as to feed his mind with
the mere language of another —What is lan
guage to the Reality of things ? It is like the
shadow of the Substance: Sometimes, not
half the length ; at others, ten times as long;
sometimes tolerable plain ; at others, wretch
edly blind. I have heard a pious divine enu
merating from his pulpit, the attributes of
God, while many of his audience, for want
of one single stretch of their own thought,
received as much of their dinner from his
breath, as of their knowledge from his dis
course ; yet believed that their learned divine
had not only been able to comprehend for
himfelf the Incomprehensible Deity, but had
likewise clearly described to their understand
ings his Essence and Charader : And having
made up to themselves a hasty image, partly
of brass, and partly of miry clay, dressed in
robes of flowing words, with as much of the
artillery of founds and phrases as each one
could bear, have gone forth to battle, attack
ing, confuting, accusing, judging, trying &
condemning all Who did not use the fame
phrases ; tiding with such as used them, tho'
their thoughts were different, or tho' they
had none at all, by the thunder of their voic
es, amid the cloud of their ignorance, flafli
ing with passion and anger, teaching the way
of the Lord, Whofeway is past finding out —-A
mighty battle of words !—This is my opin
ion of Religious disputes—And to prove it
well founded, let me request all your readers
carefully to examine, not themselves, for then
I should certainly be condemned—but let
them examine each one his neighbor—and I
am confident, if they will but take care to
examine thoroughly, that my opinion must
meet with universal assent and approbation.
