The apparent happiness of this poor
man' blessing God for his barley bread,
and possessing a hopg of salvation by the
Redeemer, with a multitude
of these reflections; and when I Contrast
ed it with the superb, magnificent and
gay things 1 had seen in London, they
shrank into nothing. Hitherto I had sup
posed that the protestants of the present
flay were a different kind of people fsom
those who laid down their life* in Smith
field ; but I now saw that I had not been
acquainted with protestants of the right
kinch and that true Christians are hidden
from the world; and those words of John
occurred to* my mind, ** The world know
. thusnot, because it knew him not."

Friday, 9th March, 1810.
How was I surprised and delighted! I
ran a little further, and falling on my
knees, thrfnked God that I had found a
Christian. This short thanksgiving had
no resemblance to a string of prayers, hur
ried over and repeated by number. I ear
nestly desired a more intimate acquaint
ance with this poor, rich man. Ye sons
and daughters of riot and dissipation, if ye
delight io power, affluence and grandeur,
behold in this hedger and ditcher, an an
gel «in disguise ; one, as much cvperiour to
thousand) whom an undiscerning world
dignifies with the titles of august and migh
ty, as those earthly gods are to thejnsect
they crush beneath their feet. Alas! how
will they bear tile dreadful change that
in one year, or day, or hour, may take
place; when such as he shall be comfort
ed in the presence of the high and lofty
one who inhabiteth eternity, and made
companions of, and placed upon a level
with myriads of angels, while they shall
open their eyes in the regions of despair !
They think to quench the flames of hell
by disbelieving their reality; nor will they
be convinced of their errour till they have
full and feeling evidence. Well! they
must wait a very little while and every
scruple will be removed, and no place left
for doubt.
It was about noon, when, ns I whs wall
ing in the wilderness, meditating upon di
’ vine subjects and praying to be guided in
the w*y that I should go, I at length came
to one of those Mats which are cut in the
hedge that is next the closes, and sat down.
Hearing somebody cough just by me, and
looking through a small aperture, I beheld
Thomas Livingstone, who had been scour
ing the ditch, on the other aide of the hedge-
I knew him, but had never spoken to him
in my life. Having prepared to dine—he*
lifted np his hands before he began his fru
gal repast, and said, I thank thee, O my
God, for.the food which thou hast provided
for the nourishment of this frail body j but
•hove all, I hh ss thee for Jesus Christ,
and that hope of eternal Iffe which thou
hast given me through him !
GO* Ohe of the neatest applications for an
office we have ever seen, was made by a Cour
tier in the reign of« Louis XIV. in the follow
ing' verses, translated from the French. The
reply of bis Majesty is replete with Spartan
brevity. -
So swiftly follow’d by its brother (
That my poor, weak, bewilder’d eyes
To which his majesty answered— nothing.

On reading a dull Pastoral Piece, describing Blue
The fir st verse greets me green and blue,
The next succeeding blue anti green,
Thus green and blue alternate rise,

Whose green is blue and blue is green.
