" TJOW little do I value this ema
ciated body r It is 7 welcome to
return home, if my foul can have the
fame, privilege. Surely some guardian
angel watches my slumbers, and Seizes
the moment when ail my pillions are
asleep, to teach my reason the mod la
cred truths, O that my prejudice, er
rowr and pride would never awake.
If this be sickness, let me be lick, un
til death, for Scarcely do I fink into the
arms of deep, when some unseen power
prefects to me the sublimest vitons.
The last I cannot describe; it furpaff
esmy strength and the power of my
pen.
Could I have written at the infant
of the impression, my lines had been
full of five, they would have warmed
every heart, not with poetic fire ! No !
for the genuine feelings of the foul, at
such entrancing seasons, scorn the aids
of art, and the prison of measured lines.
They burst forth with inspiration, and
delight to be arrayed in the lowing
robes and charming dignity of prose.
Can that foul be mortal, which is
composed of such heaven- wrought ma
terials ? 3.1111 thAt foul die, which can
for a feafoo bid adieu to the senses and
the clay, and bar to Scenes immeasur
ably distant ? No ! " The daft /ball re
turn to its kindred duj? ; but the j/irit
/ball return to God vebo gave it.''
At such moments would I ha # e waft,
ed awifh to be sure of immortality ? No!
I feltm>felf already in actual poffeflion
of eternal being, full of principles of
life, which death can never &ftroy, nor
the grave diminiffi.
Such was my confidence; th, had the
choice been my own, 1 would never
have been reunited to the forfaken mass.
As soon would angels leave their feats
of bliss, their golden harps unstrung,
their bleft society forgot, arid ask for
human bodies to inherit this vile earth
again. But to them how little is this
world ! its pomps, its pleasures and its
nonsense all ! The browns of Monarchs,
and the wealth of worlds, how trifling
in their view !

TO thee, thou King ofKings ! prime
Source of Power!
On Earth beneath, or brighter Worlds

MISCELLANY.
From a wo r kj*ftyubliihed, entitled, "The
' Triumph of Truth," and " Hiftory
and Visions of CLIO,?' ^John
PaulMartln, A. M. M. S. P."
the following elegant extract it made :
But heave; is their bleft abode, and
there will they rejoice to dwell for ever.
That world will never want for songs,
nor God for praise. There shall daily
arrive, from thele lower courts,' after a
triumphal flight 1 from sense and pain,
the fpirita of the just. There dial! che
rubs ever finale, and seraphs ever burn
before the throne of God.
Sha ffimfy argument, shall labile
sophistry and nice-wrought fcepticifm
utyoul the man, and reduce to a level
with the lower creation, the image of
God ? Shall not the foul of the mother
IMMORTALITY of the SOUL.
SIXTH VISION.
In sickness I will rejoice; even with
present pains will be glad. Each pang
will I regard as the beckoning of an
angel ; for as the body retires, the foul
advances, and with one effort more 1
shall be gone.
With a most ardent exertion I Sprang ;
but the body had enchained me. I was
still its # prifoner,and could not burft'the
bands of life. 1 reached net the ceief
tial gaol. 1 fprunghot intb heaven, but
back to earth, and found myfelf awake,
repeating with prodigious energy, " let
others boafl that they are brutes, 1 glory
that I'm a MAN. Let others wij» for
eternal.fap, : l Jhall be forever awake.
Let others ^afle their golden hoars in pro
cuing that God is falfc; 1 fed something
Within Ohich proves that his fjord is true.
Though others consign foul andfoay to the
deft, the clods of the •valley cannot cover
myJoul. No ! legions of Angels can't con
fine me to the grave. My body was de
fgned for the cufl; but my foul will in
herit the world of fouls ! alas! what is
LIFE, IF WE LIVE NOT FOR EVER !''
