REFLECTIONS ON THE NEW
WEAR

A happy New Year, is in my opinion, the
best and most sensible part of what is styled
{ the Compliments Of the Season but let
us consider what is included in the senti-
ment, as common in the mouths of all, a
bout this time or, in other words, what
is most likely to make New Year happy
one And this am certain of, that no year,
nor indeed the smallest portion of time, can
be accounted truly happy without reflection;
for as DR. Young justly observes,
"a soul without reflection, like pile
"Without inhabtant to ruin runs
Now, then, what are the reflections that
naturally arise at the beginning of New
YearP
|, One year more is added to the mum
Der we have already lived, and we have
approsened one year nearer to eternity !!
.. hat is no trifiing reflection; and should
put US on the inquiry, how we have spent
the past year, aud excite US to bless the
GREAT AUTHOR Of our being, for the
mercies and favors which he granted to Us
through that period, ard humbly suppicate
the continuance of them thro' thu ensuing
year.
Q. Serious reflection on the sins and fol
HES of the past year which should incul-
cate the reasona bleness and necessity of
inploring pardon from GOD, and grace
and strength to enable US to love ard serve
him better for the time to come.
g. The great uncertainty of living to see
the end of the New Year, or even another
day, should incline the youngest part of us
10 mediate on our latter end, and make us
concerned to prepare for it without de-
lay,
We were not sent into this world mere
~ to see and to be seen to admire, or be
admired to love, or be loved; to eat
drink, sleep, and to rise up to luxury te
amuse, or to be amused In short, we
were created, las we are solemnly assured
by divine inspiration to glorify our MAX
Err while upon earth and enjoy him for
ever In Heaven, when time shall be nc
more.
This, then being the grand and impor
tant end of our existence, let us one anc
all, whether male or female, old or young
yieh or poor, resolve and endeavor SO t.
spend every succeeding day, week, month
and year, as rational accountable creatures
who must, ere long stand before the dread
tribunal of the JUDGE OF ALL, who
cannot be deceived, nor will be Knocked
and who will re ward every one according
to the deeds done in the body, whether
good or evil.

Written in COMMUNICATION Of the
BIRTHDAY OF OUR SAVIOUR,
RI one ofthe Editors Of the baltimore
Telegraph.
Henceforth let pride and anger cease,
How sacred is the morn
This IS the day the PRINCE OF PEACE
The LoRD OF LIFE was born.
Bright Seraphs watch'd the rising ray
And shouted from the skies,
Behold SAVIOUR s born to-day
The Babe in Bethlehem les
The slumb'ring Shepherds heard the scund'
II 6Il'dther hearts with JOY;
Directed by STAR they found
And hail'd the Heavily Boy.
Nolordy palace rear'd its head,
TO cheer them on their ways
Beneath amanger's humble shed
The slumb'ring SAVIOUR lay.
But o, upon that infant face
Appears a smile oflove!
Sure tokens Of Almighty grace
And blessings from above.
That infant smile was 50 serene,
Well might old Simeon cry,

Now let thy servant die.

Merchant Tailor, Baltimore, of whom he
receives the earliest change of fashion, as
sures the gentlemen and ladies of this part
of the country, that it is nc longer necessa
ry for them to resort to any Seaport Town
to have their clothes made in the neatest
fashion and in the best manner-And from
the very long experience he has had in
making clothes for the Friends and other
plain people, he is confident if they would
favor him with call, that they would be
much pleased with his work.
