RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
From the Ne,uburyport Herald.
LETTER FROM INDIA.

1t was with no ordinary feelings, that
we on Monday received the Interesting
intelligence communicated below. Be-
iieying as we do that all Christians rejoice
in the growing empire of the Redeemer,
we conceive all information relating to the
interest Of Christ's kingdom, its progress
and enlargement, must be highly crafty
ing to the Christian Public. Among ALI
the institutions to which this eveniful pc
Rod has given rise, no one we believe
has excited deeper interest with almost
all classes of citizens, than those for the
melioration Of the moral condition Of sea-
men. 1t has long been considered de-
sirable by the friends of missions, that
missionaries especially, who go to the
heather, should exert themselves for the
moral good of those with whom they sail /;
and thus recompense the toll and labour
of the hardy mariners, by pointing them
to the " Lamb of God, who taketh away
the sins of the world" We believe that
this course Of conduct has heretofore been
attended with divine blessing and that
multitudes, who but for missionaries,
would have persisted in ignorance and
sin, have become through their instru-
mentality, the humble disciples of Jesus.
But in no instance whatever do We recol-
lect that sach blessed effects have accom-
panied these exertions, as those commune
Gated in the following letter. Our rea-
ders may rely upon the Information as
strictly true.
Copy of letter from a .yoasng man on
board the ship Independence, to his
friend in Ne,uburyport, dated
CALCUTTA, April 80, 1918.
would now with my former freedom
write YOU, especially as have something
interesting 10 communicate. The Mis-
sionaries* who came out with us, appear

with virtuous or with vicious desire, will
gradually sink, and Thea must stop for
ever. We rise from our neditatious with
hearts softened and subdued, and we re.
turn into life as into shadcwy scene
where we have "disqaietcd oursetreS in
UGin.''
Yet few years, we think, and all that
now bless, or all that now convulse hui
manity, will also have perished: The
mightiest pageantry of life will pass--the
Iondest notes Of triumph or Of conquest
will be silent in the grave 1.-THE wicked,
wherever active, will cease from troub-
ling" and the weary, wherever suffering,
4" will be at rest" Under an impression
SO profound, We feel our hearts better.
The cares, the animosities, the hatreds,
which society may have engendered, sink,
unperceived, from our bosoms. To the
general desoiation of nature, we feel the
littleness of our passions We look for
ward to the kindred evening which time
must bring to all !; We anticipate the graves
Of those we hate and of those we love.
Every unkind passion falls with the leaves
that fall around US ; aud we return slowly
TO our homes, and to the society which
surrounds US, with the wish only to en-
Tighten or bless them.
There is an eUen-tide in human life,
season when the eye becomes dim, and
the strength decays, and when the winter
ofage begins to shed, upon the human head,
IFS prophetic snow. It is the season of
life to which the present is most anala-
gous; and much it becomes, and much it
would profit you, my elder brethren, to
mark the instructions which the season
brings. The spring and the summer of
your days are gone, and with them not
only the joys they knew, but many of the
friends who gave them. You have enter
ed upon the autumn of your being and,
Whatever may have been the profasioH of
your spring, or the warm intemperauce of
your summer, there is yet season of still
ness and solitude which the benefcence of
Heaven affords you, in which you may
mediate upon the past and the future, and
prepare yourselves for the mighty change
which you are soon to undergo.
In the long retrospect of your journey,
you have seen every day the shades OF the
evening fall, and every year the clouds OF
winter gather. But you have seen also,
every succeeding day, the morning arise in
| its brightness, and 10 every succeeding
year spring return to renovate the winter
Of nature. 1t is now you may understand
the magnificent language of Heaven. 1t
/ mineIes its voice with that OF revelation
it summons you in these hours, when the
leaves fall and the winter is gathering, TO
that evening study which the mercy of
Heaven has provided in the book of saliva
lion: aud while the shadowy valley opens,
which leads TO the abode of death, it
speaks Of that hand which can comfort and
can save, and which can conduct to those
I" green pastures and those still waters
where there is an eternal spring for the
children of God.
Elizabeth-Town gazette. [volume] (Elizabeth-Town, N.J.) 1818-1821, 1818-10-27

Thus is he made to enter upon the theatre
of life, with reputation impossible for
him TO sustain. He is like trader, who
attracts, and disappoints, by exhibiting
to view the whole Of bis goods in the shop
window. His stores are all seen at once.
They dazzle at first view, and expectation
stands tip-toe. 10 unfounded expecta-
ton disappointment succeeds Of course,
and he sinks as far below bis true level
perhaps, as these advenfitious circumstan-
ces had raised him above il. Better, far
better had it been for him, II his coat had
been cut to his cloth.
One should beware Of taking upon cred-
it greater amount, not only of money but
Of reputation, than one will be able TO
make good. In this last respect, as well
as the other, it is dangerous experiment
for young man to pass himself for more
than he is worth.
On the contrary, there is no less truth
than beauty in the following lines of the
poet.
s" I have learn'd TO fear
The blossom that is early, and its leaves,
Too soon exposed to the chilling spring.
But much hope fem the more modest bud,
That hides its head, and gathers secret strength,
Scarce blown at midsummer

DIR. w. JUDKINS'S
Patent Specific Ointment

This efficacious medicine has been found
by the experience of a large number of
persons, to be safe and certain remedy
for the following obstinate diseases, some
of which have SO long baifled the skill of
medical science.
LIST. White swelHngs of every descrip-
tion. I'd. Sore legs and ulcers of long
standing. Sd. Schirrus OF glandular tll-
mours-particularly those hardened tu.
mours in women's breasts, which often
times terminate in liberated cancers. 4th.
Fellons, or what some people know by the
name Of catarrhs, of every description.
9Th. Rheumatic pains Of the joints. 9th.
Sprains OF bruises of every description,
or ia whatever part situate. 9TH. letters
Of all kinds in this complaint, the patient,
10 applying the ointment, must keep the
part out of water.
1t is also one of the best remedies for
burns and scalds. 1t eases the pain and
draws the fire out in a short time.
Cor inflamed women's breasts, and
glandular swellings, it is superior to any
medicine yet known TO the medical tacul-
ty. 1t is much safer than mercurial ap-
plications, Gas it does not contain the
smallest atom of any preparation OF that
mineral, because it does not lay the pa
tent liable to injury from exposure to
cold.
THE above Medicine may be had at the
store of S. P. WOODWARD, nearly

CULLEN'S
LIQUID Magnesia.

YE ME transparent Solution oil Magne-
sia, is presented to the public, as the
most eligible mode of exhibiting Magne-
sia; as it possesses the virtues Of that
medicine in all eminent degree-is ex-
hemeIy palatabIe; acts more speedily
2with greater certainty, and does not form
eoncretions in the bowels, as Messrs.
Brande and Monroe have discovered, are
produced, by the use of solid Magnesia;
II combines with its antacid and aperient
principles, the very desirable property Of
composing the stomach, and allaying the
most excessive vomiting; also, carrying
off bile and offensive matter; from hence
hay be inferred its great efficacy 10 the
sumner complaints of children, females,
Etc. &c.
ca Headache, giddiness, thirst, weakness
and oppression, difficulty of breathing,
palpitation and nervous complaints, Hatu-
lence, heartburn, piles, and many Of the
most formidable diseases, almost invaria-
bly, owe their origin TO costiveness. To
remedy this indolent state of the bowels,
the Solution of Magnesia is proposed, (af-
{fF COtISlutIdUiC CApCiiCuSCj 40 db ChOOtu
Al laxative, and most agreeable drink.
To persons of bilious habits, it is re-
commended as an excellent corrector of
bile and acidity-acts as gentle aperient,
Establishes permanent and temperate
state of the bowels, restoring appetite and
promoting digestion.
A discretionary use of this agreeable
beverage, enables persons of every age,
sex, and constitution, to keep their bowels
moderate, without the use of salts or
drastic purges, (hitherto used,) which
never fail to confirm the costive habits
they were intended TO remove, and to dis
order for life the organs of digestion.
In weak stomachs, uric and other acids
are evolved; causing gravel, govt, stiff
ness and concretions of the joints this
Solution will often cure, and always pal
late these affecting complaints. Indi
gestion and other disorders of the system,
frequently proceed from an acidulous state
Of the stomach, and children are psrticu-
larry subject to this depraved condition Of
thai organ, in consequence of their exist
ing almost exclusively on milk and vege-
table diet; small quantity Of the Solu
ton, will 10 a short time neutralize the
existing acid, and if used for some time,
viii prevent the formation of any new acid.

The scandalous act of piracy committed

The convention OF 1909, between the U.
States and Spain. having been ratified by
the President, with the advice and consent
of the senate, some time after it was con-
ciuded, aud lately ratified by the king OF
Spain, will, it is understood, be considered
as entirely complete, when an exchange OF
ratifcations takes place between the two
governments. This, we learn, has been
delayed by negotiation lately on foot be-
tween TIE Spanish minister at this place
and the secretary of state, comprehending
all the remaining points at issue between
the two governments, the convention in
question providing for the adjustment of a
small portion only of the matters in con-

cALyEZToWN PIRATES.

Il is stated in late New-Orleans paper
that the schooners Hector and Fish, bound
from New Orleans to Campeachy, " have
been captured by eruizers belonging to the
piratcal establishment at Galveztown.-
The crew of the Hector have not been
heard of since their capture, but The cap
tain and three men OF the Fish, were put
on shore near Campeachy, and the pirate
informed the governor that they had been
smuggling on the coast, in consequence OF
which they were put in prison, where they
remain. II is stated that profitable trade
which had been carried on between New
Orleans and Tampico, Campeachy, and o.
ther ports on the Spanish Maine, has en-
tirely ceased in consequence OF the depre-
dations of those pirates, and that many run
away slaves have found shelter at Galvez-
