POETRY.
From the Christian Watchman.
THE CHRISTIANS REPOSE.


o, where should the soul of the Christian repose.
When the dark waves Of trouble are dashing a.
round ?
Where seek for shelter to hide from his woess
And where should his hope Of deliv'-ance be
found
Can the joys of the world-can the pleasures o.
sense,
To his withdrawing bosom extend relief?
0, no they are trifes, which cannot dispense
To the soul of the mourner solace for grief.
Yet whence is that comfort which breaks on his
soul?
The shadows Of darkness before il have flown
No more the rude waves of Adversely roll,
For the tempest is still'd by his Saviour alone.
The rainbow of hope now appears to his view,
And Faith, as she points to the heart-cheering
sign,
Bids his spirit believe that the witness" is true,
And the rags which illumine his pathway, diraae
o, blest be the spirit which never shall stray
From the garden of grace to worldly abode
The light of Religion shall beam on her way.
A beacon of glory to lead 70 her God.

The Glasgow Astronomical Society has procur-
ed Solar hIiscroscope from celebrated opti-
cian the largest that optician has ever construct
ed. 1t is exhibited to most advantage betwixt
IL and o'clock, during which hours the sun is in
the best position for showing it. The first trial of
this instrument disclosed some wonderful phe
nomena-hundreds of insects were discovered de-
yourng the body Of gnat, and scores had lived
luxuriously for several months on the leg of a
moth These animalcula were magnified so as
TO appear nine inches long, their actual size be-
ing somewhat less than the fourteen hundredth
part Of an nch.-The mineral king dom afforded
another display of brilliant objects their chrys-
talizstions, and the splendor ofther coloring ex-
coed any thing the most lively imaginations can
conceive.
The Comet.-Comets compass the whole
earth in "a hours, and are never of very long ap
pearance. The comet the longest continuance
was in the time of Nero. and was visible for i
months. II is supposed by astronomers that il
was brilliant comet styled the star in the east
which guided the wise men to the blessed babe
Of Bethlehem True it is that the appearance o
these eccentric visitors have always preceded
some remarkable event.

The attorney Leroy, for Mr. Piger, OBJ
served, that from the instruction OF the
three judges, and the examination OF SIX
ty witnesses, the truth had just begun to

no, been for the Vaccinations Of Laborde

Private accounts from Calcutta OF the
4th inst. mention that very great Change
had rather unexpectedly taken place in
the money market. Company's six percent
paper, which ten days before bore dis
count Of u per cent, had fallen 10 2t per
cent. and the Bazaar rate Of interests
had kept pace with this decline, being then
eight per cent per annum on deposit
of government paper, or equal to de-
crease of Ioper cent in as many days. II
was difficult to account satisfactorily for
so rapid change, though OF the many
reasons which may have operated TO effect
it, the principal are said to be the large
imporations ofbullion from China and Eu-
rope, the opening Of the bank for discount
ing. and the stagnation in the cotton mar
ket. in the upper provinces.
II is further stated that the crop of cot
ton this season is expected to prove very
abundant.
LINEN AND THREAD FROM EErTLEs.
The Irish have recently made some ex-
periments upon the 1os of nettles, for the
manufacture of thread and linen; and the
result is said TO be, that both these articles
are obtained equal, if not superior, to the
thread and linen from flax.

PROSPECTUS

Assisted by several other literary genllcmss
ofMe Protestant Episcopal Church.
IF any apology were necessary for this
1 undertaking, il may be found in the
tact, that there is no publication on snnl-
lar plan, in all that section Of our country
lying south of New York, and but one IN
the whole of the United States. 1t has
been matter of equal surprize and regret,
that the Episcopal Church should be so lar
behind other Christian denominations, III
similar efforts 10 disseminate the principles
of religion and piety. All period like The
present, when the Lord is preparing his
way on earth, by the most remarkable ell
forts of human agency, and the most Woh,
derful operations OF bis providence ana
grace-when we perceive IN every part OF
Christendom, praise-wortby emulation
to share ~ the glorious work OF hlling the
earth with the knowledge OF the only true
God. and his Son Jesus Christ It would
seem criminal for any TO withhold their ey-
ertions, however feeble, in the great enter.
prize OF human happiness and salvation.
The editors have, therefore, felt il their
duty 10 make this humble effort to supply
this acknowledged deficiency on the part
of the church in this section Of the country,
andto bear their share in the common eI.
ertions Of Christians to promote the he
deemer's Kingdom. And having Oh am
ed the services of gentleman, in whose
talents ana principles hey have confidence.
whose time will he wholly devoted to the
superintendent of the work, they feel en-
couraged to solicit the patronage OF the
pubic.
The publication will be conducted un,
der the immediate inspection and con'roi
of the above named editors, who VIII tollh

tended for publication. The prlEcIPss
upon which it will he conducted are nose

SOUTH AMERICA.

The Sketches Of South American Scene
~, habits and manners, are E|ysian pictures
which seduce youthful imaginations from
their home, country, kindred, ano friends,
to dash into peiilous enterprises, and sacri-
fee fame, fortune, and happiness in land
of fairy fiction.
In describing the aowry plains and per-
rennial groves of the South, some writers
forgot to add, that they are are infested
with innumerable musquetoes, serpents,
alligators. and tigers. that some OF the trees
which beautify them cast shade which is
deadly, and bear fruit, which to eat is death.
When they describe their dwellings with
furniture of gold and silver, they neglect
TO mention that they are ahominahly filthy,
over run with veruin, and that but for the
labor of combating against these perseve-
ring enemips, they would be always idle.
We hear that when certain Viceroy en-
tered Lima, the inhabitants literally paved

writer does not add, that those very streets
are almost nightly stained with human blood
by midnight assassination. We are told
OF the very great sublinity of the noun
tains, covered with eternal snow; OF ex-
haustle>s mines of gold and silver, dia-
monds, emeralds, and other precious gems
but we are not reminded at the same time
that this rich and enchanting land j. subject
to earthquakes &-volcanic ernp'ions, which
often annihilate the beauties of nature and
art, and engulph and overthrow cities, and
hurry thousands of human beings beneath
their runs, in IN unexpected moment. :.
America is a country which combines The
extremes of whatever is odious and en-
chanting, rich and poor, pleasing and
dreadful. A ragged Spaniard, collecting
gold d,.st from the earth, 10 purchase his
daily bread, is striking combination of
wealth and poverty, and illustrates the ge-
neral character OF the country.

that there is nothing but the Vaccinations
of Buchoz and his agents-that suppOsing
even a conspiracy, nothing was acted a
gainst the sovereign and could not come
within the law o. the Goth OF April; and the
pleadings were concluded by an appeal 10

Went, and that if there is any one guilty, it
must be Buchez.

of defence in favor of Buchez. In the be-
ginning the lawyer left entirely to his client
TO clear himself of the shameful accusations
brought against him, but not connected with

by the public agen, and the defenders OF

PETERSBURGH, Aug. l3.-The En-
bassy tn the court of Persia is arrived at
lis destination, and has been very lavora-
bly, received.-rhe King frequently in
vites the Members of the Embassy 10
feasis, reviews OF his troops, &c. The
familiarity with which, they are treated is
a deviation from Oriental etiquette, which
requires the RiinOst distance to he kept
between the King and all strangers, AS y ell
as his own subjects, and is AN undoubted
proOfthat the good understanding existing
between the two powers is completely es-
;ablisiied.
When the Embassy arrived at Tabris,
the residence OF The Crown Prince Abbas
Mira, they were invited TO breakfast, at
which they used a table and chairs, u
circumstance considered asa high degree
OF attention and poliieness. They were
also allowed 10 wear swords at an audi
rnce, but were obliged 10 pull off their
boots.
