Iameuts every time the bell tolls the mise

He celebrates the praise Of learning and
wishes public speakers had all the powers

pouring of the Spirit, aud the on'soings
of God 10 his sanctuary, aud then how his
soul would be refreshed! what comtorta-
Bile Christian would he be then! Tell this
son OF the morning that there are school
masters waiting to educate the poor, tutors
longing 10 instruct youth, and young men
burning with vehement passion for leafn-
ing and oratory tell him that The graft
tude of widows, the hymns OF orphans,
and the blessings of numbers ready e
perish, are the presence OF God 10 ms

themselves like tide into his congrega-
ton, and wait only for little Of his mo-
ney to pay for cutting canal. See how
thunderslruck he is! His solemn face be-
comes lank and black; he suspects he has
been too liberal already his generosity

will save his own elect; God is never al

is strictly and literally true. There have
been thousands of poor people beside ycl

During the administration Of Sir Rob-
ert Walpole, the transportation Of convicts
TO this country proved very great griev-
auce. DR.. Franklin wrote TO the Minis
ter the thanks of the colonis,s for the
maternal care Of Britain to the country,
SO strongly manifested in this instance )
and as satisfactory proof of American
gratitude, sent him collection of rattie-
snakes, which he advised him to have in-
'roduced into his majesty's gardens at
Kew, in order that they might propagate
and iucrease-assuring him that they
would be as beneficial to his majesty's
English donlinions as the British convicts
we're to America.
