GENrLEMEN,
You show happy variety Of powers in
you- paper of Saturday. You identify the
tire. writers in the Alexandra Gazette who
have criticised Mr.. Adams's Grafton; land you
find out difference between the ,ignihca-
tions of ''prime minister" and "premier. !"
hope it twill not be thought unbecoming in
me to instruct such able critics as yourselves
by remarking that premier is French word,
now anglicized and used as synonymous to
prime minister. Your objection to foreign
ers fighting under false colors deserves great
attention as one you must be supposed to
know exactly how .foreignsrs ought to act in
this country. You seem to admire the la
comic style, and therefore | shall not trou-

MISCELLANY.
RELIGION

Religion, with all her beautiful and
becoming sanctity, imposes fewer sacri-
fees not only of rational, but of pleas
la,enioyment, than the uncontrolled
dominion of whatever vice. Her SER
vice is not only perfect safety, but per-
feet freedom. She is not so tyrannizing
as Passion, so exacting as,the World, nor
so despotick as Fashion. Let US try the
case by parallel, and: examine it,. not
as affecting our virtues, bat pleasures.
Does Religion forbid the cheerful en-
joyment of life as vigorously as Avarice
forbids them? Does she require such
sacrifice of our ease as. Ambition ?-or
such renunciations of our quiet as Pride !?
Does Devotion murder sleep like Dissi-
patton? Does she destroy health like
Intemperance 2 Does she annihilate for
tune like Gaming? Does she embitteP
life. like. Discorsi eor, abridge it like
Duelling~? Does Religion impose more
vigilance tlian SUSPICION ?-or half as
many notifications as Vanity? Vice
has her martyrs; and the most austere
and ascetick (who mistakes the genius
of Christianity almost as her enemy
never torments himself with such cruel
and causeless. severity, as that with
which. Envy lacerates her unhappy vo-
fairies. Worldly Honour obliges us to
be at the trouble of'resenting injuries
but Religion spares US that inconVeni-
ence3 by commanding US to torgive them,
and By this injunction. consults our hap
piness no less. than our virtue; for the
torment Of constantly hating any, must.
be at least equal to the sin Of it. If this
estimate be fairly made, then is the bal
apce clearly OF the side Of Religion,
even in the article Of pleasure.

The Cot in the Glen.
.ASSlG

OH. 'tis not the star of the evening o'ertopping
With fairy bright radiance the dim azure hill,
The green forests far up the wide valley sloping,
The gleam ofthe lake, or the sound Of the rill,
That tempt me at twilight to wander thus
lonely,
So far from the din and the hustle of men
A magick, a mag<lz, that charms for me only,
Surrounds with.its halo yon cot in, the glen !!
How sweet, far remote from all tumult and
danger,
It were, in this valley, TO pass the long year !,
In friendship and peace hit the latch to the
stranger,
And chase off the anguish, of pale sorrows
tear
To roam out at morn when the young sun is,
shining,
When birds are awake, and.focks bleat in
the pen
And to catch his last beams with my lov'd one,
reclining
Ia the bower, by the side Of yen cot in the.
glen.
Oh. MARY! thou know'st not how often a
pleasure
Ia crowds thy soft image bath giv'n tony
heart!
Like the spirit that wanders beside buried
treasure,
NV steps ever lead to the spot where thou
art.
Oh. soon may the day come, Gf come it VIII
ever,
The brightest and best in futurity's kent
When fate may ordain us no longer to sever,
Sweet girl of my heart, from the coffin the
