In the several relations she sustained in life,
she exhibited those amiable and endearine
traits OF character which are worthy TO be had
IN everlasting remembrance. Those who knew
her best can best testify TO her worth. She
was prudent and affectionate wife, a kind
and tender parent, faithful friend, and a de-
vout and humble Chrrtian. For many years
she was professor Of religion, and it is believ-
ed was enabled, by the grace of God, so to
1--we, as that others who witnessed her example
took " knowledge of her that she had been
with Jesus" She was friend to Christ. and
consequently friend TO that heneyolepce
which not only looks with compassion upon
objects OF charity at hand, but extends lis kind
regards to all the miserable abodes of this be-
nigAted world.-During her last sickness,
she was favoured with the full possession of
her reason, endured with patience and resig-
nation the distresses of the body, conversed
mpeh with her friends on the subject of relig-
ION, and was sustained and comforted by that
Almighty Saviour in whom she put her trust.
For many days before her departure, all fear
OF death was taken away and she had ar
dent desires to leave this state of imperfection
and enter on state of perfect holiness, when
she could behold the glory of Christ without
veil, and enjoy his presence without inter-
ruption.

'THE Members Of the WoE-

N cEsTER ASSOCIATIONS OF MINISTER'S
have examined with care the .4gadover Selsc-
non, socalled, Of Psalms and Hymns for Social
ana PT1uate Worship; and cordially unite in
recommending it to the use of Families and
churches, with whom our judgment may avail.
The Selection is amply copious, though Of
more limited extent than many others: II IS
furnished from great number of admired au-
thors; and the Compiler has succeeded IN EN-
pracing variety of topicis and of metres as
extensive as the exigences of publick instruc-
uon require. 1t seems to have been an object
OF solIcltude with him to render the work as
strictly devotional as may be, by giving the
form OF invocation, where slight verbal changes
will suffice to this end, to pieces that before
were merely didactic-a point which has been
hitherto not regarded as 1t deserves.--The
principle Of the arrangement, which is accord
ing to the natural succession of topcks, is near
ly original, and eminently judicious: 1t is de-
noted by running caption over the page, and
IS followed. out with scrupulous exactness.-
The reader is thus greatly assisted in the use
OF the volume, and in . great measure spared
the trouble of recurrence to the Index.
We regard this Volume, not only as
choice Selection of Devotional Poetry, but
as answering to our idea of what such work
should be, and what the advanced state both
OF correct taste and unoorrupt Christianity a.
mong us require; and persuaded that it is cal
culated IN an eminent degree to promote both,
we are happy to aid its more extensive diffu-
sion. A. BANCROFT. .E1oderator.

For the Massachusetts, Spy1

MIR. Editor
We noticed in your paper of tire Goth of
Oct. s tition to the Legislature of this State
signed by Robert B. Thomas, ESQ. and Others
committee of the Petitioners praying for a
confirmation of their doings in Precinct meet
ing, &c. Some of the statements in that Pc
titlon are calculated, Intentionally, we hope)
to make wrong impression on the publick
mind which Impression we beg leave TO re-
move. We allude 10 what is said respecting
the Intervention of sectarians relative to the
Parochlal affairs of the Petitioners. Ii should
be known that but two Societies have ever
existed in the town of West Boylston, viz the
congregational and Baptist. If the pubhcl1
then are to gather the meaning of the Peti-
TONERS from their language, it would be very
natural to infer, that by the terms "Sectaran
ooc'et'eS," (as they are pleased to call them
they referred to the Baptist Society; and
consequently, when they afterwards come to
speak OF the Intervention of Sectarians.
that they alluded TO the same persons, and
that the Baptist Society had interfered in
their Parochial affairs, and even voted against
their raising monies to pay the stipulated sal
airy OF their minister-than which, nothing
can be more untrue. No one, it is presumed,
who reads the Petition, and is ignorant of facts,
can avoid the above conclusion and vet.
scores of witnesses can be produced, and we
believe, from some circumlocutive sentences
in the Petition, from the Petitioners themselves.
that the Baptist Society have made it their in
variable rule, in all the Parochia affairs of the
other Society, either TO remain neutral, or re-
tire /; much less did they ever vote against
raising monies to pay their minister his salary.
If 1t be replied, that by mentioning the g in
PREVENTION Of Sectarians,' they referred to
their opponents in their own Society. or to
individuals not belonging to either Society,
let them explain themselves, at least so far as
shall not eliminate the innocent in the pub
lick mind; and not attribute the C troubles
and Inconvenience" that have grown out of
their own mistakes and divisions, to their
neighbours.
