pearl in which TO dwell what streams of celestial

PULPIT ELOQUENCE.

Close Of an address to Sunday Schools, by the
Rev. Thomas Raflles, of Liverpool, England.
.'Can we estimate the value of single, an i'm
mortal soul, deathIess being BY what standard
will you calculate it with whet object will you
compare it Conceive of every atom in the compo-
suon OF the universe gem. Could you make the
calculation as many times as there atoms, and
tell US the mighty sum, it would fall literally and
truly it would fall convey to any adequate idea
|of the value and importance of single soul for
when all this wealth expended in the pursuit OF
happiness, the spirit would be still in the dawn
and infancy Of its existence, painting for felicity
| it could not purchase. Will you then attempt the
calculation, and tell US the amount? Before you
pronounce the mighty sum-pause. Have you
considered The duration of eternity If you have
mot, adiure you ponder ii we'll ere you form your
estimate of the work. The abyss at whose brink
| we shudder; and the ocean in whose immensely
but eternity! what adyenturer ever stretched his
pnions abroad on that abyss, and returned to the
shore of time with tdngs of the opposite coast
I'Ts gulf that has no bottom; ocean whose rude
| blows ever roll and never find a stand Myriads
of myrads of ages, heaped up till fancy fails and
numbers are exhausted, leave the boundless waste
of duration UNEMPLOYED. They have deduced not an
atom from eternity. these myrads, that spirit
whose worth you are TO calculate must inherit,
whilst EACH it rolls, adds to its capacity of happi
ness woe, till its of felicity or pain is ex
qusite as the periods of its duration are eternal.

ELECT TED POETRY.
RELIGION.

Oh! wide they wander from the path of truth,
Who paint Religion with brow of gloom
Her step is buoyant with unfading youth,
Her features radiant with immortal bloom.
In life's gay morning, when the crimson tide,
OF pleasure dances thro' each burning vein;
She leads with guardian care her charge aside,
From the broad passage oil undying pain.
And when the Geetng joys of time are past,
And dark dependence on the spirit preys,
She bids with holy hope, the sufferer cast,
To brighter regions his conidins gaze.
From vulgar joys, from low debasing cares,
lis hers alone the sinking soul to save !;
For her its sweetest smile creation wears,
For her no horrors has the yawning grave.
No, should this scene in headlong ruin close,
Each shattered plane from its orbit move;
She would not tremble, for full well she knows
The arm is near her of UNBouNDED LOVE.
American watchman and Delaware advertiser. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1822-1828, 1822-04-30
SIR FRANCIS BURDETT.

One day, some two or three years ago, he private
y asked one of his servant maids the cause of her
not dressing herself as neatly and genteely as her
female companions were in use to do, since their
wages were the same The modest girl blushingly
to support with that part of the wages which she
could spare. He asked why the parish to which
she belonged did not support her? The girl an
swered that she would allow her mother to be
supported while she was able to work; for as her
mother had taken of her whilst she was young,
it was her duty now to take fher aged mother
Sir Francis, being struck with the answer inquired
where the mother 'esded; and being in formed of
the place (Which was at considerable distance from
London) he rode to the same, dismounted from his
horse, entered the hovel, and found, on conversnr
with the mother, that the daughters reports were
true; and upon further inquiry he found that the
family had been in respectable circumstances until
the late husband and the steward "a sharksh county
attorney had quarreled who in revenge, ruined the
family. Sir Francis, OH his return home, sent pri-.
vaely for the girl; and after appauding her for her
virtue, told her that in future, he would take care of
her mother, but to be sure to dress afterwards as
neatly as her fellow servants. He then desired her
to lei him know how much of her wages she had
lexpended in supporting her mother, since she had
entered into his service; and upon being informed
thereof, he put into her hands bank stock tic.
ket to that amount assuring her, If she continued
as she had, he would keep her in his remembrance
But, although these matters where scarcely trans
lpred between the psrtes and although the donor
wished them concealed, the genuine overflow of
gratitude the part Of these poor but virtuous wo.
linen soon made the facts public.

THE TRUE VALUE OF LIFE

Is sometimes estimated, when its best fed oT
ever-et attend then to the muse, who celebrates it
appropriate strains
All when did Wisdom covet length of days,
Or seek ITS bliss in pleasure, wealth, or praisel
No;-Wisdom views with an Indifferent eye,
All finite Joys--al blessings born to die!
The Som, Oh earth, is an immortal guest,
Compelled to staTve at unreal feast;
spark which upward tends by Natures force;
stream diverted from its parent source;
drop discovered from the boundless sea;
moment parted from Eternity;
pilgrim parting for the rest to come;
An exile anxious for its native nome.
