Look around amongst thc,e who were once
your sclool-mates and you will soon be convn-
ced that no age or condition in life, is exempt
from the stroke of death How many of these
are now, alas no more Though your veins
may be filled with blood, and your bones with
marrow; though the vigour of your constitution
may laugh at the ravages Of disease. yet the hand
Of sickness can soon lay you low! One blast OF
ITS pestiferous influence, can rob you OF your
strength; and the bloom of health which now
adorns your cheek, would soon give way to the
|sallow paleness of the aged Invalid. You are
equally insecure with those more advanced III
life; It's true the old must go; but you may, and
how soon you know not. Remember then, that
time is fastening away-every day brings yot
nearer to its conclusion, and the greatest marx Of
wisdom is to prepare for death.
We are destined for the enjoyment ofpnrel
and more elevated happiness than this earth car
bestow. We are assured from the highest au
lthority, that after having endured the necessary
refinement, and practised the great duties OF re
|ligion, we shall be translated TO that eternally
glorious and happy Kingdom, which is prepared
for the righteous We shall lay aside the pains
to which the imperfections of human nature ren
der us liable, and assume new and far more dig

Former accounts led us to believe,
that the Ottoman government was max

land, to renew their attempts TO subju-
gate the Greeks. We are glad to find,
by accounts from Sores of the Sd of
May, that the latter had anticipated the
barbarians, by attacking column of
their troops, that were marching to
salonichi, aud which they are said TO
have completely defeated. 1t was also
reported that the Greeks had obtained
