DIVINE GOODNESS.

What beautiful commentary on the

Being, is seen in the variety of animate
creation around US. How admirably
are the gifts of the brute creation ADAPT
ed to their necessities! instinct. filling
up the void of reason, and prompting
them to industry, or sagacity, or cour-
age, or kindness, as their relative stu
ations require. To man, his gifts are
more various, and though not always
equal in number, seldom different in the
aggregate amount. He who is born
blind, is furnished frequently with an
astonishing memory. We know young
man thus situated, who is an admirable
grammarian, and an excellent Greek
and Latin scholar. The forms of letters
he learned by feeling the tomb-stones
of his own village graveyard, and the
powers of his mind, assisted by the fac
ulty of hearing, accomplished the rest.
We have just read of another born blind,
who in works Of mechanism is inferior TO
few; and who has accomplished the
manufacture of many articles in less
time than any one who has ever con-
tended with him could accomplish it.
Instances of persons deaf and dumb dis
playing the most surprising rapidity of
conception. and brightness of intellect,
are numberless. So it is throughout.

an American captain prisoner. AfiAr
some general conversation, he asked
the captain, "what he thought the
Americans would do with him il they
caught him. The captain declined It
hrst giving an answer; but upon being
repeatedly urged, he said, " Why sir, If
must answer your question, you NUT
excuse my telling you the plain truth;

things which belong to prosperity are
to be wished, but the good things that
belong to adversely are to be admired
Certainly, if miracles be the command
over nature, they appear most in adver-

than the other much too high for a
heathen,) 1T is true greatness to have
in one the frailty of man, and the Sc
curity of GoD.' This would have
done betterin poesy, where transcenden-
cies are more allowed; and the poets.
indeed, have been busy with it !; for
it is in effect the thing which is figured

WON A N.

In infancy, FROM woman's breast,
We draw the food by nature given
She lulls our childish pangs to rest,
And cheers US as a beam from heaven,
When woman smiles, she has the power
10 heal our grief, to calm our fears
should sickness wound-should fortune low'r.
She shares our sorrows: dries our tears.
And she can soothe the cares of age,
AS rolls times Throwing course along:
Can cheer us with the classic page,
Or charm us with the magic song;
When stretched upon the bed of death.
Departed nature struggling lies;
AT that dread pause-when the next breath
May watt our spirit to the skies.
When the soul views the narrow verge,
Close on the confines of the grave,
And now it longs its flight to urge,
Now wishes for an arm to save:
3 mho CHEERS that dreary scene of woe?
" no speaks of peace, and joy, and love?
who wipes the tear drops as thew flow
lis woman, sent from heaven above,
lis she receives our parting sigh;
lis she who hears our latest breath.
Ills she who seals the closing eve.
And whispers peace and hope in death
And when the mournfui scene is mast.
Ills woman weeps upon our bier,
Silent, yet long, her sorrows last,
Unseen she sheds affections lear.
On earth she is the truest friend,
That is to man in mercy given,
Ana when this fieeting life shall end,
She'll live for purer joys in heaven.
On, woman woman! thou vast made.
Like heavens own pure and lonely light.
10 cheer life's dark and desert shade.
And guide mans erring footsteps right.
