EDWARD DRINKER.

Edward Drinker was born in a cottage, IN
1880, on the spot where the city of Philaticl-
phia now stands, which was inhabited at til,
time of his birth by Indians, few Swedes,
and IIollaadcrs.-He often talked of pick
ing blachbcrries and catching aild rabbit.
where this populous city is now seated. He
remembered William Penn arriving there
the second time, and used to Point ont the
spot where the cabin stood in which Air.
Penn and his friends were accommodated on
their arrival.
The life ofths aged citizen is marked with
circumstances which never befcl any other
man for he SAW greater events than any man,
at least since the patriarchs. He saw the
same spot of earth i'll the course of his own
life covered with wood, and bushes the re-
ceptacles of wild beasts and birds of prey.
afterwards became the seat Of IL great city,
not only the first in wealth and arts in
America, but equally by few in Europe: he
saw great and regular streets where he had
often pursued hares and wild rabbits; he
saw hne churches rise up moiasses where
he used to hear nothing but the cloaking of
frogs; great wharves and warehouses where
he had 50 often seen the Indian savages draw
their fish from the river; and that river af-
terwards full of great ships from all parts
of the world, upon which in his youth he had
seen nothing bigger than a canoe and, on
the same spot where he had often gathered
blackberries, he SAW their magnificent city

BLOW light, chou balmy air,
My lady's couch above;
Blow lightly there, &c winds, and spare
The slunlbcrs Of my love.
Let no rude blast be found
10 mar her gentle sleep;
But all around, a dreamy sound,
And drowsy murmur creep.
o hy! thou balmy AR,
And by her couch remain;
Go blend thee with her breath, and bear
It's balm TO me again.
But lightly go, and gently blow;
Blow softly as my strain,
Blow gentle, do not break
The still ness of her sleep;
would not make my love awake,
Nor raise those lids to weep
ye winds that borne in happier hour,
May wanton rs you will,
lfround the bowerye have the power,
To creep and murmur still,
olightly SO, and gentle blow,
And let her slumbcr still.

MHTrErll,Lp,s ORATORY.

Mr.. Whitcfcld was one day preaching il
Boston, on the wonders OF creation, proNi-

And my revcnging tuiy cease

The whole congregation instantly arose,
and poured forth the sacred song, in which
they were noblv seconded bs the scientific and
respected SIR. --- on the full organ, in
a style OF pous grandeur, and heartfelt de-
