MISCELLANY.
From the Christi0n Register.
J,AMAISM.

The worshippers of the Grand La.
ma are supposed to embrace one third
of the human family. Grand Lama
is name given to the Sovereign Pom
tiff; or High Priests of the Thibetian
Tartars. His residence is Patslia,
in Chibet, vast palace on noun
tain near the banks of Baru'npooter.
The grand Lama is worshipped not
only by the Thibetians but by the
various tribes of Tartars who roam
over the vast extent of continent that
stretches from the banks of the VOL
ga TO Corea, on the sea of Japan. 49,
The more remote Tartars are said to
regard him as the Deity himself. and
call him God the everlasting Father
of Heaven.' He is believed to be en-
dowed with all knowledge and virtue,
though he does not condescend to
converse with the greatest Monarch
Of Asia. s He would never deign to
nav the least attention to frail NOR
falls, we're it not to bestoW on them
forgiveness of sin, mercy and conso-
lation. He is rarely if ever seeR by
common worshippers. Those who
annually come thousand miles, with
large presents, return highly graft
Eed if they are permitted even par
tially to see his face.
He is visited by the Kings of Tar
tary with rich gifts for blessing,
which he bestowes by putting his
hand ON the top of their heads.
The residence of the Grand Lama
ia properly an immense pile of tenn
ples covering the top osthe mountains.
Around this there are circles OF
buildings of superb structure, reced-
ding and enlarging as they descend
till they reach the plain. According
to Bentick more than 10000 Lamas
reside in the several circles whico
surround the mountain. =,
every circle is embellished WIN
parallel rows of shady trees. anu IN
habited by Lamas, who dress accord
ing to the rank of their respective CIR
cles.
Those Lamas who reside in the
higher circles, possess great wealth
and sanctity of character, and to
maintain those high pretentions TO
holiness, they seldom appear before
the multitude.
We can hardly imagine a scene
better calculated to overwhelm the
mind Of the supersttious worshipper

The worshippers of the Grand La
ma believe that he never dies, but
when the body he inhabits grows in
firm and decays, the soul forsakes II

This circumstance is considered OF
great Importance as an aid to the in-
PRODUCTION Of Christianity into Thi-
bet and China.
AS Thibet is the only country that
enjoys a free intercourse with China,
and as the Emperor & Court look to
Thibet for their religion, it is thought
that the most practicable method OF
Introducing Christianity into CHINA
will be that Of first introducing II m

How beautiful is creation, and how
wise and benefcient are the works of
Providence. Well may we make this
exclamation at the present season.
when the bright orb of day darts his
glorious rays upon the earth, dispell-
ing the damps and fogs of winter, and
resuscitating animated nature. There
is nothing to which the life of man
has been compared more APPLY than
to that of the seasons; their various
changes of heat and cold; of storm
and calm, resembling his tumultuous
life. At one time his imagination is
dark and gloomy; passion rankles in
his breast; and while he is on the
verge venting its malignant influ-
ence some kindly passion rises in OPP.
position and quells the threatening
storm.
Were we to take the seasons, and
their operations upon nature for our
guide, it would be we'll for us. To
prepare at one time of life for anoth-
er, 40 that when the winter Of old age
should come upon us, we would not
be left desolate. Much preparation is
necessary to make that dreary sea-
son comfortable, when the vanities of
the world cease to please, and when
the most of our former associates are
sIumbering in the dust. Some think
it is not worth while to prepare for
the uncertain event of old age; this
they will regret, should they arrive
at it. At any rate, the practice of
virtue cannot injure them-and it is
equally commendable at all ages.

THE AMERICAN FLAG.
When freedom, from her mountain height,
Uafurl'd her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory therel
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric of the skies,
And striped its pure celestial white
With streakings of the morning light;
Then from his mansion in the sun,
She calPd her eagle bearer down,
And gave into bis mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land!
Majestic monarch of the cloud!
Who rear'st aloft thy regal folm,
To hear the tempest tramPlng loud,
And see the lightning lances driven.
When strides the warriors OF the storrnS
And rolls the thunder drum of heaven!
Child OF the sun to thee tits given
s 70 guard the banner of the free.
TO hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbingers of victory
Flag ofthe brave thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hope and triumph high
When speaks the signaltrumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on,
FIRE vet the lie blood, warm and wet
Has dim d the glist'ning bayonet,}
Each soldler's,eye shall brightly turn
TO where thy meteor glories burn,
And, as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance
And when the cannon mounting loud,
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
And glory sabres rise and fall,
Like shoots of fame on Tnidnight's pail!
There shall thy victor glances glow,
And covering foes shall sink beneaths
Each gallant arm that strikes below,
That lovely messenger OF death.
Tag OF yHc seas On OCoan "N'~
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave,
When death, careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail.
Aud frighted waves rush widely hack
Before the broadsides Keeling rack,
The dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look, at once, TO heaven and thee
And smile, to see thy splendours ny,
In triumph, DER his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts only home,
BY angel hands to valor given
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hres were born in heaven!
Forever float that standard sheet
Where breathes the foe but falls before US!
Where Freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And Freedoms banner streaming Ger us

ANECDOTE OF BUSNELL.
When Boswell was about to pub
lish his Iossr in the Hebrides,' hav-
ing communication of political
nature to make previous TO it's seeing
the light, he adopted the unceremoni-
Gus method of calling upon the high
est Personages in the kingdom for
the aforementioned purposes. The
Illustrious Parsonage sent him word
he should see him at the levee. Ac-
cordingly Boswell took his station in
the circle. When it came to his turn
to be spoken to, he announced to his
Majesty the work he intended to pub.
lish, and said his motive for doing SO
was, in order to know in what man.
ner he was to aame person he should
have occasion to mention in the course
of his narrative. That to call him
the Pretendsr was what be could not
think of doing, as it was against his
principles; that to name him the Che
Waller St. George was awkward, 1T
being a title that did not in reality
belong to him; in this dilemma he
wished to have his Majesty's com
mands upon the subject. Nay said
the King, 'call him what you please
Il may say, them resumed the au-
thor, shat I have your Majesty's
sanction for styling him the untor-
tunate grandson of James the Sec
ond." The King made no reply to
the disrespectful and indiscreet per-
tinacity of Boswell, bat Immediately
passed on to the next person in the
circle.

THE DAY OF THE TURK.
The absence of every kind of auuse-
ment makes one day the picture of a.
mother. A Turk of good condition ris
with the sun: and as he sleeps on soft
cushions, divesting himselfof but "a small
part of his dress it costs him but little
trouble at the toilet. He offers up his
prayer, and then breakfasts on cup of
coffee, some sweetmeats. and the luxury
OF his pipe. Perhaps he will read the
Koran, or the glowing poetry of Hafz
and Sadi for a knowledge of the Per.
sian is frequent accomplishment of
the upper ranks of both sexes. He then
orders bis Arab horse, and rides for
two or three hours, or exercises with
the ierrid, or throwing sort of blunt
iavelin, and afterwards dimes about
midday ON q highly seasoned pilaw.-
In the afternoon the coffee houses,
where the eastern story tellers resort,
are favorite places of entertainment;
or seated in his cool kiosk, on the banks
of the Bospborus, he yields to his use-
less but delightful habit of musing.-
The decline Of the day, however, sbrings
che Turks highest joys be sasn dimes
