THE GARLAND,

The absence Of original articles for this number
will, we think, be amply rccompensedb by the inter
est of the selections which we have found. When
the etfusions of Johnson, Cowper, Montgomery,
BRYANT, and other distinguished men, are juIicously
placed before our readers, sure they will be
willing to pardon the backwardness of corrcspon-
dents, and torego the trouble of perusng the hasty
and lll-digested lucubrations of the Editor We
cannot, however, let the occasion pass, without
reminding our literary friends of the duty they
owe to their less-gifted fellow mortas, and telling

EXTRACT FROM An ADDRESS ny JAMES MONTGOMERY.
THE POET
"In the Bible Society, all names and distinctions
OF Nccts are blended till they lost like the prs
matte colours, in ray of pure and perfect light In
the Missionary work, though divided, they are not
dlscordant; but, like the same colours displayed
and harmonlzed in the rainbow, they form an arch
OF glory, ascending on one hand from earth to hea
ven, and on the other, descending from heaven to
earth, bow Of promise, covenant of peace, a sign
that the storm is passing away and the sun of right
eousness with healing in his wings, breaking forth
over all nations"

MORAL. REFLECTIONS.

The dlsturbers of our happiness, in this
world, are our desires, our griefs, and
our fears; and to all these, the considera
ton OF mortality is certain and adequate
remedy. Think, says Epictetus, frequent
ly on poverty, Punishment, and death, and
thou wilt then never indulge violent de-
slres, or give up thy heart to mean seati
ments
That the maxim Of Epictetus is found
ed on just observ atlon,w i'll easily be grant
ed, when we reflect, how that vehemence
OF eagerness after the common objects Of
pursuit is kindled in our minds. We re-
present to ourselves the pleasures of some
future possession, and suffer our thoughts
to dwell attentively upon it, till it has
wholly engrossed the Imagination, and
permits US not to conceive any happiness
but ITS attainment, or any misery but its
loss; every other satisfaction which the
bounty OF Providence has scattered over
lite is neglected as inconsiderable, in com
parison Of the great object which we have
placed before US, and is thrown from US
as incumbering our activity, or tramp
led under foot as standing in our way
Every man has experienced how much
OF this ardour has been RENTED, when a
sharp or tedious sickness has set death
before his eyes. The extensive influence
OF greatness, the glitter Of wealth, the

think with you, that the most mag
nitcent object under heaven is the great
deep; and cannot but feel an unpolite spe-
cleS OF aston.shment, when consider the
multltudes that view il, without emotion,
and even without reflection. In all its
various forms, il is an object Of all others

impressions Of the awful power that Gre

little attention to religious sub lects as al

have lately finished eight volumes of
Johnson's Pretaces, or Lives of the Poets.
In all that number observed but one
mana poet of no grea, fame-of whom
did not know that he existed till found
him there, whose mind seems to have
had the slightest tincture of religion,
and he was hardly in his senses. His
name was Collins. He sunk into state
OF melancholy, and died young Not
long before his death, he was found at
his lodgings in Islngton by his biogra-
pher, with the New Testament in his
hand. He said to Johnson, Il have but
one book, bu, it is the best Of him,
therefore, there are some hopes. But
from the lives Of all the rest there is but
one inference to be drawn; that poets
are very worthless, wicked set Of peo-
pie.
After all, it is melancholy observation,
which it is i'm possible not to make, after
