The Berean, with Scripture and common sense
for lis guides, examines freely the opinions and
practices of the religious professors OF the pre-
sent day. Bound to sect, as q sect, nor to any
creed, or set of opinions, because supPmtedby
great names, he reduces to practice the excellent
advice Of the Apostle,
i" Proue all things; hold fast that which is good"
With the Bible in his hand, the Berean con-
tends for what he believes to be the faith once
delivered to the sants"-a faith both simple and
practical, and within the compass OF the hum
blest perceptions. Controvcrsyin the commonly
accepted sense, and opinions having no bearing
on practice, he freely abandons to polemical yea
lots.

much aid by remnants Of flannel, muslin, or
domestic gingham. Ifousekeepers BY half

made into garments suitable for infants; and

can people, Of honest and enlightened alice
ton for their ancient bencfactor and fellow
soldier in the cause of freedom. We will
own, that, to us, there is something peculi-
arly touching in the enthusiasm, which that
great nation has shown upon the arrival OF
the truly venerable person who seeks, in
their affections, a temporary refuge from
the persecution Of his own government. No
man can be named who has, through long
lie acted with more undertaking integrity,
and who, with more consistency, has pursu-
ed his course ofdeyotion to the sacred cause or
liberty, and opposed all dcspotism, whether
exercised by the genius Of Napoleon, or by
those successors to his throne, whose powers
form SO mighty Il contrast with their stations
LAFAYETTE may have fallen into errors; in
flying from one danger, he did not perceive
that liberty might have double hazard to
encounter, both from oppression and from
conquest: but faults he has never been
charged with by any whose good opinion
deserves his regard; and the honors which
he has received in America are as entirely
due to the innexible virtue of his ripper years,
and his willing sacrifice of himself OH all
occasions to the cause of liberty IN his own
country as they are peculiarly mt to nan
his temperance i'll country which the
generous devotion of his Younger days had
helped to make a powerful State OF few
dependant colonies No friend of liberal
principles can feel any thing but sympathy
and pride, in following the progress OF this
great patriot through the United States, even
where its details are recorded by the most
ordinary chronicles of the times"
