-ded, supported by I'm. EH:eg, Cath-
Bert Po,C.H, YIN. VI. McCGrty, and

many of them excellent. We have
room for the following only:
TheUnited States of America-Here
burns the Lamp OF Liberty, lighted by
the hands of heroes and guarded by its

France-The early friend of Ameri-
ca. may Heaven send her institutions
worthy of the beauty of the country,

The memery of Washington-Fresh
as the passing moment; lasting as eter-
nity.
The 4th toast was the following
John Quincy Adams, President of

he has filled the most subordinate sta
tions, is sure pledge, that in the high

she kindly administered to the inhrmities OF
those who would otherwise have been kept
from the house of God. Her charities to
the poor were frequent, liberal, and will be
long remembered. Her children and grand
children can witness to the affectionatc ten
dcrness of her heart, and large circle of
friends found her uniformly kind, sympa-
thising and steadfast. Her head having
been principally affected by her fall, she was
not permitted to enjoy the full exercise of
her reason during the last days of her life,
and consequently did not make as distinct
Expressions of her religious feelings, at that
time, as her friends might have deemed de-
sirable. But the evidence on which we rest
our confidence of her present happy state, is
that of long life spent in the service of her
Redeemer While she endeavorcd consc-
entiously to obey all his precepts, she relied
for Justification, not on the merits of her own
morality, but OH the perfect obedience of
her Surety and Saviour She depended for
expiation, not on any Offerings of her own,
but on the atoning blood of Jesus Christ.
