George Moreland. 1t was one OF those beautiful

But lovely as were the attractions of her person,
they were more than equalled by the supremacy Of
he mlnd For, although her opportunities for in
tellectual improvement were very inconsiderable,
and her domestic duties comparatively numerous,
yet considering mental superiority as the highest
and most laudabe attainment, she had stored her
mind with the richest intellectual treasures.
AS James, upon his return home, had to pass the
door of his uncle, a few miles distant from his pa
ernal residence, he had resolved to stop and inquire
OF his fathers family and he rode up the door
upon the very afternoon that his sister upon a
visit at that unce's house. He had scarcely aight
ed and stepped into the house, when gaze from
him of more than admiration cuI osy excited
in Zemira an unusual agitation; she thought Of
her brother, when upon his Stepping towards her
and mentioned his name, she sprang forward and
fell senseless in his arms. The usual salutatons
being over, Zemira informed him, among other
things, that upon his leaving home, they had re-
source, as means Of little profit to keeping pub
lie inn in which situation they had ever since re-
manned and it was proposed between Zemira and
James, that he should remain, il possible, undiscov-
cred to his parents, until her return on the follow
ing day that upon her introducing him. the rapture
of the meeting might be heightened into ecstacy.
With Joy inexpressibe, he left the family of
his uncle, and in short time was within sight of
mis- fathers house. And although the time of his
ARRIVAL, al latc uuSks idfuco WISH Vi eoHCCAa-
ment, yet, on meeting his aged parents upon the
very domicil where he had spent the happiest of
his youthful days, he was forced in spite of all his
exertions to sit down and weep with sensations he
had never before experienced. This circumstance,
however, being attributed to the fatigue Of travels
ling, passed away unnoticed; and upon his asking
for entertainment, and receiving an answer in the
affirmative, he brought in portmanteau whose con-
tents were gold coin, and as caution for them to
secure it, told them with the most undisguised
openness, the quantity of money it contained but
as no other person had yet stopped there for the
night little danger apprehended on that account.
This was to be sure but an inconsiderable portion of
his acquisitions he had for greater safety and ia

requested permission to be left alone at supper
where every scene and object around him was
membrancer Of some youthful pleasure ;-and de-
string to retire earlier than he otherwise would have
done but for fear of discovery, he preceded the old
man almost as if by instinct to his own chamber,
Here being left alone he poured forth his soul IN
humble alteration and fervens gratitude TO the grea.

affecting Scene IN Wescgate.


The London Evangelical Magazine for May,
gives the following account of an affecting
scene which was recently witnessed in
Newgate in England:
The Rev Ordinary of Newgate had
been preaching TO the assembled prison
ers, and especially to the FIVE conyicts

an admirable sermon from the impress

broken heart and a contrite spirit"
He had in the most touching manner
described that humility of heart which
is always. attendant upon real conviction
of guilt; being a thorough change Of
the heart from its state by nature, rem
dered averse TO any dependence upon
self-righteousness, but ever most solic-
itous for mercy. Such heart is called
in holy Scripture sacrifice. Sacrif-
ces for sin were, under the Jewish law,
with the shedding Of blood. He then
pointed his heSers to that great atone
ment which also was with bIood-shed-
ding by the Saviour of men. This
atonemeni he urged upon the cohsidera-
ton of those criminals who were soon
10 appear before God.
The sermon was evidently heard with
The most earnest attention; but when

sion, and from the condemned pew, for
