A SEVERE REPROOF.

A truly rious man, Of rank and influ-
ence in society, was in the habit OF en-
tertaining and admitting to degree OF
intimacy, persons of very humble cir
cumstances in life, it only they gave evil
dencc of true religion. His friend, who
was accustomed TO measure every thing
according to the standard of this world,
rallied him, pleasantly, on the subject OF
his associates: intimaing surprize
that he should admit to his Hospitality
and friendship, persons OF so obscure an
origin, and OF SO little estimation among
men.-He replied IN zone OF unaffect-
ed humility, that, as he could scarcely
hope to ENJOY so elevated rank as they
in the future world, ne knew not why
he should despise them in the present.
The reproof came home to the feelings
of the proud man, and he was silent
conscience whispering, meanwhile, how
dim were his prospects OF rising in the
future world, TO an equality with the pi-
Gus poor, ii his christian friend was In
danger of falling below them.

The turnkey entered at the moment
ashamed of bis weakness he dashed the
rising drop from his eye, and a frown
again lowered upon his countenance.
The man meanwhile approached to tear
the lady from his embraces. Overpow-
cred by feelings, he could make no resis-
lance but, as no eIoomily released her
from bis iold, gave her little miniature
of himself, and with this parting token Of
attachment, imprinted the last kisses Of
dying man upon her lips. On reach
ing the door, she turned round, as if to
gaze once more on the object Of her wi
bowed love. He caught her eye as she
retired i, was but for moment; the
dungeon door swung back again upon
its hinges, and as it closed after her, in
formed him but too surely, that they had
met for the last time on earth.

WEBSTER'S
NEW DAU'HAU.vAkY.

S. CONVERSE proposes to publish by sub
scription an AMERICAN DICTIONARY OF
OF the English language. BrNoAH WEBSTER,
l.. l.. ID.
This Dictionary will contain such parts Of the
best English Dictionaries as are well executed,
with the following improvements:
l. .4ddhtisnal Words. The new words which
the great advances in the physical sciences,
within the last forty or fifty years, have enrich.
ed the language, and which ar6nhot inserted
in Johnson's Dictionary. nor the late improved
edition by Todd, amount to five or six thou
sand. These, with the participates and other
words added, will augment the vocabulary
with nearly twenty thousand words.
2. Precise and Technical Definitions. The
Dictionaries hitherto published are almost ex-
clusively translating dictionaries, in which one
word is defined by another that is synony-
nous, or nearly so. of this kind Of dictiona-
ries and lexicons, we have many OF great ex-
cellence. But if there is any dictionary of
the English language, Of price which places
it within the means Of purchase which teach
ers in general possess, in which definitions are
sufficiently accurate, discriminating and tech
nical, that work has not come to the knowt
edge of the author Of the proposed Dictiona-
ry. The precision Of definitions in this work
will, it is believed, supercede the necessity of
book Of synyms.

tons and distinct applications OF English

~ the name of JOHN w. B. CALDWELL,
left his place of residence in the town of Char
don, Geauga, Ohio, in manner unaccountable
to all who are acquainted with the circum-
stance. He was single man much esteemed
by his neighbors, and about IS years of age
He possessed farm under Improvement, and
to appearance was in a thriving condition.
His sudden disappearance in SO mysterious
manner led to suppositon that he was muir
dered, but all the exertions of the surround
ing country have been unavailing in ascertain
ing the fact. If he is still living, and any per-
son knowing the same, ii is hoped that infor-

FEMALE TENDERNESS.

OF Metz, poor sentinel was sent upon
guard one Of the bl,terest nights, when
fierce north wind added to the usual
cold. His watch was IN one OF the most
exposed situations Of the place, and he
had scarcely recovered from severe in
disposition; but he was a soldier, and
declared his readiness 10 take his round.
1t CHANGED that he had pledged his af-
tections 10 young woman OF the same
city, who no sooner heard Of his being
on duty, than she began to lament Bit
terly, declaring IT to be impossible for
him to survive the insufferable severity
Of such q night, after the illness under
which he still fingered. Tormented
with anxiety, she was unable to close her
eyes, or even retire to rest; and as the
night advanced and tho cold became
more intense, her fancy depicted him
struggling against the fearful elements,
and his own weakness, and at length, no
longer able to support himself, over.

found her poor soldier nearly as much
exhausted as she had imagined, being
with difficulty able to keep his ieet, ow-

earnestly conlured him to hasten, though
only tor little while, to revive himself

POETRY.
GOSPEL WORSHIP.

BE BERNARD BARTON.
How glorious, God must thy temple have
been,
On the day of its fir st dedication,
When the Cherubim's wings widely waving
were seen
On high, Ger the ark's holy station
When even the chosen of Levi, tho skill'd
To minister standing before thee,
Retir'd from the cloud which the temple then
flpd,
And thy glory made Israel adore thee.
Though awfully grand was thy majesty then,
Yet the worship thy gospel dscloses,
Less splendid in pomp to the vision of men.
Far surpasses the ritual of Moses.
And by whom was the ritual forever repeaPd :
But by HIM unto whom it was given
To enter the Oracle where is reveald,
Not the cloud, but the brightness of heaven.
Who, having once entered hath shown us the
way,
Lord how to worship before thee:
Not with shadowy forms Of that earlier day,
But in spirit and truth to adore thee!
This. this is the worship that JESUS made
known!
When she of Sanaria found him
BY the patriarch's well sitting weary, alone,
With the stiffness of noontide around him.
How sublime, yet how simple the homage he
taught
To her who inquired by that fountain,
If JEHovAaat Solyma's shrine would be sought :
Or ador'd on Samaria's mountain
Woman believe me, the hour is near,
When He, if ye rightly would hail him,
Viii neither be worshipp'd Exclusively here,
Nor yet at the altar of Salem.
For Con is spirit, and they who Alright
Would perform the pure worship he loveth
In the hearts holy temple will seek with de
light,
That spirit the Father approveth.
And many that prophecy's truth can declare
Whose boson.s have livngly known it;
Whom Con hath instructed to worship him
there,
And convinced that his mercy will own it.
The temple that Solomon built to his name,
Now lives in history's story;
distinguished, long since, is its affairs bright
fame,
And VANISHED each glimpse of its glory.
But the Christian. made wise by a wisdom d.
vine,
Though all human fabrics may falter,
Still finds in his heart far holier shrine,
Where the fire burns unquench'd on the
altar.
