IA their turn the American sailors shoId enjoy the
same privilege for the same number of days and So
ON alternately. In this way it would be impossible
that the peace of the should be Disturbed SINCE
no meeting could take place between the sailor, OF
the two nations. II this arrangement was not nur in
execution it not the fault Of the nder Of
the Java This fact, arising from the disputes which
had already taken place, sufficient to demonstrate
that Capt. DowNEs did oil that it was possible for
him to do to avoid all conflict, and thas if
occurrences have followed it is not upon him Ibat
the blame ought TO fall.
"I'here was not the least reconciliation in the

BEAUTY OF RELIGION

Soft are the fruitful flowers that bring
The welcome promise of the spring,
And soft the vernal gale:
Sweet the wild warblings of the grove,
The voice of nature and of love,
That gladdens every vale.
But softer in the mourner's ear
Sounds the mild voice of mercy near,
That whispers sins forgiven;
AND sweeter far the music swells,
When to the raptur'd soul she tells
Of peace and promised heaven.
Fair are the flowers that deck the ground,
And groves and gardens blooming round,
Unnumberd charms unfold
bright Is the suns meridian raw,
And bright the beams of setting dav,
That robe the clouds in gold.
But far more fair the pious breast,
In richer robes of goodness drest,
Where Heavens own graces shine;
And brighter far the prospects rise
That burst on Faiths delighted ewes
From glories all divine.
All earthly charms, however dear,
Howe'cr they please the eye or ear,
Will quickly fade and fy;
OF earthly glory faint the blaze,
And soon the transitory rays
In endless darkness die
The nobler beauties of the Just
Shall never moulder in the dust,
Or know sad decay;
Their honors, time and death defy,
And round the throne of heaven on high
Beams everlasting day.
