apparently averse to any intercourse with the

months IS supposed to BE- less han hat requr-
ed for the ordinary nourishment of AN Infant
but during the period first named, neither per-
suasion, threats, nor force, have been effecrual
to make him swallow the leas, sustenance Of
any kind. Som particles Of foud, crowded be-
tween his tech wo weeks ago, were discharged
from his nostrIs directly after, and no further
cornpulsion has been used. He is described as
wasted TO gha,ly skeleton; still he is though
in great measure 10 retain his senses, and TO

is believed TO be almost unpa' alIeIed, and has,
thus far, baffied all the efforts of medical skill.

y any thing he sees, but he imagnes that he wants
it, and thus his house is filed with profuson of ar
tcles such as nobody else possesses. He generally
conrves however, to get them the smallest expense
to his purse, and the indulgence of this petu might
be better paated if amidst this exuberance he would
make some show of liberal feeling but although he
has many duplicates, he has scarcely ever been known

progress of the interests this country They
bids fair TO render them permanently useful Their roots have
already struck deep in the foundations of society," and oug
and terrible must be the tempest which eradicate them
They have struggled against every disadvantage against our
own strong prejudces and the all grasping monopoly of
Bnan and under the protection of our government
their beneficial influence will extended until il Shall become

argued that although these establishments may increase The

proof OF this England pointed out, with her vicious and
oppressed popuaton-and taught believe that the
deporable condition in which of her districts really are
owing to the increase of her manufactures This how
ever very far from the fact That partial and individual
evils may arisenay in the nature of things must arise from
manufacturing interest," and comprehensive as that of
Britain we ready TO admit But if examine the state
OF society in England previous the establishment of her
manufactures, the immense the almost ncalcuabe benefits
which have resulted from them will become apparent Then

manufactures opened for the emancipation of the SAT-

OF distress and crime prevailing at this in Great
Britain, compared with her former degradation and noutv
is but as the &c dust upon the balance"
The manner in which manufacturing establishments are
regulated beyond doubt calculated to improve the moral
character of those connected with Them The owners and
managers of these establishments have satisfied themselves
that morality and industry indispensable requisites in those
employed in their business and hence every exeron is made
to disseminate principles of religion among them

From my hearts fame its idol tear.
And let me worship Thee.
The errors of superstition, as exhibited among the
Tindoos and other nations considered less civilized
than ourselves have frequently been amented by pi-
Gus persons, and no doubt with great sncerity when
if some of these people had been accused at the same
moment of being themselves dolaters they would have
repealed the accusation with great warmth and indig
nation and this shows how difficult il is to
selves as others see us. Let examine this subject
in calm and dispassonate manner, and perhaps our
pride of superiority may descend little from its sub
Unity
What is dolatry 1t is the worship Of images
But images in this sense confined to the mere
representations of visible living objects, but may
be either external INTERNAL and in fact any OBJ
iecs feelings which improperly worshipped.--
In what, therefore, does dolatry consist In the
warantable love of any thing which unduly attracts
thcheart from the love of the Supreme Being, and abb
serbs its affections as amidst the profusion of the gifts
Of his bounty to prevent it from seeing the giyer and
from constantly keeping his goodness before eyes.
For this is nothing less than making dipnes of these
gits-lovng them more than their Author-and for
ming images in the mind, set up with various decora-
tons and worshippng them instead of the Almighty.
hold Gods, to whose statues various oblations were
periodically offered and in the early days Of Rome,
human sacrifices sometimes smoked on their altars-
Although this external idolatry has passed away be-
fore the superior light Of christianity, yet its spirit
still lOmentably remains And many who lit
tic suspects his motives, erects in his house, stat
ues of silver and gold, to which all his affections pay
homage, and whose worship absorbs all the better
feelings of his heart.
AvARUs was man of immense wealth, and might
have used it to scatter thousands of blessings around
him without diminishing any of his own comforts
indeed these would certainly have been increased f
he could have persuaded himself that he was only
steward OF the gifts of Providencefor such is the
constitution OF nature that happiness is not
happiness unless it be reflected from the eyes of 9th
ers" But Avarus loved his money so well, that to
part with it like tearing his heart-strings asun
der and he made it principle of his life never even
to pay a just demand, unless he were compelled by
The laws of the country. Perhaps he may occasion

| can, and keep what catch.'' In other respects
being man of integrity he had been left executor to
the disposition of many estates but through long
life he never settled of these Surely in the pene
traho of this mans house, there was statue of Gold
and his soul bowed down and worshipped the IDOL
Was he not also human sacrifice? Avarus however,
has terminated his worldly idolatry and gone to his
last account leaving to the executors of his own
wills complicated number of unsettled demands to
adjust. There are thousands like Avarus, who hav-
ing the means at their command, delay month after
month the settlement of their debts from the mere
love of the wealth in their possession and these are
all idoaters and require the aid of energetic mission
aries much more than the poor ignorant Pagans
We will do Avarus that degree Of Justice, TO ac-
knowledge that there were Inconsistencies IN his char
acter He did not distress any one Of his numerous
tenants for the rent owing by them, and he has been
known to let it accumulate to considerable sum be-
fore he turned them away but once let him be paid
and like the attraction of cohesion of nsurmounable
strength, the money adhered like the exhausted hem
spheres of an air pump. He had great number Of
houses but although he scarcely ever raised the rent
he was never known to repair one of them, and had
mot the tenants done this in their own Defence the
mansions would have tumbled about their ears and
opened He uOOFS ana WIHuOWS ana roofs TO the winds
of all the points of the compass But let us allow
Avarus to rest in peace. In some respects he has
left numerous successors, and tie of idolaters
who bow down to Gold, is extensive on the earth.
But the statues of the modern household gods are
not made of gold and silver only They appear to
be constructed of polished mahogany and curlod ma
pie and rose wood, of Italian marble and splendid
glass are sometimes enyeloped in fine moreen or
silk damask, and at others arrayed in crimson satin
All the inordinate lovers of fine houses and costly
furniture, of splendid equpages and establishments,
and who devote their lives to the addition of house to
house and land to land in want of idols, in the
secret places of their residences. Nor must we for
get little idol erected in the upper chambers of the
dwelling, before which many fair maiden pays hour
y reverence, and twists her hair and binds herse
with strong cords with all tho devotion of idolatry-I
There are persons of another description who wor-
ship old furniture merely because it is old, however
inconvenient useless, pay reverence to anti
quated articles, without taking advantage of the in
creased comforts which the modern improvements of !
Science and Art furnish.
