"A Chinese, who was accustomed

rest himself. Finding himself fatigucd
he put the book down to the ground and
placed stone or it, whilst he lay down
to repose himself. After while he gol
up and went home--but forgot the book.

The Convention was holden in St. Mi

cese, Messrs. Crockcr, Wheaton, TAFT,
Burge, Brissed, Fuller, Hathaway, and

tol; three from St. Paul's, Pawtucket

from st. Marks Warren. The Churches
Of st. Marks and Craze, were admitted
into the Convention last year.
Services were performed in the morning
before pretty numerous congregation
Sermon by Rev. Mr.. Burge. The COM
munion sacrament was administered by
the Bishop to more than one hundred and
fifty persons, of all ages. Among them,
was a young man who was blind, and two
reputable Africans. A great number OF
interesting aud EXTREMITY youthful females,
participated in the rite. There was eyi-
dently strong feeling ofdevotion pervad
ing the communicates. After the servi-
ces, the Convention organized. Rev.
MIR. Burge, Secretary of the Convention,
resigned his office, aud Rev. MIR. Fuller,
of Providence, was appointed.
Committees were appointed to make re
ports in the Afternoon, Oh several sub
jects, and the Convention adjourned.
In the afternoon, the Committee report
ed on the subject of taking measures to
render the sittings ofthe Convention more
useful and interesting; and after DISCUSS
Convention sermon, sermon OH Missions
be preached, the evening Of the first day
Of the Convention, and sermon on Sun
day Schools, the morning of the second
day, the design being to continue the Con
vention two or more days, in order to give
more time for disposing of the business,
and bringing together greater number of
the friends of Episcopacy, in the State.
The Committee on Sunday Schools re-
ported that State Union had been form
ed, composed Of two schools in Provi-
dence, and one each in Newpert, Paw
tucket, Warren, and Wexford. A reso-
luton passed that the Convention approve

having done nothing, were discharged,
and new one appointed.
The Standing Committee was appoint-
ed, consisting ofthc seven parochial cler-
gyman in the State, and a lay member
from each parish, viz: Rev. Messrs.
Crocker, Wheaton, Taft, Burge, Bristed,
Fuller and Hathaway, Of the clergy; and

course to preach the next Convention ser
mon; Rev. Mr.. Fuller was chosen to
preach the Missionary sermon, and Rev.
Mr.. Hathaway, the Sunday School SER
mon, before said Convention.
The reports from the Roctors of the
several Parishes were read, presenting an
encouraging account of the condition of
lhe Churches. The two Churches recent
~ established, are in prosperous state.
AT Warren beautiful Ediice has been
erected, and will be ready for use next
month. The cause ofEpiscopacy has at
no time been SO fourishing in this state,
as ct the present. The whole number OF
communicates in connexion with the Con-
vention is about TOO. A depository OF
Sunday School books has been established
at Providence, in connexion with the
State Union, and libraries, for the use OF
the Schools, are found in nearly every
parish. The number of Sunday scholars
in all the parishes, is about 800. Ofthese
40 belong to an infant Sunday School,
which has been established and conducted
with much success, in ST. Johns Church.
Most of the Parishes have established
State Missionary societies, but there ap-
pears to be great want of zeal in the es-
Establishment of these Societies. Many
persons. attached to the services of the T.
piscopal Church, are languishing in differ
ent parts ofthe state, for want Of regular,
or even occasional preaching. The Con-
yention considered it highly important
that renewed zeal and energy should be
infused into all the churches, in promoting
the missionary cause in this state, By
which is understood'the strengthening OF
the Churches already established, and the
supplying Of preaching to those members
of the Church whose location deprives
them ofts benefits.
The next Annual Convention was di.
rected to be holden in Newport, and the
Convention adjourned without day.

THE INTEMPERATE HUSBAND,

degrees becomes the creature of intenn-

devoted woman, here bends to her diroat

he is her insulter, her oppressor what

There, through the dull midnight hour.
her griefs are whispered TO herself; her
bruised heart blee DIS in secret. There,
while the cruel author Of her distress is
drowned In distant reyelry, she holds her
solitary yigils waiting, yet dreading his
return, that will wiring from her by his un
