Soon the wreaths Of vice, which had

Is pointing a withering finger at his

And could he anticipate his end he would
tell you self-Inurder would shortly crown
his work Of guilt, and despair's last work
will be done. That the father who hung
over his cradle, weaving bright visions
of the future greatness of his boy,
would shortly feel dreadful satisfac-

BILE and everlasting as is her love for
her backsliding children; she who has
so often lulled him to repose, and joyed
to watch his waking-even she murmur-

MING.

OF all the evils that desolate the
social hcarth-stonc, perhaps there is
not one more deadly, five except intem-
perance, than that of gaming. Young
men, whose 'life's young Dream tells of
happy days yet to come-you, who gaz-
ing upon the ocean of future life, 'see plea
sure dancing upon the waves ofcxpccta-
tion,' whose glowing Imagination points
out golden shores ofbliss, which are al
ready yours by anticipation-beware
beware, do beseeeh you ofthis whirl-
pool! Beware, lest in avoyage of human
life, reason should quit the helm, and you
should be lost, irrecoverably lost among
the quick sands ofiniquity.
Look at the pale victim of the insatia-
bic destroyer of human happiness--his
haggard check and beamless eye-what at
language do they speak! With mute and
awful eloquence they tell you of blighted
fame and fortune; Of hopes withered and
crushed; that fame, fortune and honor is
fearful wreck! Hear his hollow laugh,
which tells you that he is ruined, ruined *
undonc! His brain is all on fire 2 his glar-
ing eyo-balls seem ready to burst in their
sockets, as the awful reality rushes upon
his affrighted soul. The deep pangs of
mental agony give fearful lustrc to his
rolling eye; his desperate mirth-his
wild ,convulsive joy-tells Of black des-
pair wrung from withered hearts.
Look we back for moment upon his
early youth. The morning Of his days
was bright and glorious. The gayest Of
the gay, and the happiest ofthe happy, he
set out upon the pathway of life rejoicing
in purity, loving and being loved. But
alas although his morning sun rose
without a cloud, yet ere it reaches its
meridian it is eclipsed- In an evil hour, a
pander, a demon, must drag him into
a may labyrinth, from whence there
is no escape. He must drown his love

above its bed of green. 1t was me-
mortal of that child who perished in the
infancy of its existence; leaving no more
trace of himself among the living, than
the cloud that wanders and melts away
in the blue ofheaven
could not help medtating on the eff
feet of time. At the time when the
leaves, which saw falling around me,
were opening, this child was in the
brightn ess of its rising. Now it was
gathered, 'dust to DUST it was taken
from the living, and the parents refused
the comfort both of God and man. Now,
most of those who shed tears for his ear
ly departure, had forgotten where they
had laid him;-and the parents them
selves treasured his memory with far
more tenderness than gloom. Had any
visible angel, since, said to them that he
was not here, but had risen Was
not the sun of righteousness shining as
brilliantly, then, upon the world as now
| felt that time had done what religion
then could not do : what religion might
then have done, had it been intimate in
the heart. For it is designed to remove
the terrors of the grave : and, instead of
throwing ourselves open to the accidents
and misfortunes of life, we should take
the consolation God has offered, and
bind it to our souls. We should not al
low ourselves to be entirely passive in
the day of trial. We should exert all
the energy of our nature, touched and
quickened by religion. flour hearts are
strong to the trials of life, like fine in
strument, their tones will be inspiring !;
but give them up to the influences of the
world, and they are all sadness like the
harp of the wiuds, on which the passing
breeze makes what melody it will.
And yet it would seem, as if the an
guish of sorrow was almost as deep, as if
our religion never had come. The tears
flow as fast and freely as they did two
thousand years ago; but then, immortali-
ty was like some star which shone, unre-
garded, i'll the heaven. Now, its periods
have been measured; its vastness reveal
ed; and it has been made guide to the
wanderers on the sea. Still, VIC regard
the future with uneasiness and dread, we
set our affections on perishing things, and
are miserable when we lose them.
When our friends are living and happy,
we feel as if they were immortal; when
they are gone, VIC mourn for them as if
they were lost forever.

to a double curse, for they lose the
esteem of all good men by descending
to those arts which ingratiate them with
the multitude; and when once their false
promises and ostentatious pretensions are
seen through by their enthusiastic admir-
ers, the tone of their Glamour is sudden
ly changed, and instead of hearing the
shouts, and seeing the signals of APP
plause, they will meet the frowns of an
injured and indignant multitude, and be
compelled in some shape or other to atone
for the deception and low intrigue which
they have so successfully practiced upon
them.

INFIDELITY.

Mr.. PouLsoN: l am not one of those
who entertain very great fears of the sue
cess of the modern Goddess of Reason, in
establishing her princi pies to any extent
in our community. Yet it is not to be
concealed, that by artfully combining
with her irreligious sentiments, a pretend
ed zeal for the social and political eleva-
ton of that respectable class of persons,
whose avocations naturally unfit them for
power or office, she has succeeded in
deluding many into an adoption of her ru-
nous opinions. have thought that G.
nough has not been done by those who
witness this distressing spectacle, to win
back the victims Of deception to the path
from which they have been seduced.
Arguments, clearly expressed and mildly
urged, showing the iallacy of the mis-
nomer Free Inquiry System, would doubt
less, restrain the intelligent and well in
clined, from abandoning the hopes of re-
ligion, the ties of social life and the prin-
ciples of political order and to embrace
scepticism, RIGHTEOUSNESS and anarchy.
This subject has been recalled to my
mind with new force, upon reading, for
the first time, very celebrated essay, by
one of the most powerful writers of mod
ern times-thc Rev Robert Hall, of
England-written during the French
Revolution, and entitled ".Modern hfdel-
ny considered ,rih respect TO its influence
on Society,"" The copy before me is

by Mr.. Dobson, in 1900 1t has proba-
bly, met the eyes of few of your read

culiar force to the attempt now making
in this country to subvert the best hopes
of man, and the foundations of civil So
cicty, hope to perform an acceptable
service to the public in bringing it to
to their attention.
The first proposition which the writer
makes is that the sccptical or irreligious
system subverts the foundation Of MOI ais.

system has produced : Where are the
patriots it has sent forth'
In view of the final issue of the con-
test, we should find comparatively little
cause to lament the prevalence of these
new ideas, but for solicitude for the
rising generation, to whom the system is
recommended by two motives, with young
minds the most persuasive, the love of
independence * the love of pleasure. With
respect to the first, we would remind the
young, that by the unanimous consent Of
all ages, modesty, docility and reverence
to superior years, and to parents above
all, have been considered as their appro-
pirate virtue, guard assigned by the
immutable laws of God and nature on
the inexperience of youth: and with re-
spect to the second, that christianity pro-
hibits no pleasures that arc innocent, lays
no restraints that are capricious; but that
the sobricty s purity which it enjoins, by
Strengthening the intellectual powesr, and
preserving the faculties ofmind and body
in undiminished vigour, LAY the surest foun-
dation of present peace and future emf
nence. AT such season as this, it be-
comes an urgent duty on parents, guar
dians and tutors, to watch not only over
the morals, but the principles of those
committed to their care; to make it ap-
pear that concern for their eternal well
fare is their chief concern, and to imbue
them early with that knowledge Of the
evidences of christianity, and that pro-
found reverence for the scriptures, that
with the blessing of God may preserve
them in the hour Of temptation.

REFLECTIONS

ON VISITING THE GRAVE OF CHILD.
The following passage by Rev. MIR.
Peabody, is extracted from the 'Oher-
ing of Sympathy. The scene which it
describes with so much truth and beauty,
is one, which with a mournful frequency
we are called to witness, and the thoughts
its suggests, will meet at once, the feel,
ings of many bereaved heart.
In the spring of the last year, | attend
the funeral of child; one that | had of
ten seen the parents gaze upon with an
expression ofdeep delight, and seeming
| ly without the least consciousness that
it was not an immortal thing. l could
understand their happiness, but not their
security; for had shared that calamity,
from which life is not free, and with a
heavy, but trust an humble heart, had
laid my treasures in the dust l was
prepared, therefore, to sympathize with
them tear for tear, but, in truth, the
heart most unacquainted with grief, must
have been moved at the sight of child,
beautiful as the morning star, called
away from his parents, care and tender
ness, and soon to lay his head on cold
er pillow than his mothers breast. The
scene was impressive, and even awful
the Stiffness of the mansion which had
rung with his laugh of gladness; the par
ents wrapt in unuttcrable woe the chill
dren gazing with wonder and awe on the
mystery OF death. In the midst of them
lay the child, once so tender and helpless,
now insensible to all human affections;
his features bore that unsearchable depth
of expression, which no mortal eye could
read; there was a smile on his lips, and
clear radiance on his brow, that made
all who beheld it, feel the unapproacha-
BILE majesty of death.-Soon the melan-
choly bell, the returning PROCESSION, and
the tomb closing on its creaking hinges,
told me that he had passed the boundary
that separated the living from the dead.
In the autumn i happened to visit the
burial place. This is a iavorite retreat
of the thoughtfui; it has solitude Of its
own, neither dreary nor oppressive; a
holy and gentle stiffness, which is fell
by every one that passes by. 1t was ir

From the Education Reporter,
AND EDUCATION.

General education, or the general
diffusion of knowledge, is infinitely more
important in republic, than under any
government that ever existed Under a
monarchy or an olgarchy, if the "com-
mon people" know enough to till the
ground, or toll at the mechanic trades,
or make money by traflick, or carry mus
kets In war, or 60 before the mast on the
ocean, it is enough. When the state wants
bodily service, they can render it;
when she wants money, or portion of
the fruits of their industry, they can pay it;
and what is wanted more' The great
men will govern them, and protect them
too as they do their farms and herds;
and the government will make no de-
mands upon them for the employment
of knowledge or talent. AS for the peo-
pie, why should they acquire know
ledge that they can scarcely have n
motive in using. 1t will make them
no richer; it will secure no privileges
or rights; it will raise them to no office,
or distinction, or station Of usefulness; it
might make them discontinued with their
lot 4 augment their miseries. Learning
cannot extend thro' the community, un-
der a despotic government: it is soil un-
congenial to its growth. The pages Of
history establish this fact. On a map
ofthe world at this very day, let light and
dark colors denote the knowledge or
ignorance which prevail in different
countries, and the same tokens will point
out the residence of freedom and bond
age. This is most powerful induce
ment for the sons of liberty to possess
themselves Of the treasures of know
ledge and convey them to their chill
dren.
The necessity for the general diffu-
sion Of knowledge among republicans,
arises from the very fact that they are
republicans. In republic, the people
are the sovereigns, and they must manage
the affairs of the empire. The people
therefore must know their rights, that they
may maintain & defend them; their duties,
that they may discharge them; the nature
of liberty, that they may enjoy il and not
infringe upon others: the history of man
and nations, that they may avoid the
errors of former ages and profit by their
accumulated wisdom; their own powers
and resources, that they may bring them
into operation for their own happiness
and the general good. Various de-
grees acknowledge are requisite, accord
ing to the stations which individuals will
fill. For in this body polite all MEM
bers have not the same Office, though
every man has an Office to discharge
Every one needs that kind and degree Of
knowledge, which will qualify him for the
duties aud immunties Of his station.
Every man need not be skilled in ancient
languages, or in all the branches Of lite
nature. But every man should know tho
great principles Of all the solid sciences,
and be well acquainted with the com
mon medium Of commune alton around
