RELIGIOUS INDIFFERENCE.

In the introduction to the Philosophy
of a future state, by Thomas Dick, we
have the following impressive remarks
ou religious Indifference.
"Therc is too much reason to believe
that the Indifference to religion which so
generally prevails, especially among
those who are raised a little above the
vulgar throng, and the unhallowed pro-
pensities of vicious practices to which 1t
gives rise-are owing, in considerable
degree, to the want of full conriction of
the reality of a future existence, or to
some doubts which hover about the mind,
in relation to this important point. There
is no man, however insensible to the OBJ
legations of religion, that can fully salts
fy his own mind, the minds of others,
that the idea of future world is mere
chimera. On the contrary, the possibil-
ity, and even the probability, Of the truth
of mans eternal destiny, will ut certain
seasons, force themselves upon the minds
even of the most careless and prOianc.
Yet it is amazing to consider, with what
ease and Indifference, multitudes of this
description can glide down the stream of
time, under the awful necessity whether
it will land them in the shades of annihl-
lation. the realms of bliss, or the regions
of eternal wo.
Between us and these three periods or
states, says a celebrated French writer,
no barrier is intcrposcd but life, the most
brittle thing in all nature; and the hap
piness of heaven being certainly not de-
signed for those who doubt whether they
have an immortal part to enjoy it, such
persons have nothing left, but the MISE
rable chance of annihilation, or of hell.
There is not any reflection which eau
have more reality than this, as there Is
none which has greater terror.
Let us set the brave1t face on our CON
dition, and play the heroes as faithfully
as we can, yet sec here the issue which
attends the goodlicst life upon earth! II
is in vain for men to turn aside thcn
thoughts from this eternity which awaits
them, as if they were able to destroy it
by denying it place in their imagination
1t subsists in spite Of them; it advances
unobservcd; and death, which is to dra"
the curtain from it, will in short time
infallbly reduce them to the dreadful ne
ccssity of being forever nothing, or Tor
ever miserable.
To treat a subject, SO intensely and 81
momentous, with lcyity or indifference
TO exert all the energies of the soul II

at most will snatch forever from their en-
braco.-and never to spend one scrlou
hour in rejecting on what may posslbl,

or in endeavoring to find some light, t

this important enquiry, and to treat wit

ROMANTIC STORY.

The Rev. r. WARREN, in his Literary
RccoHec!ions, relates a short but roman
tic story respecting Miss Nancy Bere.
This young lady was, at an early age,
adopted by Mr.. Hackman and his lady,
under the following circumstances -
Her Mrs. Hackman's) garden, in
which alone she found particular plea
sure, stood in need, as is usual in the
spring season, of an active weeder; and
John, the footman, was dispatched to the
poor house to select paupcr girl, quail
fled for the performance Of this neccssa-
ry labor. Tc executed his commission
in tricc; brought back diminutive
female Of eight or nine years of age,
pointed out the humble task in which she
was to employ herself, and left her TO her
work. The Child, alone amid the flow
ers, began 20 "warble her woodnotes
Wild" in tones OF more than common
sweetness. Mrs i!ackman's chamber
window happened to be thrown up; she
heard the little VIC eder's solitary song;
was struck with thc rich melody of her
voice, and inquired from whom il pro-
ceeded. Nancy Eere, from the poor
house," was the answer. BY Mrs.
IIackman's orders, the songstress was
imme diately brought to the lady's de-
partment; who became so pleased, at this
first interview, with her noigeHe, intelli-
gcnce, and apparently amiable DISPOSE
ton, that she determined to remove the
warbling Nancy from the workhouse and
attach her to her own kitchen establish
mcnt. The little maiden, however, was
too good and attractive to be permitted to
remain long in the subordinate condition
of sculion's deputy. Mrs. IIackman,
soon preferred her to the Office Of lady's
maid; and to qualify her the better for
this attendance on her person, had her
carefully instructed in all the elemental
ry branches of education. The intimate
intercourse that now subsistcd between

/ one part, and the most grateful attach

a,tractivcly lovely, and still more Trcsst-

temper, gcn,leness of disposition, aud
| feminine sonness of character; and Mrs.
! .Hackman, whose regard for her, daily
increased, proposed, at length, TO her
complying husband, that they should a
dopt the paupcr orphan as their own
I dauchtcr. From the moment of her ex-
ocution of this plan, every attention was
paid to the education ofMiss Bere; and /,
presume with the best success, as l
have always understood that she Became
a highly accomplished young lady. Her
humility and modcsty, however never for
sock her, and her cxnltation to Mr..
ilackman's family seemed only to
strengthen her gratitude TO her partial
and generous bcneiactress. 1t coHd
