ADVANTAGE OF RELIGION IN THE o.,
pINioN OF AN INFIpEL.-Who would
dare, in casting glance at the career
traced for us, to declare the succor of
religion useless and supcrfuous' The
sources of our sorrows are numerous: we
may be prosecuted by power, calumnia-
ted by falschood The bonds of soci-
ETY., altogether Fictitious, wound Us.
Destiny strikes us where we have gar
nered up our affections. Old age, that
sombre and solemn epoch, steals upon
us, spreading chilness and dullness over
the objects by which we are surrounded.
We search every where for consultations,
and all our consultations are religious.
When the world abandons US, we form
an alliance above the world. When men
persecute us, we create for ourselves an
appeal beyond men. When we see our
most cherished illusions-justice, liberty,
patriotsm-vanish, we console ourselves
with the belief that Being exists, who
will reward us for having been faithful,
in despite of our age, to justice, TO free
dom, and to our country. When we
regret a beloved object, we throw a
bridge over the abyss that separates US,
and traverse it in thought Finally,
when life glides away from US, we press
forward to new state of existence.
Thus is religion the faithful companion,
the ingenious and interchangeable friend OF
the unfortunate. He who regards as
errors all these hopes, should, in my O.
pinion, be more profoundly affected than
any other, by this universal concourse oi
all-sullering beings; by the demands OF
grief, addressed to a heaven of brass,
from all quarters Of the globe, to remain
without answer; and by the deception
which gives us reply the confused noise
of so many prayers, echoed in distance
through the air. 1t is easy to exhibit the
l,tleness Of man and the immensely of the
universe; but if we place the greatness
OF man in what really constitutes tin
his soul, in his sentiment, in his thought,
all these philosophic declamations be-
come as the idle wind. There is more
greatness in a noble thought, in pro-
found emotion, in sublime act Of devo
ton, than in all the mechanism of celcs
tial ,spheres.-Benjamin Constants Pos

co,leoe on the 2Gth Of the month, con
occasion of the great earthquake which
shook New England the week before"
Inv John Winthrop lIollison, Professor
of Mathematics and Philosophy. The
learned gentleman SAYS, that the shock
Iasted four minutes, and the greatest vio-
leuce ia half that time. ole lorcbore to
rise from his bed because the agitation
was so vehement, that he concluded ii
would be difficult, if not impracticable,
to. 90 from the bed to the chimney, with
out being thrown down" The windows
continued rafting for minute or two.
In endeavouring to prove that 1t bega"
with horizontal motion Of the earth, he
refers to the dashing of liquors over the
sides of open vessels, the overseeing
many things in houses, and the throwing
of bricks from of the tops OF chlmncys to
some distance. In order, he says, to
estimate the velocity with which some
were thrown from his chimaey, he meas
urcd the greatest distance on the ground
to which any of them reached, and found
it to be thirty feet. The height of the
chimney from which they were thrown
was thirty-two feet. That the vibrations
of buildings, aud especially Of the higher
parts Of them, were, in fact, extremely
swift, appeared from some facts which
had come to his knowledge, as the burst
ing of dsliller's cistern by the agita-
ton of the liquor in it, and the breaking
off the spindle Of the vane on Faneull
Hall, in Boston. This spindle was a
pine stick, Of about five inches in diameter
at tie place where it was snapped OFT
, and ten feet high; the weight OF the vane
on the top of it was about thirty pounds
lie mentions, also, the bending of the
wind vanes on some high places. One
at Boston was bent, at its spindle, three
or four points Of the compass, and anoth
er, at Springfield, was bent to a righ
angle.

lst, 1915. On the 18th Of the same
month, the mos violent shock Of the
same nature recorded in the annals Of
this continent, was felt through the whole
Of this country, but particularly in the
section extending from Halifax to Chesa-
peakc Bay. The direction was from
northwest to southe ast-the time of com
mencement about minutes befor 4 o.
clock in the morning. Our old his,ori-
ans tell us, that the excitement occa-
stoned by it was such as to cause the
houses of public worship TO be frequent
ed and filed by all orders of people.
The 23d Of December following was, in
consequence Of it, observed as day oI

THE STORM.

hE cloN We
Our ship had traversed many league
Of the uuiatholned sea,
And on her homeward way had swept
With steady flight aud iiee.
Eut now hush was broodins
Der the waters and the land,
And sluggishly she lay becalmed
Close of our native strand.
She swung upon the smooth paved sea.
With canvass nll uniurled;
While not Hutiering breath Of air,
Her wning penant curlcd.
Her snow white sails tapped weariy
Against the creaking mast,
And stretched their folds in vain to catch
The whispering Of the blast.
Three days and nights hopeless calm,
Thus spread about our way,
And silent as a slumbering child
The CLASSY billows lay.
Another norn-the wind rose up
From its iorebodmg sleep,
And hurled in wrath the giant waves
Along the foaming deep.
The black and n,assy clouds bent down
And darkened all the air,
Save where the severed edges caught
The l,ghtning's blazing glare.
In vain we stroye with eager haste
To reef the swelling sail,
Our mainmast irembled like reed
Before the sudden gale.
The ship drove on as if the storm
Itself had grasped the helm;
The surging waves ben. Ger the deck
They strove to overwhelm.
And on, like clail before the wind,
Our gallant vessel bore
Uut our straining eyes beheld
The breakers OIL the shore.
She Strickland we-we perished not
Upon the desert sand;
For there were many hearts to aid
Beside that wave beat strand.
But ere the cloud paviIioned sun
Had sunk beneath the wave,
Our bark, with all her bravery on,
lad found an ocean grave.
