The QuaLers.--In the Ohio Legisla-
turc there has recently been an animated
debate on the subject of incorporating a
Society of Friends, or Quakcrs. 1t rose,
of course, out of pecuniary interest the
Society being divided, each party claim
ing the exclusive right of its funds or
rather, one party claiming them, and the
other resisting the claim.
We regret extremely to see dissensions
among this class Of christians, for we
think, there are none who better practice
the principles of christianity in spirit and
in truth, than the Friends. Penn was
the only man who was completely sue
cessiul in his negotiations with the In
dams. We hope his spirit has not de-
parted from his sect and trust none OF
the recusant Quakers of Ohio, will be so
sarage as to refuse to be reconcilcd to
the spirit of their creed, which requires
them TO be at peace with all men'.--Bos-

Prosperity Of Philadeiphia.--We hear
Of the prosperity of no city in the Union,

reason perhaps may be that it is truly and
purely an american city. We are there
fore pleased to learn that its streets are
almost impossible, on account Of double
and treble rows of packages prepared for
inland transportations; that building pro-
crosses with unexampled rapidity; and
that the whole city presents scene OF

From the Boston Christian Waterman.
THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Morn cometh th;-beautilul and bright
II sits on forest, hill and lake;
IL g'addens nature with its light;
AL natures melodies awake.
Sweet the aerial warblct's song,
And sweet the mingled notes Of pleasure,
Breathed from the countless living tlTOng,
Telling fgoodaess in large measure.
Here the Creators glory shines;
Where'er we gaze, we may behold
His praises writ in living lines;
But his great love remains untold.
Say. hast thou weary visils known,
Or trodden unknown ways by night?
How leaped thy heart when morning shone;
How gladly didst thou hail its light!
But darker night the spirit knows,
Clouded by sin and passions power,
No hope lis cheering radiance throws,
But sadly rolls the heavy hour.
Time was when follys itful light
Could wake that spirit up to Joy,
Could make all earthly things look bright,
And lead il on from toy to toy.
But that delusive light is quenched;
That comfort now has passed away;
The recklcssness Of soul is benched;
Thick darkness broods where danced the day.
And is that spirit dead to joy'
And may il never wake again.
Shall praises ne'er that tongue employ,
Silent in darkness and in pain.
Peace, impious thought! light shall arise;
In that dark soul joys shall abound,
Brighter than when, with glad surprise,
The weary traveller has found.
His many thoughts of dangers vain,
And, where he feared the dreary wild,
Morn has unveiled the pleasant plain.
And on the quiet hamlet smiled.
And all the birds that wing the heaven,
Can make no music like the voice
That speaks the penitent forgiven,
And makes his inmost soul rejoice.
From Calvary's brow the light shall shine,
TO break the gloom of that dark hour;
And thence bleeding form divine
Utter the words Of blessed power.
Look up, thou bowed one--thither turn,
And when these wonders meet thy gaze,
Oh may thy heart within thee burn,
While musing thy Redeelner's praise.
Then the creations glories fade;
The robes Of princely grandeur fall,
Sin-bound! thy priceless ranson's paid,
Thy Saviour God is all in all!
