'a HYMN.
Heavenly Father! in whose sight -
Darkness flashes into light,
Gracious. from thy throne ON high
Cast on me plying eye:
See my soul in anguish tost,
Lost to peace, to virtue lost,
Struggling with its wershty chain,
Struggling ever, but in vain;
As some wretch, the tempest Ger,
Labors to regain the shore,
So, my God, my spirit tries
From the sea Of vice to rise.
Still my powers are weak to save,
Still pursues some stronger wave,
And, with resistless sweep,
Whelms me In the foaming deep.
Long the dupe Of human pride,
Have on myself relied;
Long sustained tn unequal strife
That defended more than life;
BY such weak allies betrayed,
Now no more I trust their aid,
But to safer refuge flee,
Resting all my hopes on the Thee.
God of love! my faults forgive,
Bid me hope. and bid me live!
Let some dawn Of light control
TDis long darkness Of the soul;
From the temple Of my heart,
Bid each grovelIing thought depart,
And TO guard its peace supply
Steadfast faith and holy joy:
Meek repentance, in whose eyes
Tears Of true contritiOn rise;
Gratitude. whose hands are prest
Duteous on her feeling breast;
These shall 10 Thy sacred way
Guide my feet. long prone to stray.
Till, each meaner passion o'er,
NAV tempt thy frown no more;
Nor, Of youth and visor vain,
Sow in sin, to reap in pain.
Swiftly Ay the rolling year!
Till that happier morn appear
Tha; my nobest hopes shall see
Centred, D my Cad! in Thee!
Tha, shall teach my thoughts to rise
Ger the world and all its joys;
Bend Obcdient to thy laws;
Feel the worth of seif.applause;
N0blv scorn each meaner care,
Aud in conscious virtue dare
All that comes in misery's train,
Sickness, poverty, and pain,
Needless Of the hour Of fate,
And prepared for either state.

FACTS FOR VIRGINIA.

Manufactures in Tirginia.-The town Of
Wheeling has, for a few years past, increased
in wealth and population with astonishing rapid
t.; fact which is mainly, if not al together, at
trlbutable to the numerous manufactures carried
on in that place. While other places have been
languishing, while their population has been al
stand, or decreasing, the enterprise OF WeeelIng
has attracted to her, artisans Of every description
who have brought With them skill industry and
numbers.
We have at different times seen specimens OF
Wheeling manufacture in glass, iron &c. which
might challenge competition with any in the
Union, if not in the world.
The cut glass Of Wheeling and Weilsourg'
we have seen exhibited upon the side-boards IN
Washington city and elsewhere, as rare speci.
mems of skill and beauty.
II would be a cause resulting 10 great good,
could the example Of Wheeling be followed by
other towns Of Virginia, and we trust the time
+. not distant when this spirit OF enterprise will
diffuse itself far and wide in the Old Dominion.

Cholera.- Apprehension of the return of the

The sentiment may have salutary effect, IN
producing special attention to diet and cleanli'

an epidfmic; the atmospheric influences aud
slight disorders which are its usual precursors do
not now exist; should il appear. it will be spora-
