A VOICE FROM THE WEST.
Hark!-heard you not, as the breeze swept by,
That PIalntive moan as of deep distress?
Twas the wall of soul in its agony.
And it comes from the western wilderness.
1t comes from those dark recesses where
The Indian dWells in his gloom profound;
No hymn of praise but the death-song there,
And the frghtful war-whoop rings around
1t comes from the tombS Of the slaughtered brave;
1t comes from the wigW am wild and rude:
1t comes from the chieftains lonely grave;
1t comes from the western solitude.
IT'S the wall of soul as 1t speeds away
To its dark abode Of eternal night;
And it speaks with rcproof-and It seems 10 say,
AS it flies Ger this Christian land Of light
go, you who have heard OF the God a1ove,
And the doom of the sinfu--whv, o why
You vino have heard of Saviour'S love-
Have you suffered the Indian thus to die:"
Wake, Christians wake from your stumble, deep
Go to the help of the wrctched-go!
Look on their mIsery-look and weep!
They have Savlour-teIl them so!
Tell them how Jesus for them hath died:
Who longs to embrace them, aAI will forgive:
Point them to Jesus Crucihed:
Tel them on Jesus to look and live.
Tell them, although by the " hite men driven
Far from the home where their fathers dWelt--
Of farer land, and a home in heaven,
Where foes shall Cypress net, nor wrong be felt.

TOWNSHEND ACADEMY.
On the 18th ult. the students of this
Academy gave public exhibition of their
improvement in the art of elocution, and
manifested a degree of intellectual taste
and mental vigor altogether gratifying to
their parents and friends.
Such pieces were selected in prose and
poetry, in dialogue and defamation, as
were calculated to call into action most OF
the prominent passions of the heart, and
the parts were generally so we'll sustained
as to give great satisfaction to the over
flowing audience that attended, and to re-
feet great honor upon the principal and

France, died on Monday p NJ, 23d inst,
at his seat at Red Hook, in his seventy
second year. He was seized on Sa,ur-

On Saturday morning last, about o.
clock, the Baptist Westinghouse in Wor-
cester was totally destroyed by fire, with
all the furniture, books, &C., including
the large Sabbath School Library recently
procured. 1t was doubtless the work Of
an incendiary. No insurance. $1,000

Early in the forenoon, accommodations
were generously offered for the congrega

ANOTHER POWDER PLOT.

Tie Cleveland (Ohio) Advertiser Of the
2Sth ult. says-"About two O'Clock this morn
ing, another attempt wac made to blow up
the bridge connecting this and Ohio city,
which we regret to say, was attended with
more success than the former one. 1t seems
that hole had been made in the solid stone
nbunncnt wall, on the Ohio city side, in
which was placed keg of powder, which ex-
ploded, throwing portion Of the wall into
the river; some of the stones forcing their
way up through the plank flooring Of the
bridge. The frame work of the bridge is not
materially injured, and il is still in passable
state. The shock was so violent as TO awak-
en- all those residing near the bridge. Three
men were seen by a resident Of Ohio city to
run past his house, soon after the explosion,
from the bridge toward the centre of the city,
but there was not light enough to identify
them"

to learned lawyer or doctor. There is
a want of self-respect manifested IN this
anxiety Oh the part of mechanics To make
professional men Of their sons, which
canno, command appreciation. 'l'h1 OIL,
title to responsibility, or distinction, which
we recognise, is merit, and We regard the
mechanic who understands his business
well. and performs its duties faithfully, as
Just as much entitled to the favorable con-
the member of the most distinguished
profession.
! Let us look abroad into society, and
examine who the persons are that consti-
tutc the most useful portion of it. Are
thew the nominal members OF the learned
professions, lawyers without brief, or
doctors without patients? :? Certainly not.
On the other hand, are there hot those
who have become proficient, and consc.
quently successful in the pursuits which
they may have selected "a best suited to
their peculiar talents? Now, our notion
is, that honor and shame from 10 condi-
ton risc," and that when our parts are
well played, =" there all the honor lies"
1t must not be supposed that we entertain,
the opinion. that a man Of peculiar talent
and fitness for intellectual pursuits is not
to be introduced into a profession, merely
because his fathcr may have exercised a
mechanical calling. So far from it,when-
ever such is the case, we would say, that
it is the duty of the parent to fit his off,
spring for the honorable discharge Of the
dutics of the station in which he may be-
come most useful to his fellow men. All
that we intend to object TO, is, that men
who are entitled to respect, and receive II
at the hands of all who may be acquainted
with them, should be so far wanting in a
proper appreciation of themselves, as to
imagine that they will add to their respec.
liability, by placing their children in pro-
fessions,fo which they have no particular
turl, aid in which they can never hope t.
be distinguished, when if inclination or
mental fitness were duly considered, they
might be instructed in some one of the
mechanic arts, in which their excellence
would confer upon them the highest rank.
Nor are the professions SO favored in
proftableness as to entitle them to the
preference to which we have alluded. Ii
is true that it looks wonderfully well for a
doctor to get his fee for n prescription, or
u lawyer to be well paid for speech, but
this is only one side ofthe picture. Let
us for moment think Of the exposure OF
health, and loss of rest which the physI.
cian undergoes, who has full practice
let us reflect upon the hours spent by the
lawyer over his books, during the hours
when all the world is asleep, and the con.
scquent destruction Of health, and then
let US say Oh which side the profit lies
when all is taken into consideration -
Compared with these, We should say, the
tranquil minds and quiet nights of the
mechanic, are infinitely preferable, willis,
OH the score ofutility, the comparison il
not less in his favor"
