Religious Miscellany,
Female Piety.

The gem of all others which encir.
eles the coronet of a lady's character, is
unaffected piety. Nature may lavish
much on her person-the enchantment of
the countenance, the gracefulness of her
mlen, or the strength Of her intellect. vet
her loveliest is uncrowned till piety throws
around the whole the sweetness and now
er of her charms. She then becomes un-
earthly in her temper, unearthly In her
desires and associations. The spell which
bound her affections to things below, is
broken, and she mounts on the silent
wings of her fancy and hope to the hab-
itation of God, where il will be her de-
light to hold communion with the spirits
that have been ranso ned from the thral-
dom of earth, wreathed with garland of
glory.
Her beauty may throw its magical
charm over many-princes and conquer
ors may bow with admiration at the shrine
OF her riches; the sons of science and DO
etry may embalm her memory in song,
yet piety must be her ornament, her pearl.
Her name must be written in the 'book
OF lie" that when mountains fade away.
and every memento of earthly greatness
is lost in the general wreck of nature, it
may remain and swell the list of that
mighty throng, which had been clothed
with the mantle of righteousness, and
heaven.
With such treasure, every lofty graf!
lhcation on earth may be purchased;
friendship will be doub!y sweet-and the
character. will possess a price far above
rubies; life will be but a visit to earth.
and death the enterance upon a ioyfui
and perpetual home. When the notes of
the last trumpet shall be heard, and sleen.
Ing millions awake 10 judgment, its nos
SCISSOR shall be presented faultless before
the throne Of God with exceeding ioy.
and crown of life that shall never wear
away. Such is piety> Like tender
flower, planted in the fertile soil of wo-
mans heart it grows, expanding its fol-
iage, and imparting its fragrance to all
around, till transplanted it is set to bloom
in perpetual beauty, in. the paradise OF
God.
Follow the star, it will light you thro'
every labyrinth in the wilderness of life
gid the gloom that will gather around
you in dying hour, and bring you safe
~ over the tempestuous Jordan of death,
into the haven Of promised rest.-Dan.

In closing, for the present. I will bare
ly say that do not recollect the occasion
to which brother Fletcher alludes, when
the unworthy motive of which he speaks
was attributed to him. Sure / am, it was
no general imputation. Those who have
ever heard me speak of brother Fletcher,
in private, will bear me witness that I
hold him among my dear friends. I GER
talnly have great confidence in his moral
courage, generally. If I have at any
time discovered in him any thing that ap-
peared to me not to comport well with his
general character, on this point. it would
be very much like me, I suppose, to
"speak right out, and rebuke him. If
/ have at any time, in doing this, failed TO
manifest spirit of love and good will, |
ask forgiveness. | have no "thrusts to
make. Any deserved castigations shall
be received patiently. Any error pointed
out shall be abandoned promptly.

TOKENS OF PERDITIoN.-The first
token OF peTdition is bad habits; such as
protane swearing, drunkenness, uncleau-
ness, associating with loose company, and
the like. This is the broad road 10 per-
dition. These habits bespeal one already
far advanced in the course to ruin-a con-
science seared-a soul abandoned of God.
They harden the heart, grieve The spirit
away, remove from all the means of SAL
walton and betoken a rapid approach to
that moment when the measures of INF
guilty shall be full. us
The next token of perdition is that dis
play OF character which betrays false
hope and a false profession L believe
there is no instance recorded in the bible
of a sinners being rescued from false
hope, unless 1t was founded on the belief
of a false religion In the short period
which have had to make my observa-
tions, Il recolect very few instances Of
persons apparently renewed after they had
settled down for years upon a false hope,
and with that hope had joined the church.
Indeed recollect but one. I would rath-
er undertake to convince ten fnfidels, than
to demolish one false hope intrenched be-
hind the pale of the church. Il is easy
to shake the hope Of 4 humble Christian
but to tear away the confidence of one
who makes hope his God ins.ead of MAX
ing God his hope, is task too mighty
for an arm Of flesh.
The display of character which be.
speaks false hope and false profession,
indicating perdition, is haired Of the ruth

LETTER FROM MIR. HAGUE.

The following interesting letter from
our esteemed brother, was kindly forward
ed to US by Rev. M. NJ. Dean, pastor of
the Third Baptist Church in Providence,
to whom it was addressed. 1t ,evinces so
much of the christian spirit and discrim-
mating mind of the author, and such an
increasing attachment to the simplicity
and purity of our primitive faith and or
der, that it will be. read with deep inter-
est. 1t will be seen that the date is some
'time subsequent to those now publishing
in regular correspondence, as the latter
were considerably delayed by the various
Instructions which exist to the free and
rapid circulation of intelligence.-G.

joys OF THE SPIRIT.-Never expect
much of the JOY of the Holy Ghost if
your heart and mind De occupied in the
enjoyment of sense. The Joy of the
Spirit is a delicate, sacred deposit and
must be kept in pure casket, An unho-
ly breath will dim Its lustre and fade its
freshness. The joys of sense, even the
most lawful of them, are agitating, tumul-
tuous, and unsatisfactory. The Joy of The
Spirit is calming, modest, Strengthening.
eievating and satisfying. The joys of
sense, at the best, enervate, lower, and i'm
poverish the soul The joys of the Spirit
ennoble and enrich it.-CeciL.

pate much happiness in cooperating with

The importance of renewed and Vig-
orous efforts on the part of our churches
to make Rhode-Island what it oughtto be,
has appeared to me in more and more
impressive aspects since I have reached
Europe. Christians here have such dim
views of religious liberty, and think OF
religion SO much as part of state policy,
that it seems to me long time must
elapse before the spirituality Of the christ
ian dispensation will be generally under
stood. In conversation I have had occa-
sion frequently to refer TO the principles

of Christian hopes. looking beyond the
grave: the mist of doubt and perpIexities
dlssipated in the meridian splendor Of the
gospel trnth; the storms of life softeninr
into silence; the delirium of pleasure
and the dreams Of dissipation fled, and
the freed mind resigned to the dictates of
reason: and the wounds of conscience
cured by the balm of eternal love; the
heart, lacerated by the loss of those once
so dear to us, patiently waiting in full ex-
pectation OF reunion never more TO be
broken; every angry passion hushed into
peace; the evils of life sunk into resiena-
ton TO the divine will; the feryent de-
sires of the renovated heart approaching
to the verge of never-ending enioyments,
and the whole soul reposing on the bosom
