FRIENDSHIP.
RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED TO w =. B.,-PunApELPHn
FRrENpsHp would sing thy praise
Sweet as song of bright cascade,
Or the wind in wintry days,
Signing O. er tkc cherries glade:
For thou dost merit melodous strain,
Forth issuing from my heart
Which hath known how fair thou art
And what Joy thy smiles impart
Through thy reign
But my verse hath not the powr,
Sweetness and sublmity,
That-when clouds of sorrow low'r,
Or when pleasure dwells with me
May tell how lofiilv thy worth deem;
Still my heart inspires my song,
And as glides the strain along
OH feel my soul grow strong,
In the theme
When at evenings silent time,
Resting on the downy grass,
MY friend and saw sublime
Clouds of gold and purple pass
Or, turnd to view the landscape spreading wide,
Glowing in the rosy light =
Then more charming, and more BRIGHT
Natures beauty met my sight
In her pride

And when summers tempest came
Fearful DER the frowning mount,
With its thunder and It's flame
While the heavens open fount
Poured forth the sparkling and rcsstlcss rain -
Oh the scenes submity
In full power was felt by me,
For, my friend stood with thee
Once again.
Thus, whatever Joys I've known,
Friendship hath increased them still,
And when sorrow babe me moan,
Friendship moderated i'll -

For then Ia me light Were gloom,
And the world a cherries tomb

THE BRIDE.
BY cHARLEs JKFFREYs.
Oh.take her, but be faithful still,
And may the bridal vow
Be sacred held in after years, W /,
al And warmly breathed as now.
Remember, tits no common tie IS.
That binds your faithful heart
'Tis one that only truth should weave,
And only death can part.
The joys Of childhood's happy hour,
The home Of ripper years,
The treasured scenes Of early youth,
In sunshine and in tears:
The purest hopes her bosom knew,
When her young heart was free,
All these, and more she now resigns,
To brave the world with thee.
Her lot in life is fix'd with thine,
Its good and i'll to share,
And well / know twill be her pride
To soothe each sorrow there.
Then take her, and may fleeting time
Mark only Joys increase,
And may your days glide sweetly on
In happiness and peace.

THE YOUNG GIRLS QUESTION.

Mother, what IL he TO me!
know not bow II Is, but I have gazed
For hours from ont my lattice watching him,
And yet vert thon 70 ask me why twas 60,
Indeed, indeed, Iccnld not answer thee!
But when view biz neat light form afar,
Or hear his free step as he neareth me.
Ny heart leaps up and Autters like bird,
Pleased By some simple token Of regard
Given By its mistress. But do not think
Fen for moment, that it springs from love;
For if it did, how wildly should I talk
To him and others Of him all day long;
Instead of which cannot speak to him,
And if he speak, cannot answer him
When he is near the words refuse to dow,
And / become all thought. Sometimes he sits
Beside me, as If sad, and nothing says,
But looks into my eyes as he would read
A something written there; and then feel
Half pleased, half vexed, and fain would turn
away,
But that fear perchance might offend;
And that you know, dear mother, would be
wrong. s.
But think not that love lin. Oh no, indeed
For when he sits by cousin Eleanor,
sigh, and wish my cousin was not quite
So very beautiful, or else that
Were beautiful az ae. Now, if loved,
OF course, you know, 'twould be my fondest wish
To see him welded to SO fair girl
As my sweet cousin Eleanor. For then
He too would be my cousin. And the world
Would never dare to chide me i'll sought
To see them often. Not that love him
For love, they tell me, lifts the spirits up
With most rapturous joy, whene'er the form
OF the most loved one to the quicl<cned sense
Is visible. But, tits not so with me,
For the hot blood comes rushing DER tho brow
If he but whisper low a single word;
And when force reply, dare not raise
My eyes to his, but cast them to the ground
In very shame for tones so tremulous,-
Mother. dear mother! what is he to me,
For well thou know'st it cannot be love!

oon. Attached to the people Of God,

'ment abounds in allusions to the HOLY

leter, +: 2l, by the Hol Y Ghost Hence
thestweIve must have been Gentiles, and
not Jews, and as John baptized none but
Jews. they could moi have been Johns
disciples.
With the views generally held by the
Bapiists, have equal difficulty, for
|. That the pronoun, they refers to
the 'twelve,' and not to the people who
heard John preach, is evident from the
fact, that Paul laid his hands On Them
&c. Besides, the twelve are the SUBJ
3ect of discourse, and the 4th verse is mere
ly thrown in to show the difference be-
tween Johns commission, and that of the
ministers Of Christ. The PLAIN natural
reading would make they refer to the
twelve Or the certain diScipIes,' men

2. The apps lie mu>t be guilty of eyre
gieus lautology, if he meant tbeY' to re-
fer to the people, Let us paraphrase
the All verse Then said Paul, john,
saying 20 the people, SC Verify bap-
itized them, &c. Verse ). and when they
heard Il. G. his suyings) they were ia p
tlzed, &c. This is merely saying in the
4lh verse, that John baptized The people,
and IN the 9Th verse, that the people, acre
baptized by John. Such another instance
OF mere repetition, cannot be found in all
the writings Of the apostles.
The pain, unsophiStcated truth 10 nv
mind is this; ApoIos who was doubtless
one Of Johns disciples, had just been
preaching at Ephesus-see chap, viii
"a, and as some believed, be knew from
the practlce Of John, that they should i'm
Immediately be baptized, and, as he knew
nothing of Christ's last commission 10 bap-
iIze Ia the name Of The Trinity, he bap-
tzed unto Johns baptsm,' or as near as
he could like John This he had no right
to do, for John had 10 right, that we know
OF, 10 commission any 10 baptlz". But
above all. the name Of the Trinity being
completed by the resurrection, ascension
and exaltaion of Christ, none could mom
receive gospel baptism without being iul-
merSed into the name of the Father, Son
and Holy Ghost; which, certainly, had
not been done In the case of the twelve
Hence, Paul would have them understand
that, though they had been baptized, still
not being baptized into the name of Christ
they were not legally baptized. Wher
they heard this, they were baptized in tn,
name of the Lord Jesus j. t. 0ctordin!

E appreciation Of mOncsSentialiSm, ancient o
