Sir Thomas Brown, who wrote Il most eio-
qnent essay on Umburial, has remarked with
equal quaintness and justice, "Egyptan in
genuity was more unsatisfed cortriving their
bodies in sweet constituencies, to attend the
return Of their souls. But all was vanity,
feeding the wind with folly. The Egyptian
mummies which Cambyses OF time hath spared
avarlce now consumeth. Mummy has be-
come merchandise, Mi2raim cures acoutdS,
and Pharaoh as sold for balsams."

fountain ilom which spring all the other gra-
ccS that adorn the .phlanthroplst, or beauufy
the christian character. 1t is the tender cord
which binds our hearts to the land which gave
us birth-to the romantic scenes OF childhood
and w hich often causes the Way-Worn tray
elcr to pause, and in Imagination to retrace
his steps, and drink in the sweet recollectlons
of the past. 1t is the endearng tie which
unites the parent to his offspring, the obedlent
child to her who handled him upon the lap OF
maternal affection, who watched over HIM III
the hours of helpless infancy, administered to
his necessities, and impaired to him suitable
instruction to prepare him for the trials OF ma
turer years.
1t is manifested III the various relations
which we entertain towards each other as
members ofthc great human family, -without
It
The world were but Wilderness of woe,
A waste, where sorrows would forever grow,
And every pleasure fade and die
It is the irresistible impulse which prompts
the Youthful actor on the stage Of life, to seek
some fair being to unite her heart to his-to
minple with him in the pleasures of. life, and
to participate with him IN the sorrows OF the
same. 1t is this undyng principle which IN
duces the way-worl soldier to leave his home
and family, and in the ardor OF patriotic zeal,
to unsheath the sword in defence Of his cou-
rvs cause The missionary OF the cross Is
acttlated by this halowlng emotion, III lcav-
ING his native land, and all the endearnents
of civilized life, and in the SPIRIT OF true pint
anthropy, going forward to erect the standard
of christianity, in those parts Of the world,
where idolatrv and superstition had darkencd
fha minds of The deluded inhabitants
1t is found in all nations and III every class
of society-among the unciviized rs we'll as
among their more highly favored brethren,
upon whom the sun of divine revelation has
arisen, and by his cheering rays, lighted up
the pathway of life, and pointed to IA resting
place beyond the grave. Even the red men
of the western wlIds meekly bow to its scep-
tire and feel its tender emotions, calming the
warning passionsof the soul.
But it is in the social circle where youth,
beauty, and virtue inoct together, tllat Its
mighty aud restless influences ,,re more ScnS-
bly, felt, producing those deep and lasting mn
pressions, which the changing scenes OF alter
years are unable to eradicate. And not unlre-
yr1entIy are those impressions so deeply fixed
N the mind, us to cause the unstable youth,
{ disappointed in gaining the object Of his
love, to drown his sorrow by the Intoxicating
1raught, or to draw the suicidal weapon, and
put and end to his own existence.
Unenvlous IS the situation OF him who has
never experienced the undylng emotion, who
has never !elt the powerful and unconqutra-
bic effects OF this noblest and strongest passion
OF the human mind. J. w. l..
