RELIGIOUS MISCELLANY.
JOHN HowARD--A BAPTIST.

Since. the publication of an article on
the religious character and profession of
this distinguished philanthropist, in the
Record of May 10, our attention has been
directed, by one of our Penn. missionaries
(Br. T. G. Thomas) to the following de-
:isive testimony upon the subject, given
bv Simpson, in his Plea for Religion;
j" We may add, too, that the more active,
useful, and benevolent characters, in our
own more enlightened day, have been the
frmest believers in the writings of the
Old and New Testaments. The late
John Wesley spent Ills whole life, time,
and strength, and fortune, in spreading the
knowledge of Christ and his word. The
late John Howard, Esq, was equally &C
tive in the same cause, in a way as umpire
Icedented as il was useful. He aoas firm

and the late heavy fall of snow rapldly melting,
and the river gradually rising. Should the present
favorable weather continue few days longer,
navigation will be resumed. We understand the

owing to the unfayorablc weather, was not able
to continue her voyage to Peru, where she was

NV FIRST was born like the gentle Jew,
That falls with the evening breeze;
And away with the morning m'sts 1t dew,
Far over the highest trees:
And, though but feeble child OF earth,
In the lap of the clouds II lay
Until fully fledged, when 1t started forth,
And flew with the wind away.
I, spread its downy wings with pride.
And flew with the singing gale
And scattered its feathers far and wide,
Over mountain, hull, and vale.
And hack it came TO its native place,
And many ,houghtess boy
Caush, the siittcring thing with smiling lace
And cheeks that gowcd w!a joy:
And though a cold ana capd,.ons Ting,
twas welcome to them as the flowers o. SPRING
The traveller spurred his weary steel
And his CLOAK still closer drew,
As close behind, with the whirIwiad speed,
NV SECOND appeared in view.
And the good steed every musc.c strained
10 gain the shelter nigh;
Aud the welcome retreat was hardly gained
When my SECOND came rushing by.
There was music and ni;;h il i orI!y hall,
The young, he gay aai iait,
The wealthy anl noble, at pleasure call,
And the beautiful were there.
And pleasure shonc from many an eye,
With the light of precious gem,
And they needed not when my WHOLE went by,
For it brought no grief to them.
The widow sat by her dcsola.c hearth
And watched the expiring flame,
And sadly to her the voice OF mirth
From the house Of ieastlng came.
For her flthcrcss children had cried for bread,
And she looked with a troubled eye
And her face grew pale with fear and dread,
As my WHOLE went bowling by.
o! dark indeed to the troubled soul
Of the homeless aud destitute IS my WHOLE.

the fitness ofour soil and climate for its profitable
