and this not out of dlsrespect, but only because
they had never been trained to better manners
! These things ofen oppressed him so much that
he gave over in despair, believing that it would
not be possible for him, ever to address the In
dians again. Such were a few Of the difficult
ties he had to encounter, and these were IN
creased thousand Sold by the agency of white
men.no, only by the inlamy which their frauds
and exlOrtlons associated with the name of
Christians in the minds of the Indians, but by
the direct resistance which they offered TO ele-
waiting race, whom they considered as their
prey. So it has always been, on the frontiers,
with the whiles---all that is vile in them, is
brough, out in bold relief, aud they are apt to
DE strangers to common humanity and shame.
He gives minute account of his difficulties
and discouragements which it is necessary to
know in order 10 do justice TO his strength of
heart. The Indians were spriiless and va
cant race, except when under the influence Of
some strong excitement, at such times they
thought and acted with energy and decision
while al others, they were wholly destitute Of
animation In addition TO his preaching, which
did little more than call their attention TO the
subject, he was obliged to catechse and con-
verse with them day after day. He was ex-
pec;ed to arrange all their difficulties, TO pro-
vide for their wants aud to attend to their al
fairs of every description. 1t may easily be
conceived, that while he was compelled TO
bear this burden, and at The same time to ride
1000 miles year, for the necessary purpose
of his mission, his duties were quite as exIen-
sive as one man can be expected to do. His
declining health compelled him in April l747,
to leave the Forks of Delaware and return to
New England, where he died October 9th Of
the same year. The principal building of La
Faye,te College at Easion is called Brainerd
Hail." after this devoted servant of God.

The Sabbath Bell.

low sweetly through the heightened dell,
When wintry airs are mild and clear,
loats Ginning up the Sabbath bel,
In softened echoes TO the ear!
"Come, gentle neighbours, come away"
SO doth the welcome summons say;
"Come, friends and kindred, 'tis the time
So seems to peal the Sabbath chime.
:one are the weeks debasing cares,
And worldly ways. and worldly will;
nd earth itself an aspect wears
Like heaven, so bright, so calm and still
Hark, how, by turns. each mellow note;
Now low, now louder, seems to float,
And falling, with the winds decay,
Like soitest music, dies away
'ind now,' it says, "where Heaven resorts,
Come, with meek and quiet mind;
@, worship in these earthly courts,
But leave your earth-born thoughts behind"
Come, neighbours, while the sabbath bell
'eals slowly up the winding dell,-
Come, friends and kindred, let US share
The pure and holy rapture there.

WHO Is THIS CONTRyyEH.

In many instances, is only by the bees travelling
from flower TO flower, that the pollen or farina is
carried from the male to the female Sewers. without
which. they would not fructfy. One species OF bee
would not be sufficient TO Guctify all the various
sorts o: flow ers, were the bees orhat species
so numerous, for it require, species of different
sizes and different constructions. NJ. Sprengel
found that, ''not only are insects indispensable in
ructfyiug different species Of iris, but that some of
them las Xiphium, require the agency ofthe larger
humble bees. which alone strong enough TO
force their way between the style-1ag; and hence,
as these insects are not so common many others,
this Iris Is often barren, OF bears imperfect seeds"
This simple announcement proves to my under
standing, nconestby; the existence and presence %
Deity in creation because see here an impor-
tant end, clearly involving design, accomplished by
agents altogether unconscious ofthe service in which
they are engaged. The bee, performing, all IN
consciously itself the work of fructticatlon OF the
Aowers and the provision of bees of different
weights for s,le-hags of different strengths. bespeak,
in language irresistible, the hand and mind of an in
tegent contriver.
And who is this contriver? 1t is not man.
There is only one answer sble,-it is the Deity;
and one object of his selecting such a method for
operating, appears TO have been, to speak home to
the understandings of men concerning his own pres
ence, power, and wisdom Nature is abso utely
overHowing with similar examples. Combe.

DIVINE ORIGIN OF THE SOUL.

For The world, | count it not an inn, but an
hospital, and place, not to live but to die in
The world that regard is myself; it is the mi
crocosm of mine own frame, that cast mine eye
on for the other, use it but like my globe, and
turn it round sometimes for my recreation. Men
that look upon my outside, pursuing only my
condition and fortunes, do err in my altitude; for
am above Atlas his shoulders. The earth is a
point not only in respect of the heavens above
us, but of that heavenly and celestial part within
US. That mass of flesh that circumscribes me,
limits not my mind. That surface that tells the
heavens it hath an end, cannot persuade me ]
haye any Whilst l study to find how l am a
mcrocosm, or little world, find myself some
thing more than the great. There is surely a
piece ofdivinIty in us, something that was before
the elements, and owes no homage unto the sun.
Nature tells me that am the image of God, as
we'll as Scripture. He that understands not thus
much, hath not his introduction or first lesson,
and is yet to begin the alphabet of man.

FOR THE TELEGRAPH.

The silver trumpet = heavenly eau
Sounds for the poor, but sounds alike for all.
Kings are invited, and would kings obey,
No slaves OF earth more welcome were than
they.-Cowper.
The declaration of the Apostle, That not ma
ny wise men after the flesh, not many mighty,
not many noble, are called, has been true in all
ages But few of this class have been disposed
to humble themselves at the foot of the cross and
accept of the terms of reconciliation to Ged, pro-
posed to them in the Gospel There are indeed
some illustrous exceptions-and such is the
strong hold that pride, in its ten thousand forms,
has in the hearts, even of Christians, that we
sometimes hear them quote the names ofSir Isaac
Newton, Robert Boyles and others, as giving
kind of sanction, or comforting an honor, upon
the religion which they professed-when these
very men would themselves have acknowledged
that the only element oftrue greatness in their
character, the only thing which could have saved
their souls from perdition, was the subjugation Of
their hearts and intellectual powers to the doc
trnes of the cross. What melancholy proof of
mans fallen nature, that he should need the ex-
hortaton, not to be ashamed of Christ and his
humble followers. What ashamed Of him who
is the " true God and eternal Lfe?' Ashamed
of those who are united to him as the branch is
united to the Vne-the members to the Head
who are joint heirs with him to an incorruptible
CROWN We should think this an insult to the
understanding, did not the Bible and observation
prove 1t to be true. But the Christian forms DIFF
ferent estimate Of character. He meets broth
er, we will suppose at the sacramental board, and
though he may know him to possess but moiety
ofntellect, and though his complexion may par
take of the red, or even of the Ethiopian hue, the
fact that Christ has loved him, and given himself
for him, would send thrill Of pleasure through
his heart, and the very circumstances which form
a barrier to his recognition by the world, will pro-
ducc stronger affinity of Christian feeling to-
wards him. But this initiates nothing against
the importance of Christians avaiiipg themselves
of every influence within their reach, in favor of
Christianity. In the language of another,-"l If
knowledge is power, then ought Christians to be
its masters knowledge ought to be gained, taste
ought to be cultivated, the imagination invigora-
ted, and poetry made the common element of the
soul; because the Christian of knowledge, taste,
and poetic feeling, mas power over h'' ieiio" oe
ings. that no other individual can have. lie can
wind his way into the heart of deP7avlty, and
place Gods own truth even there, where it is ha-
ted, when another Christian of equally benevo-
lent desires, but not possessing the command OF
these avenues, would utterly fail. What mingled
mistakes and guilt, therefore, is the crusade
which sometimes has been raised against polite
literature, poetry, works ofmaginatlon, and re-
fined taste.

EARLY EDUCATION.

Exercise is as essential 10 the health and
vgor of the brain under years of age,as at any
other time of life but it should be the general and
pleasurabe exercise of observation and action. 1t
ought not to be the compulsory exercise OF task
Early prodigies of mind, rarely attain mature dis
tinction The reason is plain. Their brains are
injured by premature toll and general health I'M
paired. From an unwise attempt to convert at once,
their howery spring into a uxuriant summer, that
summer, too often never arrives. The blossom
wthers ere the fruit is formed. For these reasons,
have never been an advocate of"lnfant Schools
Unless they conducted with great discretionthey
cannot fail to eventuae in mischief. They should
be nothing but schools Of pleasurabe exercise, hav
ing little to do with books.
1t is not the mind, but the brain, the master or
gan of the system, essential to the well-beng and
efficiency of every other part ii, that tolls and is
oppressed in the studies ofthe schools. Nor, ten
der and feeble as it is is possible for it to endure
the labor often imposed on it, without sustaining
irreparable injury no less subversve of mental than
of corporeal soundness and vigor.
no longer overload he brains of their mere babes
with study, any more ;han they wond their half or
ganized muscles and joints with unmercful burdens
of brick and mortar They would even know that
the latter would be the least destructive practice of
the two. Under such circumstances we should
hear no more of the Boys Book and the ''Grl's
Book" and the "ChiId's Own Book with such
other slip-shod, catch-penny trash, as now encum-
bers our bookstores and parlors. These would all
be exchanged for the Book of Nature, which is,
truly, the "Child's Own Book and which being
traced for that purpose, by the Divinity Himself,
is iaultessIy prepared
Instead of seeing infants confined to inaction in
crowded school-rooms, with saddened looks, moist
eyes, and aching heads, we should then meet them
in gardens and lawns, groves and pleasure grounds
breathing wholesome air, eapng, laughing, shout
ing, cropping flowers pursuing butterflies, collecting
and looking at curious and beautiful insects and
stones, listening TO bndi-soDg', singing themselves,
admrng the bright blue arch of the heavens
gazi"g a, the thckenng folds of the tbun-
der-cloud and doing all other things fitted to
PToHlole HftltI, ueNelope anu strengthen their
frames and prepare them for the graver business of
after. life. And. instead of pale faces faced flesh
and wasted bodies, we should find them with ruddy
cheeks, firm muscles and full and well rounded
limbs.
Exercises and pasmes such as these constitute
the only ''inlant SCHOOL, that deserves to be en-
coumged nor will any other sort receive encour-
agement, when the business Of education shall be
thoroughly understood.

If protesting Christians, instead ofseeking to
shield themselves whilst remaining at an infinite
distance from their Saviour by perverting and ar
guing away the force of the planest requirements
of the Bible, would but seek after the high bless
ing they disallow, there would be vastly more OF
vital goodness in the world than now prevails.
