The RUSSIAN CLERGY.-The Rus.
slams themselves allow that their clergy
are deplorably ignorant; and in many
cases coarse and vicious This is pretty
well borne out by the fact, that they are
never admitted into society, unless their
presence is requested, at some religious
ceremony or festival. The anecdote rela-

man, will give good idea of the degrade

Dost thou not love. in the season Of spring,
To twins thee aowsry wreath,
And to see the beautiful birch.tres fling

Its glossy leaf, and its silyery stem;
Oh, dost thou rot love 10 look On theml
And dost thou not love when leaves are greonest,
And summer has just begun,
When in the silence Of moonlight thou leancst,
Where glistcuing waters run,
To see, by that gentle and peaceful beam,
The willow bent down to the sparkling stream1
Aud OH in lovely autumnal day,
When leaves arc changing before thee,
Do not natures charms, as they slowly decay,
Shed their own mild influence o'cr theei
And hast thou not felt, as thou stood ct to gaze,

It should be thus, at an age like thine;
And Il has been thus with me;
When the freshness Of feeling s. heart were mine,

Yet think not ask thee to pity my lot,
Perhaps see beauty where thou dost not.
Hast thou seen, in winters stormiest day

Round which luxuiant ivy had grown,
And wreathed 1t with verdure no longer It's ON n

Oh! smile not, nor think il a worthless thing,
If II be with instruction fraught

The drunkard's selfdespair arises in a
great measure, from the conviction that
he is an outcast from The public respect
and sympathy. Ofthis weSbught to be
aware IN our attempts to reclaim him !;
and to seek to convince him, that, as to
ourselves at least, this conviction shall
henceforth be groundIess Great pains
should be taken TO pursuade him that we
are his friends, and that every improve
ment in his habits, however slight, will
proportionably and promptly elevate him
in our esteem. We should also cheer

by which we can gain his confidence
for in no way can mems hearts be so
surely won, as by submitting TO obvious
self-denial for their sake.

on the Mapping side of the river, and upward of
SOC visitors of all nations passed through the ,un

The High.strcet, Wapping, was thronged with
people, who were allowed to view the shaft and
the double staircase for foot passengers. The
shaft is about 80 fee, in height and is surmounted
with handsome DOME which is glazed, and light
and air admitted. There are two staircases. one
terminating close to the western arch, and the
other leading to the eastern arch. The western
arch only is opened for visitors, but the eastern
one appears likely to be appropriated TO the same
purpose in few weeks, and great number OF
workmen are now sctively employed in ''comPo-
ing % it and making it ready for the reception of
the public. The descent to the tunnel is now easy
