THE EXILE.

He stood without one lettering band
Upon his native shore,
The .joys.and hopes that freedom gives
Were all his own once more
The weary pain and misery
That haunts the captive's lot;
The Past, the dreary, bitter Past,
Was in that hour forgot
He reached his childhood's home, and paused
To view its aspect fair;
No dreaded change, no dull decay,
AT first he noted there;
The same old trees were casting still
Their shadows on the ground .....
The rose, the myrtle and the vine
Were fourishing around.
And yet fearful stiffness reigned
Der each remembered place;
He saw no hurrying form appear,
No sweet and joyous face;
No kind and welcome words Of cheer,
No tones that once had been
The very music of his life,
We've gladdeniny the scene.
He stood within his childhood's home;
Despair was on his brow;
Beneath the might of agony
His spirit seemed to bow;
He stood there, pale and desolate,
And Earth no longer shone-
Alas, alas what Is this earth
When those we loved are gonc'

THE LATE DIR. MINOR.

The following touching account of the Rev. DR..

career, at family prayer and breakfast he appeared
as we'll as usual. AT home saw him writing at
the very desk from which these lines to you will
issue, complaining of no ailment. | cautioned him
respecting the change of weather, and left him.
On our reunion at the dinner table, he informed
me that his oppression and difficulty of breathing
during walking had been much worse than usual
that morning. Oh what pang shot through my
own heart on listening to these words. For year
past had been confident that he labored under
disease of the Observation-Disclosures which would
in all probability terminate instantly. The end
seemed to be approaching but surely-al-
though never distinctly told him my wnopinion
of his situation-and once that very day had avoid

time convinced that such was the case, and was
unquestonably expecting sudden termination of
life advised him to keep quiet at home for the
remainder of the day, which he did. Attea, saw
no change, sat with him. till eight and left him
reading. At half past visited him again; he
was still engaged in reading and said he felt comfoe

way to bed. He called loudly to my younger broth

him to undress before made him my usual final
visit for the night, when my brother entered and
babe me come Immediately. Onentering his room,
found him sitting upon his bed in great distress,
gasping for breath, not worse, however, than had
often before him, and by the blessing of God
had been able to relieve him. Immediately ad-

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF SOME OF
THE ANCIENT GREEK LITERATI.

CHAPTER XI.-OF PAPHIAS.
This philosopher, who wrote many moral trea-
Uses in the Greek lived in the days of the Apostles
9, He fourshed. A. D. so.
s. He is said to have proragated the heresy of
She Chiiast;e, who did not believe in spiritual
heaven but held to material state; or the re.
smbodying of the soul, in another world beyond
The grave.
4. He thought that the happiness of the good,
would there consist in the most refined animal, in
tellectual, and spiritual enjoyments.>
S. The miseries of the damned, he believed,
would flow from the burning influence OF me MOST
debased and brutaliZing passions and appetltes
which would forever be Unsuitable, and subject
those possessed by them, to perpetual renorse.
6. His fancied Paradise was somewhat similar
to that which Mahomet subsequently taught his
deluded followers to expect.
T. Euscbas, in his Ecclesiastical History, takes
notice Of the errors which Paphias labored to in
culcate.
8. They probably grew out of the Nicoaitan
School of Philosophy, whose teachers were but
blind leaders of the blind )" and against whom
the Apostles directed much of the sublime andho.
ly energy of the Gospel to disprove their PERM
cious doctrines.
o. Not only Eusebias, but Hieronymus takes oc-
casion in his ecclesiastical writings, to alude to
the doctrines of Paphias.
10. AT the time of the Subject of this Sketch,
large and numerous body of men had crept into
the Christian Churches, who professed to believe
I'm n GROSS and sensual millennium.
IL. With these false religionists, Paphias part
: ly sided but he by no means, went all lengths
with them, in their absurd and sinful carnal views
and feelings.
-. His great error consisted in his vainly en-"
deavorng to engraft the somewhat rational rrInc'-
ples of mere human philosophy, upon the purify
ing and l-humblng doctrines of the Christian
religion.
49, am not aware that many of the works Of
<Paphias are now extant.
Ii. 1t is not probable that he committed many
If his views upon doctrinal points, to writing
but was engaged for the most part, in supporting
his doctrines in the capacity of public lecturer.

the ascendan>y in the Churches; and though ii
