TIE -Penitence.-Am0ng the judy
ments Of Heaven none has ever been more consp,c-
nous than pestilence. Sometimes has been actually
miraculous. Ii was so, when 1t iraversed Egypt in
single night, and destroyed the FIRST born ofevery
tent, have been detected. And thus multindes have
come stupidity and irreveren,ly to overlook the di-
vine hand. At length it seemed necessary TO send
abroad the destroyer in aspects fgreaty increased
obscurity and mystery. The great pestilence of
modern times the Cholera. About twenty years a.
GO it trayersed the earth, and swept into eternity f
ty million Of its inhabitants. Ii is again on its mis-
sion, and with terrific power. Its causes are yet
undetecteG. Its form of progress among The nations
is unaccountable. 1t is the disease of no continent,
country, climate, or season Of the year. The most
that science and experience have gained in regard
to 1t, IS some light TO its existing causes, the
symptoms Vi its approach, and few counteractng
influences. The Cholera is still visiting city and
country, and carrying dismay over theearth Nor,
perhaps, ISL reasonable expect that its mys,eri
Gus ravages will be permanently arrested, till man,
especially in Christian lands is brought recognize
in it the presence and power ofthe Supreme. What
but papable miracle could more clearly mark it as
visitation of the most High? Why then should
not Christians rulers, and The people at large with
one heart and voice rocosnize the justice of this chas
tlsement, ahure sins which may have occasioned il
and raise the earnest cry, "Spare thy people, y
Lord !' BoIY much more rational las well as hon
orable to the Infinite One, such demonstration of
humility, than either mpious complaint, or reckless
stOicIsm, or that alarm which hopes for safety in
fight!-->N Y. Eapress.
