WHAT ALL MUST ESPECT.-Manhood will come
and old age will come, and the diving bed will come
and the very last look you shall ever east on your m
quantances will come and the agony of the parting
breath will come and the time when you arc stretched
IfeeSs corpse before the eyes of weeping relatives
will come, and the coffin that is to enclose you will
come, and that hour when the company assemble to
carry you to the church-yard will come, and that
minute when you are put into the grave will come,
and the throwing in of the loose earth into the mar
row house where you are laid, and the spreading Of
the green sod over it-all. all will come on every
living creature who hears me: and in few little
years the minister who now speaks, and the people
who now listen, will be carried to their long
homes and make room for another generation. Now
all TINS, you know, must and Will happen-your COM
mon sense and common experience serve to convince
you OF it,. Perhaps it may have been little thought
OF IN the daySof careless, and thougheSS and thank
less uncOnccrn which You have spent hithcrtO but
ca upon you to think OF It now, lay it seriously to
matters Of death ana Judgment, and eternity are
thus set 50 evidently before you. And the tidings
whcrcwith am chargcd-and the blood licth upon
your own head, and not upon NINE if you will not
listen to them-the object of my coming amongst
you is to let you know what more things arc to
and of sense, to the regions Of faith and to assure
you in the name of Him who cannot lie that as sure
the hour of laying the body in the grave comes so
surely will also the hour of the spirit returning
to the God who gave it. Yes, and the day of final
ofGod in heaven, and his mighty angels around him,
will come, and the opening of the books will come
and the standing OF men OF all generations
passing of that sentence which is to fix you for ete
nifty will come-Dr Chalmers.
The True GENTLEMAN.-The distinguished Coy
erneur Morris, of Morrisana. near the city of New
York, who was gentleman by birth, education and
the most lofty bearing, being asked for his dcini-
ton of a gentleman, replied in the words of the
Psalmist:
lis he who every thought and deed
BY rule Of virtue moves:
Whose generous tongue disdans to speak
Who never did slander forge,
His neighbors fame to wound;
Nor hearken to q false report,
BY malice whispered round
who vice IN all its pomp and power
Can treat with lust neglect;
And piety, though clothed in rags
Rcligiously respect.
Who to his I,lighted rords and trust
Has ever firmly stood;
And, MoHgh he promise to his toss,
lie makes his promise good.
Whose soul i'll usury disdanS
His treasure to employ;
Whom no rewards can ever bribc
The gulltleSs to destroy.
This Psalm was copied by Mr.. Jefferson in the
smallest hand and ncatcst manner, i'll his common
place book.
