And yct.it does not weigh heavy on his mind ; he is always good; hatured, contented and happy ; he has no quarrelling in his family. All is pleasant and agreeable. Nothing is out of place.

A young minis ter; (Mr. Simeon.) about three or four years after he was ordained, had an oppor- unity of conversing familiarly with the great and venerable leader of the Arminians in this kingdom; and wishing to improve the occasion to the utmost, addressed him near ly m the following words : 1 ' ' , ' "Sir, I understand that you are called an Arminian, and I have sometimes been called a Calyinist, therefore I suppose we are to draw daggers; but before I consent to begin the conibat ,with your permission, I will ask a few questions, not from imper. tincnt curiosity, but for real instruction." I'cnniMion beingvery readilyand kind ly granted, the young minister proceeded to ask-, Pray, sir ao you feel yourself a depraved creature, so depraved that" you would never have' thought of turning unto God if God haiTnprnrst put it into-Vyour ncan s ' , . "Yes 3 says the veteran, 'I do indeed." "And do you utterly despair of recom mending yourself to God by any thing you can do, and look.- for salvation solely through UiristT" . . "Yes, solely through Christ,"-was the reply. .. Jvi.- ' - ... . "But, sir, supposing you were first saved by Christ, are you- not, sometime or otlier, to savo yourself, afterward," by your own works 1 "No !

William Livingston, once Governor of NewJersey , was the auther of tlte fol lowing article, and wrote it more than fif ty years ago, and about the time when the Constitution of the United States wa go ing into operation. He was then living in retirement, but occasionally contributed the results of his observasioa and expe rience' to tlte periodical publications of the day. He had some fears that he glories of freedom and independence, just tlicn estab lislied, might crumble to pieces and be to tally demolislicd. through the decay of public virtue among the people, and the want ot wisaom ana activity in incir ruiers.

Take these in moderation, and rejoice. But earthly comforts should jiart Heaven withhold, We arc hot yet to hopeless misery sold. Mercies and sorrow both alike he sends, By turn to cheer and discipline bis friend: " Full oft the wand'rer, on his bed of pain, , Has kissed the rod that drove him home again. And felt, of ev'ry outward joy bereft. tSweot hope, awcet resignation yet were left Thus scripture and philosophy unite Lesson of cheering wisdom to indite: These truths not merely teach us how to live The lively light of hcav'nly hope they gi ve. They shed its radiance over days to come, And gild the entrance of the dismal tomb. . Mix with our daily bread a useful leaven. Present us with an antepast of Heaven, And, if embrae'd and acted on, ensure A happiness thai lasts forever more. "Psalm 31st 1st v. tMath. 5th, 3d and onwa rd. Constable's Warrant.
