Since the commencement of the year 1819, a periodical work, authorised by the German Synod of the United Brethren's Church, has been published in Germany, comprising biography, missionary intelligence, and other interesting matter, se lected from manuscript accounts, together with occasional gleanings from the early history oi that church. It is now proposed to translate into the English language, and to publish in this country, under the auspices of the Conference for Pennsylvania and the adjacent states, a select portion of the aforesaid w ork, under the above title ; and to insert, occasionally, such other recent and interesting matter as may come to hand, in manuscript accounts or private letters, relative to the United Brethren's Church and Missions, particularly in this country. The members and friends of our little Zion, and those who are interested in the general cause of the Gospel, are affectionately solicited to aid the undertaking by their patronage. The work is to appear in quarterly numbers of 48 pages, makjng a volume of four numbers every year ; the annual subscription to be one dollar, payable on the delivery of the first num ber; and the publication to commence as soon as a sufficient number of subscribers has been obtained to justify the undertaking. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the UcvM. Jacob Van VJeck, at Salem, Stokes county, N. C. and also by the United Brethren's ministers throughout the United States.

WILLIAM BARBER, Mir, Yfcios. Tiie following is extracted from the Notes to Simpson's Plea for Religion : " When I have spoken above in such strong terms of the volume of Revela tion, it is by no means intended to cast any slight upon the volume of Nature. While we daily study the former, we shall do well to pay all due attention to the latter, according to our opportuni ties oi investigation. 1 o an enlight ened observer, they both carry indubi table marks cf their great Original. "The Heavens declare the glory of God, and the earth is full of his rich es." The most perfect catalogue of stars before Herschel appeared, did not contain quite 4000 ; but by the vast superiority cf his glasses, he has dis covered 44,000 stars in a few degrees of the heavens ; and by the same pro portion it is supposed that 75,000,000 are exposed in the expanse to human investigation. Lalande sunnoses that a glass of Herschel's power may dis cover 90,000,000 of stars in the whole surface of the Heavens, and that even this number is but small, in compari son of what exists. All these stars are of a fiery nature, and conjectured to be so many sit72sy with their systems of planets moving round them. We know the sun to be the centre of our system. It is accompanied with 29 planets, besides about 450 comets. What an amazing idea does this give us of the works of God ! And if such be the Work, what must the Workman be ! Every part of nature, with which we are acquainted, is full of living creatures, with stores of every kind to supply their necessities. This little globe of ours is known to contain with in its bowels a great variety of valua ble minerals, and to be covered with about SO.OCO different species of veg etables, 3000 species of worms, 12,000 species of insects, 200 species of am phibious animals, 550 species of birds, 2600 species of lish, and 200 species of quadrupeds. How immense, then, must be the number of individuals ! One fly is found to bring forth 2000 at a time, and a single codfish to produce considerably more than 3,500,000 of young. Over all these creatures pre side upwards of seven hundred and thirty millions of human beings. Such is the family of the great Father here on earth ! And when it is considered that the earth itself, with all its furni ture, is no more, when compared with the whole system of things, than a sin gle grain of sand, when compared with a huge mountain, we are lost in the im mensity of God's works, and constrain ed to cry out, " Lord, what is man, that thou art mindful of him, or the son of man that thou visitest him !" And if to this immensity of the works of creation, we add the admirable structure of the whole, and the exqui site perfection of every part, we shall not fail of being exceedingly affected with the ineffable wisdom of the Divine Architect. To bring this considera tion more within the grasp of human comprehension, let us take to pieces, and examine the several parts of any one creature which God has made ; and we shall find a perfection among its several powers, and an adaption of its situation in the grand scale of ex istence, far surpassing human skill. Let the most perfect anatomist that ever existed, make his observations upon the human frame ; let him exam ine with the greatest possible attention the tout ensemble of the structure ; then let him proceed to the several parts, of which the microcosm is composed ; first, the powers of the mind ; the un derstanding, the will, the memory, the conscience and the various affections : next the five senses ; the touch, the taste, the smell, the hearing, and the sight ; afterwards let him proceed to the several fluids of the body ; and then to the 300 bones, the 40 different sorts of glands, the 460 muscles, the 40 pair of nerves, the fibres, the mem branes, the arteries, the veins, the lym pha?ducts, the excretory vessels, the tendons, the ligaments, the cartilages ; and let him explore the whole and ev ery part with the greatest degree of accuracy, knowledge and judgment V. . . J w o n ortrl th-rt that ever centred in man ; and then let him honestly say, whether he could Isuersrest the smallest improvement in any one respect. If he were an atheist before such an investigation, like the celebrated Galen, he would compose an hymn in praise of the Creator of the world,'and sing with the great pro genitor of mankind : ' These are thy glorious w orks. Parent of good Almighty, thine this universal frame, Thus wondrous fair, thyself how wondrous then ! Unspeakable ! Who sittest above these heavens, To us invisible, or dimlv seen n these thv low est works ; vet these declare, Thy goodness beyond thought, and power di vine." H10M THE BOSTOX GAZETTE. THE LATE 7)7?. DJVIGJTT. The British periodical publications gen erally, have for years exhibited such a spirit of evenomed hostility towards us, that nothing can be more gratifying than to turn to their pages and find a faithful as well as impartial representation of our character. In the last number of the Ec lectic Review, we observe an able analysis of the late Dr. D wight's theological works, which is characterized at the same time by an unusual degree of candor and fair ness. Perhaps no one of the long line oZ American divines who have been gather ed to the tombs of their fathers, will re flect greater lustre upon the American name, than Dr. Dwight. No matter what were his peculiar tenets or doctrines, his posterity will judge him rightly, and will not fail to honor him. It will, nay, it has alreadv, given him credit 44 for masterly exposition of the doctrines of the Refor mation ;" for his vast and extensive rea soning powers ; for his wonderful research, and application ; for his various litera ture ; and for his classical and persuasive eloquence. Dr. Dwight was at one pe riod the head of the Calvinistic Church, of New-England ; and his deportment ia the pulpit was always of that comprom ising nature, which secured the respect and attention of those who differed fiom him in sentiment. His reverential man ner never failed to arrest the mind, nor his high and exalted views and forcible il lustrations, to have weight upon the heart As a disputant he was universally pro found ; but he never invited nor desired disputation. ' He seemed to wind his way insensibly into the inmost recesses of the breast, by the inculcation of practical moral truths, and virtuous precepts ; arid he was never more happy than in delin eating the beauties of Christianity, and in describing the matchless purity and ex cellence of the gospel. Hdd Dr. Dwight lived, he would have continued to shine with the splendor of a Feneloii, or a Dod dii'ige ; but he has left behind him a treasure in his works, which are the admi ration not only of his own countrymen, but of the land of his ancestors. The following extract forms the com mencement of the review in question, and is sufficient to indicate a tone of sen timent, in relation to American writers, which we hope may be unceasingly per petuated : " America has net of late years been indebted to this country for any theologi cal publication of greater v alue than thee lectures of President Dwight. If that jealousy of our transatlantic brethren, which has too long manifested itself in the supercilious tone of English writers towards every thing American, were not already subsiding, this work might seem sufficient to give a check to the language of disparagement, and to compel a more respectful estimate of at least one branch of its literature. But, unfortunately, that one branch is the least likely to attain in this country adequate attention, or to bo fairly and impartially appreciated; the American divines being too closely iden tified, in the minds of a large class of persons, with the English Calvinistic Dissenters, lo stand a fair chance of hav ing their claims to high consideration generally recognized. A modern essay ist critically ranks President Edwards a mong English Dissenters, being ignorant that the author of the acutest piece of metaphysical reasoning in the language, was an American. For any thing that appears to the contrary, in respect to the purity of his style and the extent of his literary information, the author of these volumes tao might pass for an English man. And his masterly exposition and defence of the doctrines of the Reforma tion, might occasion his being referred to that class of theologians, who, in this country, are stigmatized as Calvinists or Evangelical divines. The truth is, that he was a man whom any religious denom ination might be proud to claim one whom every true christian, of whatever country or language, might delight to re cojrr.inc as a brother. Such men as the ! Laiimers and the Leightons and the Fen- e'.ons, the Owens and the Henrys, the Brainerds and the Martyns, the Doddrid ges and Dwights, are the property of no exclusive community ; they belong to the Catholic Church. And one might be al i I
