Earth hath a joy unknown in heaven,
The new-born joy of sins forgiven !
Tears of such pure and deep delight,
Ye Angels ! never dimm'd your sight.
Yc saw of old on chaos rise
The beauteous pillars of the skies ;
Ye know where Mom, exulting, springs, ,
And Kvening folds her drooping wings.
Uright heralds of the Eternal W id,
Abroad his crrants ye fulfil ;
Or thron'd in floods of beamy day,
nyiiiphonious, in his presence play.
Loud is the song the heavenly plain
is shaken with ttie .bond strain
And dying echoes, floating far,
Draw music from each chiming star.
Hut I amid your (pares shall shine,
And all your knowledge shall be mine :
Yc on your harps must lean to hear
A secret chord that nunc will bear.

They who, in prufesoiou, admit the
truth of God, and yet take toinlurt
from his mercy, without looking 10 him
who bare in hit own person, the accom
plishment of all the threaienings, do
in fact turu that truth into a lie. I hey
who, in protesbion, admit the justice
of God, a ud yet trust in the remission
of their sins, without any distinct ac
knowledgment of him on whom God
has laid the burden of their condemna
tion, do in fact prove, that in their
mouths justice is nothing but an un
meaning articulation. Tory who, in
pri'fcs.Mon, admit tnc authority of those
great and umhanging priuciplcs, which
preside over the whole of God's mor-
administration, and yet assign io nim
such a loose connivance at iniquity, as
by a mere act of tenderness, to recal
the every denunciation that he had ut
tered agmst it, do in fact put lorth a
sacrilegious hand to the pillars of that
immutability, by which the government
of creation is upheld and perpetuated.
Let them rest assured, thai there is no
way of reconciliation, but such a way
us shields ail the holy, and purr, and
inflexible attributes of the Divinity,
roin degradation and contempt. Outof
thai hiding place which is made known
in the g'.spvl, all that tsjnst, and severe,
and indexible in ihe periecnons of God,
stands in threatening array against ev-
ry son and d-mhirr of the species.
And if thty will not look to God as he
sets himself forth to us in the New
Testament, it thry reluse to look un
to him as God in Christ, reconciling
the world unto hunrll, .nd not impu
ting unto them their trxspsscs, il
they set aside all that is 6aid about the
blood of the everlasting covenant, and
the new and living way of access, and
the manner in which the mediatorship
of Christ hath repaired all the indigni
ties of sin, and shed a glory over the
truth and justice of the lawgiver, if
they will still persist in looking to him
through another channel than that of
his own revelation; he will persist in
looking t them -with the aspect of a
stern and unappeased enemy. He will
not let down the honours of his inflex
ible character, for the sake of those
who refuse his way of salvation, lie
will not fall in with the delusion ot
those who profess to revere this char
acter, and then shake the whole burden
of conscious guilt and iufirmity away
from them, by the presumption, that in
some way or other, the mercy of God
will interpose to defend them from the
venance oi his more severe ana un
" . . a
relcntire perfections. The one ana
the only way, in which he dispenses
mercy, through trr s
Christ, and if vour confidence bc laid
in any other quarter, he will put that
confidence to shame. lie will not ac
cept the prayers of those, who can thus
make free with the unchangeable attn
butes- which belong to him. lie will
not descend with such to any inter
course of sflection whatever. He will
not own the approaches, nor will he
deal out any boon from the storehouse
of his crace, to those who profess a
general confidence inhis mercy, when.
instead of acnercy which guards, and
dignifies, and keeps entire the whel
clory and tharacterof God, it is a mer
cy which belies his word, which invad;s
his other perfections, which spoils the

breaks up the whole fabric of his mor

Carbon- Useful in fattening Hogg,
Cincinnati, Ohio, January lCtli, 1822.
"One idea has entered iny mind which
may be worth mentioning, but not for the
press ; you can perhaps improve upon it.
The fattening poultry upon carbqn, or
carbon being one of the active means, to
gether with aunt Dinah's theory, suggest
ed to me the propriety of giving it to
hogs, when penned end high fed for the
purpose of beinjj fattened. While stand
ing by a pen, I observed the hogs to root
very deep, with much labor. I watched
them, to know, if possible, the object of
their great exertions, until I saw one come
up with his mouth full of fresh earth,
which he eat with an apparent avidity,
while another would be engaged in the
same hole the moment the f.tV would be
out ; my presumption was that it was
used as a corrector of some morbid fluid
in the stomach, as they were plentifully
supplied with corn and wator. I gave
them immediately some coal, which they
eat with surprising avidity in prefer
ence to fresh food, then thrown in with
the coals, and alio in preference to their
drink, which was thrown in fresh, or new ;
for, I should not say fresh, as I frequent
ly put salt in the water for fattening hogs,
and it might have been so at that time ;
they neither stopped to drink nor lo eat
grain, until the coal was all eaten. As
the hogs are not yet killed, I cannot say
what the internal appearance may be, but
they discontinued their rooting, were
more quiet, and appeared to fatten faster.
I omitted it for a few days and they com
menced rooting ; I gave it again, and they
discontinued rooting s I now continue to
give them a moderate quantity daily, say
the size of a hen's egg, two pieces to each,
but if more is given it will do no injury,
an excess will operate only as a moderate
purgative."

FOREXSIC ELOQUE.YCE.
T!C Boston Daily Advertiser furnishes a sketch
of the speeches in the ease of The Commoirwralth
tf MafchutrUt, against Upttn if Jfantrt, re
cently tried before the Municipal Court at Boa-
ton.
Mr. Webster, w ho was engaged on the side of
the defendants, in closing lif argument, pro
ceeded to make tome general remarks upon the
nature of the case, the situation of his client, and
his claims to protection.
" A person of extensive business, (said
he, engaged in large mercantile transac
tions, and who has filled some space in
society, Ends himself suddenly bereft of
his proprty, reduced lo the condition of
a bankrupt beset by indictments and li
bel suits, put under heavy recognirances,
hoklen lo bail beyond his ability lo obtain,
and kept in gaol day after day on a claim
of SJ0,O0 in damages, presented a esse
demanding the sympathy and aid of eve
ry person who would set his face against
oppression, lnis was a community in
which no man can be oppressed, it is in
vain that it is attempted such attempts
recoil upon their authors. If by his ad
vice any persecution of this nature was to
be conducted against any individual, far
away should be put all appearance of ter
ror all private suits and excess ot bail
The attacks which had been made upon
his client could not succeed. They re
minded lam of an incident related in the
novel of the Pirate, to have tal.en place in
one of the Orkney Islands. It was an
nounced among the inhabitants of the isl
and, that a great whale had been driven
ashore in a storm, and as soon as they
round Mm disabled and helpffss by being
out of bis own element, they fell upon
him with harpoon and spears, and spits
and pitchforks, and beat him and stabbed
him until they thought him almost ex
hausted ; but he collecting all his strength,
made one desperate effort, snapped the
cables they had coiled about him, upft
all their boats with a single stroke of his
tail, and at one bound, leaped over the
bar that confined him on shore, and made
out to sea, leaving all his pursuers be
hind in ammment at their own discomfi
ture." We perceive that Mr. Webster eoirpwed bis
client to a whale, and triumphantly foretell hist
escape which idea is happily turned againstj
him in the reply of Mr, Austin, who acknowl
edges the correctness of the similie, and anticN
pates the escape, according to usage, of Mr. W'i
powerful client from :h- nulwi tif the law, astho
Wkulr, the isriathun, and the Sra-Srfrnl, to
all of whom he assimilates Vir. " client,) breaks)
thro' the net of die fishermen. In the couri of
hi reply, Mr. Austin said
" It is true that it is a grievous thing fa
be indicted. It is a misfortune which tho
Innocent mty suffer, and the guilty es
cape. The gentleman has drawn, in bold
and glaring colors, the situation of an in
nocent man wno is laiseiy accused. rut
there is a counterpart to the picture, which
he forgot to exhibit. Il is the cause of
the daring and bold faced villian, who sets
law, justice and morality at defiance who
trusts to the space he has filled in society
to the magnitude of his transaction,
to his acquaintance, and intimates, and
friends to the all-powerful influence of
his plunder, by meaniof which the Com
monwealth is made subject to his will ;
who can command witnesses to palliate,
and counsel to defend him who arrays
in his service the highest integrity und
the most exalted talents of the State
binding the morality of the ona to the
pernicious effects of his example, and
persuading the eloquence of the other to
conceal his turpitude and varnish hi
crimes ; until, by their conjoined farce,
he breaks the meshes of the law, that are
too weak to enclose him, as easily as'lhc
whale did the harpoons of the Zealandei s,
and laughs to derision the feebleness of
those instruments by which the small and
insignificant inhabitants of his element
are detained. The common fry, like pet
ty villsins, may be caught ill shoals, but
great rogues are leviathans of the deep
sea-serpents who aport in your waters,
bask in your sunshine, and amuse them
selves with tour feeble efforts to seize
them ; which, tho' they would overwhelm
a myriad of smaller beings, they always
find skid to evade, or strength to over
come." SOLITUDE.
" Sohlude nmetime it belt nfy.H XIlTO..
The pleasures of retirement, and tho
tranquil enjoyments of solitude, have
been the unweared theme of the phi
losopher and the poet. The lormer
has told us, and told us truly, that there
we can enjoy the serenity of mind,
which is so necessary to the peieeptioa
of truth, and to the adaption and fos
tering of virtuous principles, and here
form the moM accurate estimates of the
relative value of temporal and eternal
things. The latter has delighted to
lead us forth from the tumult of the
world, to the contemplation of tho
beauties of nature, and catching a glow
of enthusiasm and inspiration Irom
the magnificent scene, has awakened
strains of lofty melody, which arc
treasured up in our hearts, among our
fondest and most endearing recollec
tions.
Entire abstraction from the world,
is generally incompatible with our du
ties, and indeed, inconsistent with our
nature. It is more frequently the re
sult of di&apointmeot and misanthro-
py, than ol a sincere love lor tne beau
ties of nature, or for the pleasures ot
tranquil and philosophical reflection.
but an aversion to solitude and con
templation, may usually be considered
as an evidence of a frivolous mind, or
of a bad heart, which seeks relief from
its convictions, in buttle and gaiety. It
is true, that education, habits and cer
tain constitutional propensities, may
have a material effect hut it is equal
ly true, that reflecting men, even when
engaged in the busy concerns of life,
often turn aside into lett frequented
paths, to commune with their own
hearts, and to ponder on the deep my

of creation, and elevating their tl.o'ts
through the various grades of being,
to the "first Good, first Perfect, and

devotion, and involuntarily exclaim,
These are thy wondrous works, Parent oTGoocL
Almiphtv ! thine this universal frame!

"That man, says Young, "is the
true hero, who dares to meet his naked
heart alone." It is certainly of the
greatest importance to every rational
being, and especially to one who is ac
countable for his actions, to accustom
himself to self examination ; to ascer
tain the predominating impulses of his
mind and the engrossing objects of l.i
caret and affections, and to inquire
