From the British Review. .
Partoh's Eop.m$ These poeraSSng
produced by one of the Society of Frends,
we regard them witli i the greatest interest
as a specimen of fwhat poetry may do as
the organ of - a peaceful community,
V whose habits must in consistency, re
strain its favours Within $he proyince of
-' tranquil and tender feeling, or high and
. holy aspiration. If is the first! produc
tion of a Quaker poet which has ever
V cme under our f critical noiice and we
. trust it will lead the fray to I other mem
, bers of the same society, lift it shall be
' no longed said of them, that the whole
a eation appears to their vision in a sort
of drabcolored suit ; but 'arrayed in its
b of ;e proper glories and varieties, : and
receiving nd giving, back, in its com
merce with the delighted faicy, the kind
ling charms of enthasiasm and pathos.

-' specimen of the J touching simplicity, of
wVich we tliinlcour Quaker friend has a
r peculiar vein ; ? I , ; .

To twine thee a flowery , wreath, '

And dost thou not love, when leaves are

And Summer has just begun,5

leanest, . :
Where glisVirig waters! run, - ;
To see by that gentle and peaceful beam,

, BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.
" And -worshipped, leaning upon the
top of his stafTiV Epistle to Hebrews.
It is a beautiful trait in the reli
gion of the ;IJible, that, as it, is
founded upon truth, it is supported
by simplicity and is altogether in
dependent of human grand eur, - al
together at variance with; the dic
tates 6 f human pride. In the his
tory of the Patriarchs, - we are pre-
sentea witn a picture o pure uncle-
filed religion, in its effects Upon
people, who as yet, knew little of
the refinements of society, at once
striking impressive, land deeply in
teresting. .Whether we consider
Abraham as: calling with confidence
. on the Most High in a strange land
or Isaac, aswalkinir abroad to me
ilitate at eventide ; or Jacob, when:
in tht language of the Apostle, he
worshiped, leaning upon : the, top
amongstlthe; mast poUshed but, he
jnoot mple j not the most power-

j most learned but "the; most faithful
of mankind- liius ive are ta
to believe, that however pom
splendor may seem to . add to the
effect of religion, or however im
posing ; the coloring whicfcT they
throw around it, yet as its object is
to unite man with his Creator Jt
cannot be ; assisted by human pW-;
er ; it needs not the aid of advanti
tious circumstances. J C f
It is not amidst the cowdof
assembled multitudes, nor in " tepi-.
pies made with hands," that its lefr.
fects are only to be felt.Hc ; who
pauses amid the labors of the day v
or contemplates the beauties of na
ture at early dawn, or goeth into
the fields to meditate at eventide, or,
with Jacob worship, " leaning uppn
the top of his staff may doubtless
feel, with its full force, the influence
of the spirit of devotion. It was
thus, that the holy men of old wee
taught to trust in that Being, whofe
attributes are displayed in all his
works ; it is thus, that pious nun,
in every age, have learned to bor
in deep humility, and with solemn
reverence, before Him " who hatjit
created the Heavens, and the work
of whose fingers the stars arp ;" an&
it is thus, that in our own minds may
oe inculcated lessens of piety, an4
of unmurmuring obedience, that w
may be taught to look upon the evil
of this4ife as necessary preparative!
to Eternity, and every event as sub
servient to the"1 holy purposes of a
Being, whose mercy endureth for
ever. We may thus, in youth, bej
preserved amid temptation! and in
old age be enabled to look back with!
peace on cur past lives ; and wit hi
pious and grateful devotion worship!
like the patriarch, " " leaninc: upon
the stop of his staff.
