of his tent, about the going down of || into the wilderness, and sought dilithe sun. 2. And behold, a man bowed with age, coming from the way of the wilderness leaning on a staff. gently for the man, and found him: 14. And returned with him to his tent; and when he had entreated him kindly he sent him away in the morning with gifts. 3. And Abraham arose, and met him, and said unto him, Turn in, I pray thee, and wash thy feet, and tarry all night; and thou shalt rise early in the morning, and go on thyred years in a strange land. 15. And God spake again unto Abraham, saying, For this thy sin shall thy seed be afflicted four hund way. 4. But the man said, Nay, for I will abide under this tree. 5. And Abraham pressed him greatly: so he turned, and they went into the tent: and Abraham baked unleavened bread, and they did eat. 6. And when Abraham saw that the man blessed not God, he said unto him, Wherefore dost thou not || worship the most high God, creator of heaven and earth? 7. And the man answered and said, I do not worship thy God, neither do I call upon his name; for I have made to myself a God, which abideth always in my house, and provideth me with all things. 8. And Abraham's zeal was kindled against the man, and he arose, and fell upon him, and drave him forth with blows into the wilderness. 9. And at midnight God called unto Abraham, saying, Abraham, where is the stranger? 10. And Abraham answered and said, Lord, he would not worship thee, neither would he call upon thy name; therefore have I driven him out from before my face, into the wilderness. 11. And God said, have I borne with him these hundred ninety and eight years, and nourished him, and clothed him, notwithstanding his rebellion against me; and couldest not thou, that art thyself a sinner, bear with him one night ? 12. And Abraham said, Let not the anger of my Lord wax hot against his servant: lo, I have sinned; forgive me, I pray thee. 13. And he arose, and went forth 16. But for thy repentance will I deliver them; and they shall come forth with power, and with gladness of heart, and with much substance. I own I was struck with the aptness of the passage to the subject; and did not fail to express my surprise, that in all the discourses I had read against a practice so diametrically opposite to the genuine spirit of our holy religion, I did not remember to have seen this chapter quoted; nor did I recollect my having ever read it, though no stranger to my Bible. Next morning, turning to the book of Genesis, I found there was no such chapter, and that the whole was a well meant invention of my friend, whose sallies of humor, in which he is a great master, have always an useful and benevolent tendency. With some difficulty I procured a copy of what he pretended to read, which I now send you for the entertainment of your readers; and you will perhaps think it not unseasonable at a time when our church more particularly calls upon us to commemorate the amazing love of HIM who possessing the divine virtue of charity in the most supreme degree, laid down his life even for his enemies. I am, &c. W. S. Dr. B, had a happy faculty of playing upon words. Once he gave orders for a Turkey pie to be made, which his two servants, Janny and Sary eat up. The Dr. inquir ing for it, and being informed of the servant that it was eat up, turned round to the company, at table, and observed, that every Janny-Sary was a Turkey pye-rate.

"VENITE PER ME; or are you coming for me. This is a beautiful production. The melody is sweet and plaintive, and the words to which it was wedded very felicitously, embody an affecting incident related by Lady Morgan, in her fearless and excellent work, (as Lord Byron calls it) on Italy. The arrangement affords a new proof of Sir J. Stephenson's refined taste. Richmond Enquirer. Oft as the faintly splashing oar Draws near yon Islet's shade, Demands a love lorn maid, Veniter me, venite per me, cari amici ?' Stillto her dreary prison bar Her pallid cheeks she presses, Waves her white arm, and from afar Each gondolier addresses, Venite per me, venite per me, cari amici?? She still of Friends and Freedom dreams, Or joy, or soft repose; With Vesper bell, or midnight hymn, Venite per me, venite per me, cari amici?' Poor soul; each gliding bark she sees Her anxious hope renews, And mingled with the sighing breeze, The sad lament pursues, Venite per me, venite per me, cari amici ?" As we neared the island for the bene we came close under a dreary looking wing of the building of the Lazeretto, so close that we distinctly heard a young silvery-toned voice frequently repeating, "Venite per me, venite per me, cari amici?"* Directed by the sound, we perceived a pale face pressed against the iron bars of a sashless window, in an elevated part of the building; one hand that looked like snow in the sunshine, had forced itself through the grating and accompanied, by its impatient emotion, the oft-repeated question, Venite per me.' 'As we rowed on, the voice lost its cheerness; its tones seemed suffocated by disappointment, and the winds which bore them died on the waters with a more melancholy murmur, than the last sobbing sound which we caught of 'Venite per me?' "Poverina!" said the gondolier in a tone of compassion-Poverina!' if we passed twenty times a day, she would ask if it was for her we were coming. We inquired who the Poverina was? He said he did not know; she was some young maniac, mad for love, he had heard. Lady Morgan's Italy. * Are you coming for me, are you coming for me dear friends. Anecdote.-One of our revolutionary generals, whose memory is still precious in this vicinity, sat one day fatigued and overburthened with care, till he fell fast asleep in his tent. His faithful aids were abroad, fit of shade, (for the heat was intense)watching every movement of the enemy, and he knew well they would despatch a special message, whenever circumstances called for his presence. A devoted servant, however, more anxious than wise, thought them too dilatory, and hastened, as he saw the hostile ranks advance, to wake his master, crying out, Sir, sir, the enemy's coming, they're in the ditch now. The hero lifted his eyelids, and calmly looking at Joe, replied, Very well, let them stay there, it's the best place for them, and composed himself again to recruit his limbs for the coming conflict. The number of priests, supported by the government of France, is 26,665; of which there are belonging to the Roman Catholic Church, 4 Cardinals, 13 Archbishops, 66 Bishops, 174 Vicars General, 660 Canons, 2917 Rectors, and 22,316 Curates.

The price of travelling, on the Erie Canal route, is three cents per mile, including board. The Rev Messrs George Leonard, and Rufus Babcock, were ordained to the Babtist ministry, at Salem, on Wednesday 23d of August. Extraordinary.-A heavy tornado occurred at Chatham, Upper Canada, on the 1st Aug. accompanied with rain and snow!-and the latter, in such quantities, as to remain on the ground for several days. A number of houses, barns, fences, orchards and forest trees were destroyed by the violence of the wind. The militia, in some of the military districts of New-York, are proverbial for their indifference to discipline and want of decorum on the parade ground. It is a practice by no means uncommon, among them, to have a cigar in their mouths, which they puff away, between every word of command. A large piece of ordinance, at Darien, called the "Thomas Jefferson," was discharged 82 times, during the late Jubilee; at the 83d discharge it burst. This was the age of Mr Jefferson, and has been mentioned as another coincidence to the many others already noticed. The Grand Jury of NewYorkhave presented numerous bills against the Directors, and other Agents of the several Banking and Insurance offices, which have re A cotton ware-house, in Augusta, Geo. together with 2100 bales cotton were de-cently stopped payments in N.

Rev Cyrus Pitt Grosvenor, pastor of the Baptist Church in Hartford, has signified his intention of resigning that office. The indictments are "for conspiracy to defraud."

Paris, for the purpose of illustrating A monthly Journal is proposed in the advantages of the American Institutions.
