The different processes of vege- tation, the changes ofthe seasons and the effects result- inu from them—the decay and the revwal of nature-— 1h; firmament above us, adorned \vith_its innumerable bright and shining lights—the beautiful and verdant surface upon which we walk, enamelled With its flowersy ofvarious hues -—tlie feathered inhabitants of the forest, the grove, and the plain, pouring forth their daily concert ofjoy and delight—these, and ten thousand other objects as beautiful, as varied, and as sublime, all attest the existence of that Great Being who is above all, and in all, and through all, and by whom all things exist,- and stamp in characters of life and light His omnipotence, benevolence and wisdom.

And where, it may well be asked, can these marks of an all-wise and superinteuding Providence be so well observed, or so thankfully acknowledged, as amidst the quietness and retirement of a country life i The dweller in the city is so surrounded by the works of his fellow- men’, and is so much accustomed to regard the art and skill of the creature, that he is apt to forget, and, to his shame be it spoken, to disregard the omnipotence of the Creator. The din ofthe crowded street, the nmse and excitement ofthe public assembly, the hustle and hurry of commerce and amusement, too often, alas! repress that' still small voice within, which, if permitted to speak,’ would tell us of the Great Source from whence ifll blessings flow. But the case is far different in the country. There, every individual, whatever may be his station, is almost insensibly affected by the softening and ameliorating influence ofthe scenes and objects which surround him.

This dialogue shows the real nature of the voluntary principle, so much admired by the advocates of cheap religion, exposes the true state of religion as now exist- ing in America, conv ys a tolerably just notion of the pedlar politics of Dr. nklin, and holds out a warning to the inhabitants of this country to ponder well ere they adopt the reforms which certain persons are so eager to enforce :—

“ ‘ Joshua,’ said Washington, ‘ we ought to have estab- lished a church, fixed upon some one, and called it a na- tionalonr. Not having done so, nothing short of adii'ect interposition of Providence, which we do not deserve, and therefore cannot hope for, can save this great country from becominga dependency on Rome. I'opery, that is now only a speck in these states no bigger ihan a man's hand, will speedin spread into a great cloud, and cover this land, so as no ray of light can penetrate it; nay, it is a-giant, and it will enter into a divided house and expel the unworthy occupants. We tolerate Papists, because we believe they will inherit heaven equally with us; but when their turn comes, will thev tolerate us, whom they hold to be heretics? Oh, that "we had held fast to the church that we had—the church of our fore- fathers—the church of England! It is a pure, noble, apostolical structure, the holiest and in best since the days ofthe apostles; but we have not, and the conse- quence is too melancholy and too iwful to contemplate. ‘Was it for this,’ said he, ‘I drew my sword in m I
