soctrj>. Fmh E. & M. D. G. 1 said to the rose that looked languid and pale, As unsunned in the green-house it grew, “1 must bear you away through the cold wntry gale, For to Emma the tribute is due.” Then it wept —and I said, “do not weep, little rose, For the dav of your glory is nigh— On the bosom of beauty you now shall repose, And bask in the beam of her eye: “From her cheek you shall borrow the bloom you have lost, With her breath your faint fragrance repair— And fear not your leaves will be nipt by the frost, For her heart makes it midsummer there.” “Oh, yes,” said the rose, “’twill be rapture divine, And though short be the time of my bliss, Vet freely my poor little life I’ll resign, If my leaves she’ll embalm with a kiss.” “You are right, (saidl) rose, the sweet pleasure to prove, For at death what'Such soothing can give As the kiss of affection from Zips that -we love, And the hope in remembrance to live? “Farewell, little victim, your fate I would share, Though one half I should have to resign, For the kiss, every kiss, would be vour’s, I could swear, And the hope, the hope only, be mine.” REFLECTIONS ON LIFE. To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recordsd time; And and all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief pantile! Life’s but a walking shadow; a poor plat er, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, Anti then is heard no more; it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. [Shakespear.] fleligioug intelligence. OTAHEITE. Strict observation of the Lord's Day. —Mr. Rowland Hassai., of Paramatta, Nov South Wales, expressing, in a letter to the rev. Mr. B. in London, his delight in the success of the mis sionaries, and his conviction that the work is of .God, mentions, as one proof of it, the remarka ble attention w’hich the inhabitants of Otahcite, as a body, pay to the Christian Sabbath. “When my friend, Mr. Cook, with his family, arrived on the coast of Olaheite, in the brig Ac tive, they were much surprised that not a singel native could be seen all along the shore, as the vessel sailed; nor could they perceive any smoke arising from their dwellings. This excited in the mind of Mr. Cook, and others, a painful sus picion that th& island had been subdued, and all the inhabitants cutoff in the wars. “hh the midst of this agitation of mind, one of the sailors, an Otaheitan, who left Port Jackson in the Active, observed that the natives were keeping the Sabbath-day—that of late they did no kind of work—nor cooked any victuals—nor went out of their houses, except to w'orslup God —and that the whole of the day was employed either in religious worship, or in teaching one another to read. “At lengt! he vessel came to anchor in Ma tavia Bay; but not a native made his appearance until Monday morning; when great numbers re paired to the brig, bringing with them their usu al testimonies of hospitality, of food, and fruit of all kinds—with other presents of cloth, etc. etc. etc. being highly pleased and thankful to God, that he had sent another teacher among them; and thus fully satisfying all on board, that they had been observing the Sabbath, as before expressed. “Thus you see, that it is not a few individuals who are turned to the Loid, but, comparatively speaking, the whole nation. When you reflect on this anecdote, and compare the conduct of these Otaheitans with that of numbers even in the churches and congregations in and about London, you will be ready to say, that the poor heathen are taken into fellowship with Christ, whilst the children of the kingdom are east out.” Extract of a letter from Mr. Bickmu., J'.imio , dated 12<h August, 1816, to the rev. Air. IVfe lon, Sherborne. Dear Sir —Bless God with us, because lie hath done great things for .the people among whom we labor. At length, superstition and idol atry are done away, and the Areoi society is also at an end. Their Gods are burnt in the fire, and their children are saved from death. You know, that where the gospel comes with power, it al ways works a change for the better in man— “ Blessings abound where’er He reigrn, And all the sons ot want are blest.” I have lately been twice round this Island, preaching the gospel, and have just returned from a preaching tour round Taheite. There are about 700 people on this island, who have embraced the gospel, beside about 500 who are with us. In every district they have built a place of worship, in which they have prayer thrice eve ry Sabbath day, and once every Wednesday. Almost every house has family worship daily, and most of the people retire for private worship (in the bushes) twice, and some three times a-day. At Taheite, there are about 3000 who are turned from idols, and who now call Jehovah their God. They have built about 50 places of worship,’ in which they pray, as they do here. They teach each other to read and write, and they learn very quickly. Many teach others the catechism. The king writes better than any of us. At Huaheine, Raiatea,-and Boroboro, we be lieve there are nearly 4000 people who embrace the Christian religion, although they have no instruction at present, except by the books which we send them. They are frequently sending messages to us, requesting us to conic and teach them.
