RELIGION.
Like now that falls where waters glide,
* Earth’s pleasures fade awa* ;
They rest in liine’s resistless tide,
Aiid cold are while they stay;
3ut joys that fiom religion flow,
Like stars that gild the night.
Amid the darkest gloom of wo,
Shine forth with sweetest light,
Religion’s rnv Liilondi obscure—
nut o’er thfe Christian soul
It sheds It radiance calm and pure,
Though tempests round him roll;
His heart may break’neath soirow’s stroke
But to its latest thrill, ,
Like diamond* Shining when they’re broke,
That ray wifi light it still.

Am impromptu representation of A scene exhi
bited at Schuylkill, Philadelphia, on Saturday,
April 12, when fourteen persons, ten fe
males, and four males were baptised.
Bright is the wave which the soft margin billows,
And calm the effulgence which smiles from the
The tints^of young Spring now shades the meek
willows
VYhichswecp the pure liquid that undulates nigh.
Such was the scene on the far Eastern Jordan,
Whose typical waters the good Spirit bless
Where penitents throng’d—where Mercy spoke
pardon, .
And love sought the footsteps the Saviour had
press’d.
Now moves to the bank a solemn procession,
While strains of soli melody melt on tne ear—
Not the dirge ofthe grave, nor the moans of con
fession, .
But the festal delight which Seraphim hear.
Yet grace clothes enshroud the placid attendants,
A watery sepulchre lie* in their view
A dettth giving conquest, a life ot resplendence,
Mvste. lously blend in their parting adieu,

Soi^tt woiqgn at parting scarce give you
4o much as a simple good bye,
And from others as long as you live, you
Will never he bless’d with a sigh:
S /tne will press ydu so warmly, you’d linger
Beside them for ever, and some
Will give you an icy forefinger,
But Fanny presents you a thumb.
Some will give you a look of indifference,
Others will give you a smile;
While some ofthe colder and suffer ones,
Bow in their own chilly style !
There are some who look merry at parting,
And some w ho look wofully glum;
Some give you a blessing at starting,
But Fanny just gives you a thumb,
There are some who will goto the door with you,
Borne ring for the man or the maid;
Some who do less, and some more, with you,
And a few would be glad if you stay d,
A good many wish you’d be slack again,
Their way on a visit to come;
Two or three give you leave to go back again,
But Fanny gives only her thumb.
With a number, ten minutes aie longer
Than you find yourself welcome to stay,
While some, whosesn flections are stronger,
Would like to detain you all day.

Others give not a drop nor a crumb;
Some a saudwicli, from sirloin or brisket,
Biit Fanny gives simply her thumb.
Same look with a sort ofa squint to yon,
Some whisper they’ve visits to make;
Same glance at their watches—a hint to you"
Which, if you’re wise, you will take.
Some faintly invite you to dinner.
(So faint, you may see it’s all hum,
Unless you’ie a silly beginner )
But Fanny presents you a thumb.
Some chatter—thirteen to the dozen—
Some don’t speak a word all the time;
Some open the albums they’ve chosen,
And beg you to scribble in tliyme;
Some bellow so ,oud, they admonish
Your ear to take care of its drum;
Some give vou an oggie quite tonish, •
But Fanny gives nought, save her thumb.
Some wonder how long you’ve been absent,
Despair of your coming again;
Wh’le some have a coach or a cab sent,
To take you away if it rain.
Some shut up their windows in summer,
Some wont stir the fire though you’re numb ;

The finest Hymn Hook extant.
WATTS & RIPPON,
A LARGER SIZE.
D AVID CLARK, encouraged by the favora
blc reception of his improved edition of
Watts’ k Rippou’s flynin Bo .k, has determined
to publish the same work in a much larger form,
suitable for use iu pulpits, pews, and families.—
The newly arranged indexes of subjects and first
lines will be introduced, and the same method
of numbering observed, by which the small and
h/g**r hooks may be used at the same time with
perfect ease. The size will be octavo, with lour
Copperplate Engravings, printed on a large
English letter, procured for the special purpose.
The paper will be of the bc»t quality, aud the
hbt-ling done iu a superior manner.
It will be remembered tiiat the Psalms and
Hymns of Dr. Watts wore first arranged under
appropriate heads, and the deficiencies supplied
by Dr. Rippon, and that his selection was intend
ed for an appendix to the work of Dr. II atts.—
The general use of these books in Great Britaii
and America is sufficient evidence of their pecu
liar merit. The readiness of the Baptist Church-
es in the United States to ; nrchase two large e-
ditions, and their desire for more, prove that
they coincide with the Churches of Eng
land in their estimation of the work and
that the two together may be fairly consid
ered the best Hymn Book in existence. Under
all these circumstances, D. C. thinks the pic-
seut undertaking, though much heavier than the
former, will be fully sustained by a liberal public,
who have given already so mnuy signs of their
approbation to the improvements and execution
ofthe smaller edition. lie requests Ministers
and others, especially those who have advised
the attempt, to ascertain as cany as practicable,
how many copies can he disposed of Brough
them, and give him information by the first of
May, IS28. The work will be soon commenced,
and the public may be assured that no pains w ill
be spated to make it equal to their highest ex
pectation,
N. B. The type to be used in the proposed edi
tion, is two sizes larger than the above.
CONDITIONS.
1st. This edition, as to matter and arrangement,
will correspond precisely with the former edi
tion.
2d. The price in plain sheep w ill he $2 50, iu
plain calf $3 UO, and in morocco or calf, and
gilt $3 50
3d. 500 copies will be printed on superior hot
pressed paper, and bound in superior extra
style, at $5 00.
4th. Any person obtaining eight subscribers, and
remitting the pay, shall have one copy gratis.
5th. To Booksellers and others who obtain 60
subscribers, or order 60 copies at a time, tind
pay the cash in one month after receiving the
hooks, a discount ufone-thinl veil! be made.

RECOMMENDATIONS.
/ liilailtlphia, Sept. 15. 1827.
The well and universally appreciated excel
lence of Dr. Watts’ Psalms and Hymns, and the
judicious and spiritual appendix to his work by
Dr. Rippon arc such, as. in proportion as they
arc know must render recommendation unne
cessary. 1 have seen Mr. Clark’s (first) edition
of the volume. Its cxecutiou is neat, and the
price reasonable. I hope he w ill receive encour
agement from the churches, in addition to what
he has already accomplished, to issue a copy
with a yet larger type.
WM. STAtJGIITON.
The Subscribers, beiug apprized of Mr. David
Clark’s intention to publish another editiou of
the excellent Hymn Books of Watts k Rippon to-
get cr, with a much larger type than the first, do
most heartily wish him success, and recommend
it to all the Baptist Churcln s throughout the
country; believing it to be the best hook ol
Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs in use among
Christians. The larger hook is very uecossary
and desirable for public and family woiship, and
particularly to those whose eye sight is too weak
to read a small type with ease. Judging froi:
the superior execution of his firsl improved edi
tion of die work, we have no doubt but that the
larger books will also be made iu the best man.
ner, and meet the wishes of many who have long
regretted the want of a larger impression of this
most valuable publication.
Mr. Clark’s new arrangement ofthe indexes
and method of numbering the hymns, is a great
improvement, while it does not hinder the use of
it iu conjunction with any other editions of the
books, bound either together or separately.

was executed in the best style- We rejoice that
his success has encouraged him to publish an oc
tavo edition of the same work, aud confidently
expect that he will offer to the public as he de
signs, the finest Hymn Book extant. For a book
of the proposed size and stile of execution, the
price must be considered reasonable, Me wish
him the success which he well deserves.

Ma. Clark,
Sir,—It has afforded us great pleasure to learn
that you-intend soon to publish an octavo edition
of Dr. Watts’ Psalms and Hymns as arranged
by Dr. Ilippon, together with Dr. ltippon’s se
lection. Such a Hymn Book, if well executed,
and reasonable as to price, cannot fail to icceive
a very extensive circulation, as it is believed that
the Churches of Christ in Ameica have long felt
the inadequacy of Dr Watts’ Psalms and Hymns,
to all the purposes ol dir ine worship.

APOLITICAL PAPER,
TO BE ENTITLED
THE OLIVE BRANCH,
I NTENDED to support, l>y the dissemination
of truth, the present Administiatiou ofthe
General Government of the United States, as
iong as its measures aie calculated to promote
public good.
Nothing could have induced the Editor to
have consented to enter the list ut political con
troversy, at tbi., time, hut a lull belief that it is
his moral duty to assist in the promulgation of
Uuh.
With pain the Editor wiow contemplates the
flood o; political error, inundating the State of
Georgia, and wishes to oppose a defence—nor
is he without hope, or expectation, that the
friend? of the General Union will lie able to give
ilie vote of Georgia to Mr. Adams ; anil he will
use all fair means he can, to effect jo desirable
an event. Yet, while he shall fuilhfully and fear
lessly defend the character and conduct (while
right) ofthe Members ofthe Administration of
the Government ofthe United States, aud the
State of Georgia, and illustrate the pretens.ons
of Jobs Q. Adams to the Presidency, lie will nei
ther slander Geu. Jacksos nor his frieuds, or
attempt io eclipse his merit, or li is honor.
While the Editor coufiden-ly calculates on the
support of the independent friends of Mr. A-
dams, it the Administration, lie thinks that many
may patronize The Olive Branch with a view
of ascertaining the truth, oil the important sub
ject now under consideration.
The Olive Branch will be divided into Four
D -partmeuts :
I Foreign Intelligence.
II. Domestic Intelligence—a summary notice
of passing events, interesting to tiie American
reader.
Ill Discussion of Political Subjects of present
inteiest—predicated on the right of man, and of
the individual States of the General Confedera
tion. In such discussions the true principles of
republicanism shall not be outraged—but the
political doctrine ofthe immortal Jefferson shall

men, of whatever State or persuasion, religious
or political.”

MA HF patronaee that has already been extend-
X ed to the -Casket, has not only exceeded
our most sanguiirt expectations, but, if we mis
take not. is uupiecedented in the annals of
monthly liteiature. 2’his success has induced us
to -rive the work a more attractive form for the
present year, as well in its literary department,
as well as in its decorations and typographeal,
arrangements. A new font of type has liceu pro
cured, upon which it is printed; the size and
number of the pages are to be considerably ex
tended and they are also enlarged, and paper
superior to that formerly used, is employed in its
publication ; meantime, that every department
may exhibit a corresponding degree of improve
ment, arrangements having been entered into
with artists, for various decorations sual orna
ments. The usual number of coppor-platff^jjjl^
he found, and it is proposed to furnish each num
ber with two wood engravings, instead ol one. as
heretofore. The wood engravings representing
scenes, or referring to incidents familiar or inter
esting to most of our readers, will be accompani
ed by well written descriptions of events and ex
hibitions connected with the picture—each rc
fleeting upon the other's interest and value.
It is our desire to render the Casket interesting
to the various classes of readers to w hom periodi
cal literature generally addresses itself ; and we
shall feel called upon to search, with renewed at
tention and assiduity, for the most interesting
contents of foreign Magazines, w Idle a proper
inducement will he held out for native writers to
contribute a portion of their labors to enrich eur
Casket.
These regulations can be effected w ithout any
sacrifice of that light reading, and general maga
zine of small paragraphs, that must enter into
all literary works; inasmuch as the size ot the
work will he very considerably enhanced—it:
contents, thesefore, assumes a more diversified
form, and boasts an increase of solid matter.
The price of the Casket will he §3 50 per an
num, payable within three months alier the re
ceipt ofthe first number—but, if the subscription
is paid in advauce, 82 50 will be received as pay
ment in full.
The arrangements which we have made for the
publication ofthe Casket, warrant us in assuring
it* patrons, that it shall equal, in attraction, ally
work ofthe kind that has been published ; wli li
lts price is scarcely half that ol the most ordinary
monthly publications.
Those who wish ,o patronize the work will
please to intimate thcii wishes l»y sending ns the
subscription in advance—the increasing expenses
,rff'fhe paper, printing, engravings, fcc. render it
ahsoluteiv necessary for us to lie furnished with
the mean's of meeting expenditures promptly.

Southern Anti-Biiious Pills.
I T is worthy of remark, that the people of the
Southern Stale- depc-ml on those of i lie North,
to pi escribe Ami Bilious Pills in a climate to
which the latter are, its a great measure, stran
gers, End consequently cannot know tin pcctili
a lilies and temperament ofthe system of thuo-
in Southern sections, as Well a* those residing
there.
The Pills most commonly vended at the South,
arc Lee’s New Loudon Anti-Biiious l’i.Is, which
are, beyond doubt, excellent laxatives, and may
be sufficiently active on the bilious system foe
the healthy State of Connecticut, where they
are manufactured ; but in the Southern SttHK.i,
and parficulaily iu tbe Stale ol Georgia, wheie
the liver is oftert more or less engorged, it »id
he fountl they have but little effect iu restoring
the healthy functions of that organ.
The manufacture! of the Southern Anti-Biliou*
Pills, has for several yeais been contcmplatuig
a form of Pills, and lias occasionally made alter
ations, until he believes he has now prepared an
Anti-Bilious Pill a* well adapted to this coualr/
as any Pills that have been, or probably will hr,
invented. And in a course of a < oiisidrinblr
practice, he has had oppo. tuniiies of conclnsiv
ly testing their efficacy. Tt-r-r cast, tqmn
the stomach, aud unless that organ is un 1- r con
siderable irritability, will not iu theioosi uup< dr
ones repose at night; ami when taken at late led
time, will not ordinalilv operate till morning.-"
in cases of engorgement or toipidiiy of tbe litet
and where she spleen is affected, they will l'
found equal, if not superior, to any form ol Ian-
tive that can lie given.
