THE FOLLY OF ATHEISM.—An ODE;
By Dr. Dar win.
“ lam fearfully and wonderfully made**
DULL Atheist, could a giddy dance
Os atoms lawless hurra,
Construct so wonderful, so wise.
So harmonized a World!
W hy do not Arab’s driving sands,
1 he sport of every storm,
Fair freighted fleets', the child of chance,
Or gorgeous temples, form?
Presumptuous \Vretch, thyself survey,
That lesser fabric Scan;
1 ell me from Whence th’ immortal dustj
J’he God, the reptile man?
Where wast thou when tiiis populous eartlt
From chaos burnt-its way,
When stars exulting sang the morn,
And fiadea the new-oorn dav?
What, when the embryo- speck of life,
H'iie • miniature, of man,
Nursed in the womb, its slender form
To stretch and swell JjegAht
Say, didst thou warp the fibre woof,
Or mould the Sentient brajn;
1 hv fingers stretch the Jiving nerve,
Or fill the {ample win?
Didst thofi then bid the bounding heart
Its endless toil begin?
Or clothe in flcall the havd’niilg bone,
Or weave the 3ilken skin?
Who bids the babe, to catch the breezC,
Expand his panting breast;
And with impatient hands, untaught.
The milky rill arrest?
Or who with uuextinguish’d love
1 he mother’s bosom warms,
Along the rugged paths of life
To bear it in her arms?
A God! a God! the wide earth shouts,
A God! the Heavens repl \;
He moulded in his palm the world,
And hung it in the sky.
Ix:t us make man! With beauty fead,
And health in every vein,
And, reason thron’d upon his brow,
Stepp’d fortli majestic man.
Around he turns his wond’ring eyes,
All Nature’s works surveys;
Admires the earth! the skies! himself!
And tries his tongue in praise.
Ye hills and vales! ve meads and woods!
Bright sun, and glittering stars!
Fair creatures, tell me, if you carl,
From whence, and what I am?*
What parent power, all great and good,
Do these around me own;
Till nie, Creation, tell pie how
T’ adore the vast Unknown!

THOUGHTS ON GAMING.
Robliers of time are more clangorous enemies than rob
bers of money, because they take away that which no mo
ney can purchase and replace; undone of the most notori
ous robbers of time is Gaming at Cards, for it tends to
no improvement either of body or mind.
Is it the part of creatures who are capable by intelledual
and moral improvements of rising continually in the scale
of being, is it consistent with their rank, to spend their
time in shuffling and distributing a number of pieces of
spotted paper, to the entire exclusion of all ideas, except
ing those few which belong to the game?
Is our span of life in this world too long?. Have we time
more than enough? Why else should any waste their time
with more prodigality than even the spendthrift, wastes
his money? Why else should they contrive to annihilate
time by turning a large portion of their existence into a
mere blank?
But, besides that gaming is a waste of time, it has, in
a manifold view, a very pernicious tendency, and accord
ingly, In every civilized state, it is either totally prohibit
ed, or limited and restrained by law.
It seizes and overpowers the minds cf people, like a
sort of enchantment* and withdraws their attention from
the various necessary occupations and duties of life. It
irritates the passions, sours the temper, and leads to con
tention, to profane swearing, to intemperate drinking, and
to a general dissipation of property and profligacy of man
ners. By anxiety and excessive night watchings it injures
the health.
, Gambling for money, in large bets, is the highway to
every kind of knavery and villanyr The successful
gambler obtains his money at the expence of moral prin-<
ciplts. The unfortunate gamester, stung to the heart
with the sense of Ins losses, and rendered desperate, is in
a prepared state for forgery, burglary,, highway robbery,
or, indeed, for any kind of villany whatever, by which
’ he may hope to repair his losses, or support himself with
out industry.
If all our unhappy fellow creatures who have died un
der the gallows, or are confined in the state prisons, had
written memoirs of their lives, it would probably be found
that more than three fourths of them had frequently spent
tlieir nights at the gambling table.
Let youth of either sex be solemnly warned against
tnis vortex of seduction. Shun gambling: avoid it as
you would the mansions cf’ death: Shun it as you.
would shun a den of robbers, around which are to b f
seen the boner of murdered men and women.
