Perhaps, some folks may think me over-earnest in this matter, and that I am only paying you, gentlemen, an idle compliment for" the gift of the paper—but it is not tiue; I speak with sincerity—not doubting but its subscribers will readily allow that my remarks are just.—I am, gen tlemen, gratefully, yours, ROBERT S.

JOHN P. MOON. May 25) 1827.—-21 St _ Le Comte, in h’^ description of China', gives the following account of a circum stance which happened to himself;—‘When 1 was a missionary at Pekin, I once called- to baptize a man seventy years old. who lived upon a little pension which the Empe ror bestowed upon him. When I came to him, he said, * I am much obliged to you. for you will deliver me from a great punishment.* I replied this is not aH, baptism not only de livers man from hell, hut it also leads to happy life.’ ‘ l do not understand you,’ said the sick man; * and perhaps I have not ex pressed myself plain enough :—you know that I have for some time lived upon the Emperor’s bounty, and our bonzes, who -qre well instructed concerning what happens in the other world, have assured me, that I shall he obliged, out of gratitude, to serve the Emperor after my decease ; and that my soul jwill undoubtedly animate a post horse, to bring the posts to Court out of the provinces. They exhort me, therefore, when 1 shall have assumed my new form, to do my duty well and take care not 4b snoft, nor to kick, nor to hurt any one^— * They further exhort me to trot well, \a eat sparingly, and to be patient, in order te move the compassion of the gods, \yho of* ten change a good animal into a human be ing and make a great lord of him. I own. this thought makes me shudder, and 7 can not think of it without trembling; every night I dream of it, and sometimes when I am asleep I think I am saddled, and already start at the* first lash of the rider’s whip. After this I awake in great trouble and'apxi- ety, uncertain whether I am a man or a horsjfK But, alas, what will become of me, when t am to he a horse in reality ! I have, there fore, taken this resolution. It is said that^ those of your religion are not exposed this misfortune, but. that with you mpn ra- £ j
