GOOD COUNCILS OF CH AUCER.
[Written in the agonies of death.]
Fl»*e from the crowd, and be to virtue true,
Content rwith what u*>u hast, though it h
small ;
To h.*ard brings hate j—nor loft> thing’
pursue ;
He who ciimbs high, endangers many a fall
Envy’s a shade that ever waits on fame.
And oft the sun ?Hat raises it, will hide ■,
Tract no r in life a vast expansive scheme,
But be thy wishes to thy sta e allied.
Be mild *o others to thyself severe—
So truth shall shield thee, or from hurt or fear.
Think hot of bending all things to thy will,
N »r vainly hope that fortune shall befriend,
Jncons ant she ; bu> be thou constant still,
WhateVr betide, uuto an honest end.
Yet needless dangers never madl> brave,
Kick nor thy naked foot against a nail ;
-Or from experience the solution crave,
If well and pitcher strive which shall pre
vail
Be in thy cause as in thy neighbor’! clear—
Bo ‘ruth shall shield thee, or from hurt or fear.
Whatever happens, happy in thy mind
Be thou ; nor at thy lot in life repine :
He ’scapes all ill whose bosom is resign’d,
Nor way nor weather shall be always fine.
3e»'de, thy home’s not here i a journey this;
A pilgrim thou* then hie thee on thy way }
Look up to God, intent on heavenly bliss,
Take what the road affords, and praises pay.
Shun brutal lusts, and seek the soul’s high
, phere—
So truth shall shield thee, or from hurt or
” fear.
WM.OU THE GBEEJC ANTHOLOGY.
[By the Rev. Mr. Bland.]
S would not change for cups of gold
This little cup that you behold :
*TȤ from the beech that gave a shade
At noon-day to my village maid.
I would not ehange for Persian loom
The humble matting of my room:
•Tis of ‘hose very rushes twined
Oft pressed by charming Rosalinde.
1 w >uld not change mv lowly wicket
opens on her favorite thicket,
F>r postal proud or »owers that frown,
The avuuimeo sos old renown.
1 would not ehange this foolish heart,
That learns from her to joy or smart,
For his that hut is with love or glory,
And loses life to live in story.
Yet in themselves, my heart, my cut,
*iat, my bowl, 1 value not;
Bo onlv as they, one and all,
My lovely Rosalinde recall.

from an essay on the Divine Authority
as vhe NE/r nssr ament,
By DAVID BOGUE.
Tft* Characters which the I?ew Tes~
tament is designed to form.
We naturally judge of a system
by its tendency and effects and de
termine from these* whether it be
good or bad. By this rule let the
gospel ber tried Its principles we
have traced. Let us now enquire
what kind of character they are cal
culated to produce : and how they
will appear when drawnout into real
lift. Ihe formation of character by
c svstem is, as it were the sum of the
principles collected into a focus, and
disp'aymg: their united energy in, the.
temper and conduct. ;
If 1 may express the whole in a
few words ; such as Jesus Christ was
when he dwelt on earth, such it is
the design of the New Testament
that his disciples should be- and
such it is their aim to be*
But to descend to particulars, and
a fuller view of the subject;
the Christian is one who hates evil*
and fallows what is good- He has
a constant regard to the-frarae of his I
heart, and is intent on the de&trm> ’
tion oL every sinful disposition & not j
one fftoleratecL He loves God su- >
premely. atid it is the great business i
©f his life to praise God, m prefer
anci to his own inclination* and the
tv ill of others. Gratitude for daily
favors glows within his breast- h. is
his meat and drink to do the will of
* God, and to keep his command
ments : and in. the midst of affliction
he submits to. the dispensations of
his Providence, as infinitely wise and
good* To Je*us as his Saviour he
constantly looks, and depends on him
for the ble&hngs of redemption: the
example ol Jesus he sets continually
before nis eves, and endeavors, with
I* rsevering assiduity, to follow his
turps. -
>. At the same time, he regards
himself as a member of the vast
Community of intelligent creatures
’ upon earth s he feels himself among
(rtf men ; and lie loves his neigh
o; as himself,—He prefers the ge
pt .* good to individual benefit: he
acts wuli rectitude sh every situa
tion ; and conscientiously performs
*ll relative duties, w nether domes
tic. political, or religious. Re pities >
the miseraole : he is ready to relieve
me indigent • lie forgives his ene
r mics; be ieiura» good for evil, and
blessing for curing. In theexer-
L Cise of benevolence is his delight :
Sl* affection emends to tV whole ’
uman race. Country, language,
l g:on colour, are not its limits ;
>s bounded by human nature alone:
nd wherever he finds a human be
i »g, there he sees a brother, wbos -
happiness he rejoices to promote.—
As the noblest part of man is the
,uT its eternal felicity is his great
concern.
While he feels thus for others,
none can accuse him of neglecting
his own concerns. Diligence, rec
titude, and fidelity, mark his habitu
al conduct : Humility, purity, con
tentment, moderation, sanctity, peace
of mind, and joy reign in bis heart.
There is besides a heroism about him
which has something divine. He
has learnt to be steadfast in good
ness ; to proceed in the path of in
tegrity and benevolence, unshaken
by temptation, contempt, opposition;
and to follow what is good, though
alone in the way. He is willing to
submit to every privation, to under
go the most painful sufferings, and
to endure death itself in the most
horrid form, rather than swerve from
the path of duty, or renounce the
principles of truth and goodness.
1 feel that I sink beneath the
-weight of attempting to delineate
the character of a Christian, and am
‘ashamed to present so poor a sketch:
but the excellence of the thing will
compensate for the defect of the re
presentation. Examine it; and then
ask yourselves: “ Where else shall
we meet with such a design*” Ma
homet, in a bungling way, pilfering
from the New Testament, attempted
something of a resemblance; but he
failed: his dispositions spoiled the
whole. The Koran forms enthusi
astic warriors for the faith, to shed
the blood of infidels, or compel them
to come into the butchcr's y rather than
the shepherd’s fold ; and the slaves
of sensual joys both in this life and
that which is to come. The legis
lators of the pagan world, though
some of them pretended to divine
revelation, had very different tho’ts
and views from the apostles of Christ.
Lycurgus, seemingly a man of strong
nerves, and a daring spirit, aimed by
his code to make the Spartans cou
rageous and hardy soldiers, delight
ing in war. Another wished to in
ure the people to labor, and to culti
vate the earth. A third sought to
teach them to excel in commerce.
A fourth studied to raise them to.su
perior skill in arts, and sciences, and
civilization- But to form men of
such character as has been delinea
ted, never entered into the mind of
any but the writers of tbfe New Tes
tament, with the sole exception of
Moses and the prophets, who com
posed the first volume of this book,
and who were animated with the
same spirit. How high does this
raise the scriptures above every o
ther book ! Can we conceive it pos
sible that imposture lurks behind
such a design ?—.The idea of such a
character is not only opposite to the
dispositions of bad .men, but beyond
the capacity even of good men, and
gives reason to conclude that it
comes from God.
But the character, it may be said,
is merely ideal. No r Jesus exem
plified all that he required his disci*
pies to be ; and they, according to
their measure, followed his steps—
Such men were Peter, and John, and
James, and Paul, and thousands
more. Imperfections in them we
can discover,, and the marks of infir
mity amidst the sudden gusts of
temptation: but all the divine prin
ciples enumerated above, reigned in
their hearts, habitually regulated
then; temper, and shone forth in their
conpuct. The blemishes we disco
ver'fn. them, are like the clouds Ey
ing along the sky in a summer’s day,
which now and then obscure the sun:
but their path was like that of the
just,'shining more and more unto the
perfect day. There have been my
riads of the same spirit in every suc
ceeding age. There are myriads
still, whose highest and whose con
stant end in fife is to realize and ex
hibit the character of a Christian.—
But wickedness is noisy, goodness
does not strive nor cry. The light
ning and the thunder of Heaven at
; tract universal notice by their glare
and roaring t The sun move* quiet
ly on his course, and diffuses his
blessings in siknee.
