From qn essay*on the Divine Authority

By DAVID BQGUE. v

The. manner in which the New Testa*
, merit addresses Men .
Her*, as in teany other points, the
bool; is eminently singular. Ip men
’ Whi» had ntf intercourse- with the
we might expect to find
either an admiration of the rich and r
powerful, or a/dislikp of them, and’a
partiality for people of their o>vn rjank.
But nothing of this is to be seen.-
Vtfe scarcely find a writer who has not
liis partialities ; one is a sycophant
of the great, and a despiser of the
poor 1 another bates the great, and
makes his court to the Multitude,
that he mus gain th em faVor. Some
pk>’ homage to the leurnedrahd treat
The ignorant with contempt : others
t akfc (fie contrary side. Country ayid
rrlfgion have a powerful ifilluence bn
vmen's on their man v
m*r of speaking of persons and things,.
Both Jewish ami Gentile writers fur
bish remarkable ’ instances of tfiis,
each in an opposite Way,
But there is a perfect exception to
these modes of \yntingi The whole
human race is al ways considered in
the New Tesfcipent as one great
.family. .The apostle view man as an
tmmortal being : This is the light -in
which he constantly appears. . The
different conditions o-f life sink into
nothing in comparison of this “more
illustrious rank. The only reason
why they notice the various station)in
civil society to remind men the;
duties of these stations, and to guard
them pgainst the temptations to
which they are exposed. This is
peculiarly the ( case as to persons, in
the most exalted condition, the temp
tations of which they represent as
the strongest oF any : they therefore
\ kindly entreat them to watch against’
their influence with the utmost cara i
and at the same time they frankly
their abuse of the blessings
if. ih&ir conditions; . If they speak
favorably of the poor, is to console
them, because their t&nptatipbs are
s dfhbt so strong, and to point out those
advantages in lot which they
are Apt to overlook. But in all the
tjrand concerns of hum an nature they
view meii as equals r they speak’ to
tl;,em as brethren : they enVy not the
great: they despise not the poorr
they address all with dignity and af.
fcciion. is indeed one mark

Education is the discipline of jhsi

—born like the wild ass'i colt,”
increase in years and strength, to lit
tie better purposes than to be scour
ges of each other.
’ Providence, with existence, gives
us the means to improve that ’ exis
tence for all the purposes of mental,
social,"and refined happiness ; but
if like “the field qf the sluggard,
these means are abandopeclMo the
mjre impulse of natural exertion, it
is in vain to expect; those delicious
fruits which depend On the labourNof
: cultivation/ if* ‘ s£r;/
The* blessing of liberty is seldom a
cheap purchase in the first instance ;
but to perpetuate the invaluable pos
session, with improvements, and to
hand it down through a succession of
ages unimpaired, requires not only
a recurrence to first principles ; but
also the continual vigilance of an en
lightened series of genuine patriots,
and frequent sacrifices of private ad
vantages, on the altar of j.be public
gdod. This cannot be provided for
in any other than by making”
simple'and effectual provision for tho
education of the great’ body of the
people. : -V-'d\ ; - x ‘ \■ \ V: a

PASSAGE OF THE BEREZINA.

Extract from a work lately published
in this country n * v
The P Narrative o{ the Campaign
in Russia during the year 1812,” has
deservedly received the highest «ni
Can iums from differenLreviewers.—
Ihe following is copied from the
account of the crossing of the Bere
■ zina by the French, in their retreat
from Russia :
‘‘.Two bridges had been completed
the one near btubentii, and the oth
er near Vesseiovo. .Here, indeed
was Napoleon. The opposite shore
was Zembinp. The instant the work
was passable, the impatient Napoleon
ordered over a sufficient number of
his guards to render the way tolera
ble safe from immediate molestation
—and the mo me n t that yiras ascer
tained, he followed with his suite and
principal -gpuerals, N a promiscuous
crowd of soldiers pressing after him*
The bridge was hardly cleared “of
his weight and that of his chosen
companions, when the rush of fugi
tives redoubled. No order ooulfi be
kept by the hordes tkat poured to
wards us p<«ige % escape and
life, for the Russians were in their
rear—the thunder of Vigtenstein
was rolling over their heads. No
pen qan describe the jponfusion and
horror of the scenes which ensued#
The French army” had lost its
rear guard, and they found them
selves at once, exposed Vto all v the
operations of their vengeful enemy.:
On the right and on the left” there
was no escape~«eannou, bayonets
and skhres menaced i them on every
death was in their
rear—yin their front alone was there
any hope of safety—-and, frantic with
the desperate alternative, thousands
upon thousands” flew towards the
Berezina, some plunging into tne riv
er, but most directing their steps to
the newly constructed bridges, which
seemed to offev>them a passage from
slisir enemies. Misery had long dis
organized the French army, and in
the present dismay ho V<Jlce of order

dous, Was destructive of each other

ing this chaos of human misery— to
close k at once in death or in capitu
lation was the wish of his brave
heart\; but the enemy was franUcr
nothmg coulibe heard but- the roar
of cannon and the pries of despair*
The wounded and the dying,covered
the surface of the ground—the*
vivors rushed in wild fury upon
their affrighted- comrades 4 On the
bridges. They could not penetrate,
but ouly M press upon a prowd at the

with -desperate fugitives,’ that they
