crfo, whilst they weigh anchor for! the great ocean of eternity —To he boid the stern hand of death barring up the gates and avenues of life, and shutting out from them every possible enjoyment, and driving them in upon the untried solitude of an uttexpl >r ed region.—To witness the faint struggles with whi< h they cling to the last fabre of being, is a scene the memory of which no feeling heart can ever shake off. Our dying friends, while their hands are cold and withering in death, have strength enough to tear from ijs the plumes of vanity, and cast them in the dust. How do their last groans rebuke our pride, and shame our animosity! How do they confound our envy and refute the idle speru lations of adventurous reason! The softest music creates disgust in our minds when pressed down and dis pirited by the loss of those whom we love. Dying friends breathe an admoni tion to us in reference to living friends. They seem to say, “Be more faithful. D not so often plant in their bosoms the pang of ingrati tude. Towards them restrain your obliquities of temper. Live more humbly, and less offensively.” Dying friends leave us with a cloud of sorrow resting upon us; but it is a eloud which presents a salutary shade and damps the ardour of vain imagi nations —a cloud which mitigates the intense light that would .otherwise dazzle us, and which allows us to contemplate surrounding objects in tin sober hue ofreality. They clothe the heavens with darkness, and the earth with sai kclotli, but they teach us at the same time how to die. “Our dying friends are pioneers, to smooth Our rugg* and paths to death’ They appear too to beckon us a way from the ensnaring scenes of earth. Shall we not feel an addition al motive to love the heaven that re ceives them? Shall we not feel an in creasing motive to love that Rv* deemer into whose embrace they ar< received, and on whose arm they are set as a seal forever? Shall not tli sickening scenes of vice and folly Ins all their power to draw our attention, siic e our dying friends- have tak en their seats in gl>ry, among the spirits ofjust men made perfect, when they perhaps watch over us, * “While angels beckon us away, Aud Jesus bids us come.” FAITH. For the CABINET. No. 1. Mr. Editor, I observed an article in the Chris tian Advocate and Journal, No. 89, in commendation of a Tennessee Phy sician, who had contributed to some favorite Institution of the times, the sum of one hundred dollars ; which he states to be the savings of fifteen years Sunday practice. I feel no dis position to impugn,or call in question, the motives which led the Doctor to this act of benevolence, and hope tha* be was actuated by the same liberal, humane and consciencious .feeling in making out the hills of his Sunday Practice, that he was in his donation. Here. I offer a quotation from that ai- i ti-I**, with the privilege of adding a few lines. a Oh what a vast amount of pious exertion might be brought forth to heal the moral and spiritual maladies of millions of perishing immortals, if the physicians of our own country would’’ —would do what? would fol low the example of the Tennessean ? this I leave with them, as I have with him, and would say, avail themselves of a sick bed opportunity, to press home on the minds and consciences of their patients, the shortness of human life—the certainty of death, and the awful censequences that await the finally impenitent, that they might be healed of their “ moral aud spiritual maladies.” X. From the Hancock Advertiser. ! Mr. N rt x— l am truly gratified to learn, by a notice in your last pa per, that th‘ Hn. C. E Hvyves is a candidate for re-election as a Re presentative from the State of Geor gia in the Congress of the United States. The z *al and ability with which he has maintained the rights of the Southern states, and of oiu* own in particular, entitle him not only to the gratitude, but to the suffrages of every republican in the staD: in con- 1 nexion with this, permit in'* to state that his more immediate constituents have had frequent opportunities to test the promptitude with which he attends to any business entrusted to his care at the seat of government. This should not, and I trust, will not he forgotten at the approaching elec tion. A VOTER. TO CO It It K (?I> 0. \ O EATS.
