In the first place, then, we shall notice, briefly, die relation which man sustains to his Maker, and s nch duties, required from a creature towards a Creator, as are discoverable by the light of rea son. ~ By, Wc will show that man is a reasonable be ln -< wherein consists liis superiority over other an h'nls and the other olijects of creation.

( ’ Ty, llis duties to his fellows. ‘ ta ‘.v, His duties to his country. BtMy and filially, We shall exhort the young ' !l " lei this place to make the acquisition of know ,J'F their chit-f aim in life. Bt. It is on almost all hands conceded, that n nn was firmed in the beginning, by ail eternal, all-ivise and glorious Creator. Man, then, is a J feature, ushered iota existence by the plastic kind of .m Omnipotent Creator; and being crea * •' without any chance for a will or wish onr his w ‘i !> irt, by tin* goadnass a id favor of the Majes 7," 1 Heaven, he became literally, the property nl the Great Proprietor qf the Universe; and ci ling thus related, without the power of selt !|" serration or control, he is dependent on Provi de for the preservation, the means of suste nanee, comforts and happiness of life; so far, at as his own caution, exertions and fore ’ I(, u-ht, as so many means in the hands of God, t jniiot afford collateral agency iu producing these " n the goodness and grace of lleaven, for his ex igence, for the air he breathes, for the food lie jues. tor the happiness he enjoys, bound by every *" °l reason, of gratitude, of honesty, to adore "" ham) that made him and sustains him. and to • ipl, l willing obedience to his will > If is sheer in -r ititude to despise the inestimable favor ot that Holy Being, who formed from inanimate matter, these eyes, these hands, these orgaus of speech, yea, these muscular frames of ours, aud breathed into them an animating spirit, an j a soul that em anated from the throne o! God, and graciously endowed that vital part with the divine faculty of reason. Let me not be iouml so doing. SVhat does reason say 1 Hear it; He that sits On the everlasting throne of the high heavens, who cre ated those mighty orbs that blaze iti the firma ment, and Wields them like he would the smallest atoms that float in space who claims the unrivalled sovereignty of the Universe, demands of thee, O man, thy whole heart, agd unargued obedience to his righteous mandates. Honesty acknowledges her sovereign and bows freely to pay him rever ence. We will close this view of the subject by remarking that obedience to the will of Heaven is the first and most natural duty of man, and that therefore, he is bound by the law of nature to per form every duty which innate reason and con science would naturally suggest; (for those du ties incumbent upon man, according to the reveal ed law of God, we are not authorised to handle.) ; Season acknowledges their justness; gratitude j prompts him, honesty urges him to their perform j auce | In the 2 1 place we said we would show that man is ;> .ea unable creature. Yea, Man, that once , > * ■ rypeof the Great Original, fashion ie ii ( the image and likeness of the Master j * udder himself, was endowed with the full vigor and reason of intellect; for he can lay down prem ises and draw conclusions from them ; he can phi losophize on thousands of nature’s works ; can trace effects to their causes: he can judge of the nature of tilings and employ proper means to ac complish an object; he can tell what laws and legulatious are adapted to the spirit and exigen cies of the times; and he can establish institutions for the preservation and protection of himself and posterity Man is endowed with the faculty of perception, by which he gains ideas and knowl edge from the sensations produced in his mind by the olijects around him, and by passing events.— And to aid this power, he has the faculty of me mory, bv which iie can recall the reminiscences of thf* past, that, by the laws of comparison, he •nay ei;} * v gain additional knowledge from new set :o. sand perceptions, or be confirmed in the l ruth of the past; aud in this way, principles in natural philosophy and every thing else, are es tablished. He is endowed wilh the faculty of: judgement, which, according to the laws of anal ogy in some things, and by the aid of thought and calculation in others, can look, though narrowly it must be confessed, into the future. It is owing to the powers of mind that man is superior to all other material objects; for it is universally agreed that of all the works of the Great Architect of the material universe, man is the greatest. Tho’ you soar aloft into the blue vault of heaven, and roam amid those brilliant orbs which sparkle in the skies, you will find no object there to compare with man. Though you descend from thence to our own rolling giobe, with which we are best ac quainted. and survey is diversified surface from pole to pole, and consider its majestic movements and the harmony of the laws that govern them, you find nothimr which rivals his peerless dignity. If you contemplate the countless myriads of ani mated beings which move on the face of the earth, atnl consider the object of their creation, you will lind that man is lord of all. While other animals are confined within circumscribed limits, not much more ample than those in which Mr. Thompson’s “critic fly” was pent, man, as if this pigmy earth were too mean an object to employ all his thoughts, for awhile bid* adieu »o earth and all terrestial ob jects, and in imagination, fltts into the etherial blue, expatiates through the regions of untracked air, ranges among those seiutillaut orbs that bedeck the firmament, bounds from world to world, traver ses the vast domains of boundless creation, until he is bewildered by the magnificence, and lost hi the immensity of God’s works .ldly. Wc will notice some parts of creation, and some of the operations of nature as useful to man. For man’s nse were formed all living crea tures, from the hugest animals that range the for est, to the mo t insignificant insect that creeps in t:*.: dust, or dances in a summer-evening sun h ,u. These, with the tribes of the air, and the inhabitants of the and. **n, acknowledge the superi ority ami dominion of man, into whose hands they submit th''ir lives to sustain his. It is needless to recount th” toils m l drudgery, to which brutes of mm. For man, the glo rious sun and ;her rayed moon were formed, made to i ■ •. ti tles and “seasons, days and years.” Th' ! ? k<* *p up light and life, and vegetation th l:;fi r. to light up our path-way and ;:ut<! cue xt<*; s during the absence of the “king of and iv..’ To enlarge the field of science and add to ;h« joy-.of life, the fair qu en ot ight walks forth in lr r shinin ' mantle *.r ng 'he plan etary orbs and the starry host. For the same rea son the planets perform th a accustomed jour nies round their solar centre, comets r-volvc in their long eccentric flights, and a thousand stars bestrew rhe wide-spread canopy of heaven. It was for man that Earth joined the planets' bar monion s train, that, in running her annual rounds, j and performing her diurnal revolutions, she might j experience the change of seasons and the vicissi* , tudes of day and night. For him the winter’s | rains and snows and freezing winds, ineilow the j soil and fit it for production. For his sustenance, ; comfort and pleasure, reviving spring covers the earth with verdure, gardens, lawns and rivers’ brinks, with aromatic plants and fragrant flowers, fields with luxuriant and waving corn, and or chards with fruits immature and growing. Sum mer, with its genial warmth, matures and purples tin* abundant productions of spring, and generous autumn teems with uubougut treasures. for man, the ;un peeps over the eastern hills, pours forth his refill *ent beams all the day long, and thens i.v ■ below tho western horizon, produciug alternate div and night. J'hus, when the sable shades of night shall have veiled tho skies, and when death-hbe silence prevails throughout the dominions ot night, man, wearied by the toils nd bustle and business of the day, may lay himself down to repose on his welcome couch, and refresh his sinking members. 1* or man the mountains rise, and rear their snow-covered summits far a bove the clouds to cool the air with pleasant bree zes, while from their basis gush pure fountains and cooling streams to water the vast plains be low, and slake the thirst of man and beast For man tnese streams uniting form rivers that widen and deepen as they roll onward towards the dis tant ocean, and erve as public high ways for the transportation of all kinds of commodities to (he best inland marts known to the commercial world, or for the exportation of all sorts of produce, by launching into the mighty deep, which swells and heaves perpetual surfs from shore to shore —from continent to continent, on whose bosom proud ves sels ride, while propitious gales swell their dis THE-GEORGIA MIRROR. tended canvass and drive them with the rapidity of the winds to every port which the active enter prise of navigators has yet discovered. ( la the 4th place we are to consider tiff object of man’s creation. Man, leaving been formed a copy of his Maker, and favored by heaven with reasoning faculties, and every superlative power ot mind, was created for the noblest purposes and | tiie most admirable ends—for the glory of his i Creator, his own happiness and that of his tellows. | W tide man remained in the terrestial paradise.no ; doubt in ray mind but that he entertained theno ! blest and clearest views of the goodness ol his Maker, both from daily intercourse with him, and from the most exalted 'conceptions of the splendid vvarks of creation, whereby he was enabled to glorify the Creator for the perfection of all his at tributes, as fuliy and s:u« erely as it was his duty to do so. But by his disobedience, he not only forfeited his residence in the garden, but lost with it his lofty notions of the Creator and his works, He was driven from the garden as an outcast, polluted and miserable, anil with all the laculties of his mmn blunted, he sunk into wretchedness, shrouded in the death-shades of ignorauce. Suuk as he is into shameful ignorance, man, in his wild uncultivated nature, is utterly inadequate to the accomplishment of the important ends for which he was created. The mind must therelore be im proved, its dormant faculties must be aroused, and must in some measure, regain their pristine vigor. For nothing, beside a well cultivated mine and a properly employed talent, can qualify a man lor that high station in life which his maker de signed he should occupy. W ithout being thus qualified, he cau neither honor linn from whom he had his origin, find happiness tor himself, nor promote that of his fellow beings. This briugs us in the sth place, to consider man’s duty in relation to himself, as a rational being, expecting to eujoy all the happiness that earth can alford, and felicity beyond the limits of his temporal existence, Destined as he is, to oc cupy so distinguished a position iu tiie universe of God, and dependent as lie is, upon the culti vation and developement of his intellectual pow ers for the highest good of which his being is ca pable, the infinite importance of a suitable and thorough course of training, in view of his re sponsible relations, cannot be otherwise than most strikingly obvious to every one. The ac quisition of knowledge, therefore, claims our highest consideration —knowledge, in its noblest and most comprehensive 6ense. For we believe nothing worthy of that honorable appellation, which does not'tend to form the mind, regulate the heart, and establish moral principles. All classes, therefore, ought to improve every mo ment that they possibly can- Every one should endeavor to gain time from the ayocations of life, to be employed in the improvement of the roind. We must learn to weigh arguments, and to judge rationally, for ourselves, that we may be able to rise superior to groveling ignorance, and be wor thy of a name among men. We were not put here to dwindle out our days in ignorance and ob scurity ; nor to learn those things only, which per tain merely to our fancies, appetites and affections, but to become acquainted with the solid truths of nature; to detect the movements of her apparent ly devious footsteps; to weigh all her works care fully in the scale of reason; thus preparing our selves for enjoyment from the discovery of her mysteries,"and fur the adoration of Him who crea ted and sustains her.

More Embarrassment.— We learn that Merchants will not be permitted hereafter to enter goods “for report,” that it is to say if you have a case of goods in a ship, which you know is silk, or worsted, or shawls, and cannat positively say of what matenals they are composed, they will not be allowed the privilege, as heretofore, of having the appraisers say what is the article—in other words you must guess of what material they are made without having seen them, and if you guess wrong you are to he the sufferer. 'Hie Custom House in tends that importers shall grope in the dark, and if they run their head against the wall it is their lookout. This comes from having the Govern ment your enemies instead of your friends. There, is no chance for merchants uuless they change their rulers.—[iV. Y. Star.

THE Subsriber6 will sell on the first Monday in January next, some valuable business Lots on the West side of the Chattahoochee, just above Florence, immediately opposite the Ferry, The situation is beautiful for the location of » town —and from the increasing wealth of the coun try bordering on the Chattahoochee— those who purchase lots will be handsomely profitted by the investment of their money. AVhat will make this town more profitable is that .t is located .inmed - atelv above Florence which we have no doubt will greatly enhance its importance, as well as add td the property of the former place.
