HYMN,
Writitn by the Rtr. Reignatd Rtber, recently ap
pointed Bishop of Calcutta,
From Greenland’* icy mountains,
From India’s coral strand,
Where Africk’* suntiy fountain!
Roll down their golden *and ;
From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from Eftour’s chain.
What though the spicy breeze*
Blow soft on Ceylon’s isle,
Though every prospect please®.
And Va is only vile;
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strewn *,
The heathen, in his blindness,
Bows down to wood and stone.
Shall we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Shall we to men benighted
The Lamp ofLifedeuv ?
Salvation, O ! Salvation !
• The joyful sound proclaim,
TiH each remotest nation ‘S,
Has learnt Messiah’s name !
Waft, waft, ye winds, His story,
And you, ye waters, roll,
Till like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole 5
Till o’er our ransomed nature
The Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator,
In bliss returns to reign.

From the Journal of a Southern Traveller in
„Vra> England.
In one of my excursions, I passed through
the town of Lexington. Here, you recol
lect. was the. first conflict in the war of the
revolution. About seventy militia-men had
assembled -on the meeting house green,
when the British soldiers, who had been
sent to destiny the arms and stores collect
ed at Concord, arrived ut Lexington. Ma
jor Pitcarn, an English officer, rode towards
them, and in an angry tone calling them
rebels ordered them to “ lay down ibeir arms
and disperse.’’ This order was not obey
ed: on which he discharged a pistol, and
commanded his men to fire. Several per
son* were killed, and the militia-men re
treated. There is now erected on the
; spot consecrated by the blood of lhee pro
tomartyrs to the cause of their country. a
•very piain and simple monument of grauile,
with a sni'able inscription.
The gentlemen who accompanied me in
r thi excursion, as well as some aged person*
that I happened to meet with who had per
feet recollection of the whole affair, gave
tn® a very striking picture of the effect pro
■duced by this shedding of blood. It went
like an electrick shock through that and
the adjoining towns. The act of the British
officer was regarded as cdp of wanton mur
der, and the whole population was roused
jto a perfect rage Men at work on hearing
;tb“ report, left iheir oxen standing in the
’plough, and running at full speed to their
Jionses f- r arms, scarcely took time to say
Tare well to their families. And persons in
The woods engaged in hunting, rushed di
rectly to the scene of blood, without return
ing home to bid adieu. The sight of their
I dead and wounded neighbours inflamed them
to madness. Those who were hurt but not
lisabled by the enemy, raged like chafed
lions, and rushed on covered with dust and
blood, resolved to take revenge for their
ilangbtered countrymen. A venerable old
‘ady whose husband was engaged in the f
---air, and one of whose sons now lives in
i /our city, said to me—“ Nobody showed
1 my sign of fear on that day —wives aod
laughters exhorted their husbands and
ons, to go out and avenge the death of
ibeir neighbours,”-
(You know the result The small stores j
collected at Concord were destroyed; two .
[lld pieces were spiked; and some four or
five hundred pounds weight of shot were
jhr >wn into a well! And this being effect
1, the British, although supported by a
h detachmenl, were compelled to make
ty as well as they could to Boston; while
e Massachusetts men hung on their rear,
and harrassed them at every step, The
pedmon co*Hhetn at least three hundred
You can easily imagine after what was
id in a former letter, how l fell while
ar.dmg at the foot of i?* simple tnonu
ent, which preserves the memory of the
en vvtio fell at Lexington; and hearing
ie friend who accompanied me, speak of
ip events to which I have just referred.
-t yon must not suppose that, because I
I Tee every opportunity of recalling recol
tioos of the revolutionary war, i delight
scenes of carnagp and blood. The vivid J
icription of a battle does, indeed, pxcitel
towerful interest, and awaken many fuel-;
;s of a lofty character. But a little re- 1
clion brings to view the sad realities of
; scene; and the humane heart cannot
t deplore and execrate the depravity
dch makes “ man a wolf to man ;” and
iurn over the desolations produced by
vlegs ambition and lust of power. Still,
wever, the men and the events of that
fiod ought often to be called to.remem*
ance. What our fatbtrs told us ought
ver to be forgotten. And while the an*
y passions which were roosed in relation
the British ought not to be
embed, surely the feeling: which perva
d the great mass of onr population, and
i!ed them as a band of brothers, ought to
exciKd in the bosom of every child that
born among us. The present generation
gbl to kpew that jo those days of glory,
* tbe men of the South and the North, of
the East and the West, fought aod conquer*
.! ed together. And that by (his union of
hearts and hands, the independence of
. America was achieved. The imperishable
wreath of glory was entwined round the
whole nation; our precious birthright was
defended and maintained by the valour and
perseverance of all. While tbe aged in
this part of the country were telling the
tale of their country’s wrongs, and of their
countrymen’s prowess, I was made to per
ceive that the people here had just the same
feelings as to American liberty and inde
pendence, that are common to the citizens
of my u father land;” and I thought that if
the men of the South could hear what 1
heard, and see even the dim eyes of nge
kindling up with youthful brilliancy, and
flashing fire on the re-awakening of former
days, they would renounce all local preju
dices, banish all narrow feelings, and say,
with emlting patriotism, of ail parts of the
land, this is my country, and of the people,
these are my fellow citizess —may Heaven
bless thetn forever !
The conviction is every day more fasten
ed on my mind, that greater pains ought to
he taken to promote kindly feelings among
the people iu different parts of our country.
I* is an undisputed maxim that “ United we
stand, divided a-e /ail.” The state of Eu
rope is such as to give greater importance
to this political aphorism than ever. The
manner in which the French Revolution has
terminated ought to teach a lesson to all.
One party ought now to see, that au unbri
dled democracy leads the way to military
despotism; and the other, may well lay
aide their fears of the prevalence of ami
social and irreligious principles. The Ho
j ly .lilies have leagued together to preserve
things as they are ; to prevent changes and
pot down reform. There has ceased to he
a strong sympathy belween the people of
the United States and the people ot .Eu
rope;* and tbe onfy direct influence which
the old world exerts on the new is through
governmental intercourse. The old causes
ot political difference are now done away.
It is time then, for old distinctions to cease;
aod for all classes of politicians to unite, in
sustaining tbe precious institutions of our
own happy country. If the firs’ grateful
aspiration to the Father of all mercies ought
to be—as I have no doubt it ought—that we
were born Christians and not heathens ; tbe
second, that every infant ought to learn to
send op to hi Creator is, that we were horn
American citizens and not European subjects
But under God, we owe this high distinction
to the united labours of our great forefa
thers. The people in all parts of the coun
try would, at all limes, be ready to feel, and
acknowledge this, were it not for the devi
ces of ambitious rasa, who are willing to
employ unworthy arts and raise bad pas
sions, for the purpose of elevating them
solves. Id this state of thing*, the duty of
enlightened and honest men, in every divis
ton of the country, is to promote the culture
and reciprocation of kindly feelings, so aa to
counteract the design* of such, as would
sow the seeds of discord and disorganization 1
among ns.
* Ihe state of things has greatly changed since
this letter was written ; and now there is among
the American people but one sentiment and one
feeiitur, iri relation to the war against the Spanish
Constitution.—Pub.
ANECDOTE.
Some years ago, a delirious man attended
a L'niversalist meeting m company with a
brother who had great control over him.
The preacher, in illustration of the justice
and goodness of God in the salvation of nil
men, adduced the character of President
Washington. “He was a benevolent man.
Placed in the highest seat of national au
thority, he sought to promote the happiness
ol all. He bore no ill will to a single per
soq in the nation. He did not delight in
tormenting the meanest subject.” The
man beside himsell was uneasy; and fre
quently attempted to rise and speak; but
bis brother held him by the coat. As the
preacher however still enlarged on the uni
versal benevolence of Washington, he at
length broke from the grasp of his keeper,
and stepping forward exclaimed. “ True,
but in time of the rebellion in Pennsylvania,
W asbington turned his whole artillery against
the insurgents.” The preacher was con
founded, and closed his harangue. Quer*-,
\\ hich of the two bad the best claim to
reason ?
A distinguished American Clergyman, on
a visit to England, was engaged in soliciting
donations for a college, with which he had
recently become connected. He was one
day invited to preach in the King’s chapel.
In the midst of his sermon, the king
(George III.) turning to the qi£ en exclaim
ed, “Why Charlotte, what a preacher!
what a preacher, Charlotte ! he even ex
cels our archdeacon!” The reverend gen
tleman paused, fixed his eye with firmness
on the king, and exclaimed, “ When the li
! on roaretb, the beasts of the foreit do trem
j ble; and when the Almighty speaketb, let
the kings of the earth keep silence before
him! ,? - —The preacher was interrupted no
. naore; bur the next day the king sent for
1 him, complimented him highly, and gave
him a handsome donation for the benefit of
bis college.
Battle is a word consisting only of six
, letters, and very easily pronounced, but
I the meaning of such a word is large #bd
extensive. It is a question of no ordtnarv
t moment, whether two or three hundred
■ thousand men shall be allowed to die peace
i ably in their beds, or be butchered and,
• mangled by piecemeal. When we speak
of war, we rarely think of any thing more
I than cannon roaring, Colours flying, glory
crowning, and the millions shouting pane-
I gyrics. The word battle does indeed mean
i this; but it comprehends a great deal more.
) it means wires made widows, and children
orphan*— poverty, beggary, motilated
limbs, and churchyards extended. We
have a modest phraseology by which we
endeavour to rob even death of his terror,
when we speak of battle. We promise the
youthful hero, whether he falls or survivee,
immortal existence in the gratitude of his
countrymen. We have said all this and
much more of the gallant, patriotic, hut
unfortunate Lawrence ; but when this etor-1
nal gratitude of his countrymen was put to!
the proof, when a small pittance of our i
prodigal expenditure was requested for his j
widow, it was found that gratitude was too ’
expensive an article.

Gen. Lefebvre, who commanded the French
army at the seige of Zaragoza, having reduced the
defences shout the town to a heap of ruins, and
possessed himself of nearly half the city, required
the Spanish govrrnourto surrender,in a note con
taining only these words: “ Head-quarters,
Church of St. Eugracia. Capitulation.” The
heroick Palafox imrnt riiately returned the follow
ing answer: 44 Head Quarters, Zaragoza. War,
even to the knife’s point.” The French were
compelled to abandon the siege.
