*.M*y his bone* be broken!’ In his presence
R ii>i)i Joshua Ben Chauma produced a Lhz:

they burnt it with fire, and it was found in
combustible ; they cast it into water, and it
could not be softened ; lastly, they hammer
ed it upon an anvil, and both the anvil and
hammer were broken without affecting the
Luz. The Rabbinical writers, with their
wonted perversion of Scripture, support
this sillv notion by a verse from the Palnas .
‘He keepeih all his bones, so that none ot
them is broken.’ A dew is to descend upon
the earth prepara'ory to the resurrection,

of the dead. During ihe pontificate ot lr*

ON THE OMNIPOTENCE OF GOO.
By a Young Alan, 17 12 yurs aj’ age. who
has been in ike Asylum about 8 years.
God occupies ail space, and it i* Itop.
that there is not a place in the universe
and beyond it, tvbere He is not present.
God i’ present over all the earth ; He fills
all the celestial orbs ; He occupies the
space between them.—God is in Heaven,
and beyond it; He is present even id hryll,
and beyond it. It is a sublime conception,
and who cau t'orm it ; Here God occupies
every place; He is present over the expan
cive ocean, yea a; hi* bottom; over the
boundless and desolate desert* ; in the tin
inhabited t nests ; and tn secret unexplored
parts of the earth; no man can avoid Hi*
presence. It is an awful thing, that God is
in evety place. Whithersoever von go,
or whether you do something, God i pre
sent ; no action nor thought can plude His
eye. God’s omnipresence checks persons,
when they are going to commit some sin
or in th® act 0 f transgressing the Divinp
Law. His presence is a good thing indeed,
it keeps from sir*. We should never for
gel His presence, nor be unconcerned at it.
Many have had ihe folly of thinking that
God is not present, and cannot see what
they do. Whenever and wherever we
an affliction or a danger, and seek for help,
we can have recourse in God for relief or
protection. He is always near to us.
When we are in want of something, and
lie nears our application, we must not think
that He is absent afar, and does not hear
our reqnet.
hi all our thoughts and actions, we should
rp neuiber that God i* present, watching
over our motions, intellectual *ainJ active,
and our feelings ; we should conduct in
such a manner as pleasps Him, and avoid
such thoughts and deeds as offend him;
| least we should be charged with transgres
I sions at His tribunal.

ABOUT A YELLOW BIRD.
By a young Lady who has been at the Asylum
nearly 4 years.
1 always love lo -ee a yellow bird very
much. It is a very beautiful animal. Its
colours are very yellow, llseyes are very
bright and black. It lias a small bill. Its
limits are very small and wings are very
short. It has small claws, and is a very
lively bird, and always sings elegantly. It
is coulined in the cage and hang on the
limbs of the trees, and re-t- on the branch,
anil is much pleased lo play with itself ll
voice is very fine that the people are very
much delighted to hear it like mu-ick. I
wi-h to heat it very much hut I cannot
hear. They can easily hear it. lam very

EXTRAORDINARY MUNIFICENCE.
A paragraph has lately gone the round of
the papers, announcing that a gentleman ot
Virginia had emancipated upwards of eighty
slaves , and chartered a vessel to send them
at his own expense, to llayti; but without
giving the name of the author of so distin
gin-lied an act of munificence. We thiuk
! it due to justice to supply this deficiency,
and to add the following i'acts which have
| been communicated lo ns by gentlemen ta
miliar with them, as well as bv Captain
Rns-el, < ne of the owners of the hng Han
nab & Elizabeth, of Baltimore, the vesse.
j chartered.
j The gentleman who has thus distinguish
j ed himself, is Mr. David Minge, of Charles
> City County, living near Sandy Point, on
j James river, ('apt. Ru*el inform-, that
] there were put on board the Hannah &
Elizabeth, eighty coloured people ts
j different ages, ftom three tnon'h- to forty
years, being all the slaves which Mr M.
owned except two old men, whom he had
likewise manumitted, but who being past
service be retains anil supports them. The
value of these negroes, at the pi ices now
going, might be ofttimated at about twenty
six thousand dollars! and Mr. Minge ex
p-nded previous to their embarkation,
about 1,200 dollars in purchasing ploughs,
hoe, iron and other articles ol husbandry
tor them, besides providing them withseve
ral suits of clothe* to each, provisions, gro
ceries, cooking utensil s , and every thing
which he supposed they might require for
their comfort during the passage, and for
iheir us* afterdheir arrival out. He also
paid $1,600 for the charter of the vessel.
Bit .Mr. Minge’s munificence did not end
here—on the bank ot the river, as th**y
were, about to go on board, he had a peck
of dollars brought down, and calling them
all arouud him, under a (ree, distributed the
hoard among them in such sums, and under
such regulations that each individual did, or
would receive seven dollars. By thi- pro
vision, Mr. M. calculated that his emigrants
would be enabled to commence the culliva
lion of the soil immediately afler their ar
rival, without being dependent on President
Boyer for any favour whaiever, unless per
mission to improve the government lands
might be so considered.
Mr- Minge is about 24 or 25 years of age,
unmarried and unincumbered in every res
peel ; possesses an ample fortune, aod has
received the benefits of a collegiate educa
tion at Harvard University. He assigned
no other motive for having freed his slaves,
and foe his subsequent acts of generosity to
wards them, than that he conceived it would
be doing service to his country, to send
them out of it; they bad all been good ser
vanls, but that he was rich enough without
them.
We have heard of splendid sacrifices at
the shrine of philanthropy; ag*-d men on
quitting the stage of mortal existence have
bequeathed large endowments to publick
chanties, and princely legacies to religious
and moral institutions. But where shall we.
find an instance of the kind attributable to a
man of Mr. Minge’s age 1 The case we be
lieve is without parallel.
The Caliph who had lost his way.
The Caliph Mahadi having lost his way
while be was bunting, met an Arab, who
generously off-red him hospitality, and led
him to his lent, where he kindly adminis
tered to his wants, the Caliph being faint
with hunger, thirst and fatigue. He gave
him brown bread and milk ; and the Caliph,
though well refreshed by this humble fare,
asked (be Arab, if he had not something
else to set before him? The Arab brought
him a pitcher of wine ; Mahadi, after hav
ing drank a good draught, asked him if he
knew him. “No,” said the Arab. “I am
one of the great men belonging to the
court of thp Caliph,” replied Mahadi.
Then he took another draught, aod asked
the Arab ifhe knew him ? “Did you not
just now tell me who yon were ?” answer
the Arab. “No. lam a greater man than
1 told you 1 wa°,” and he took a third
draught & asked Ihe same question—“ lam
willing to believe what you told me a* first,”
replied (lie Arab. “1 am the Caliph.” ad
ded Mahadi, “before whom every body
trembles. At this time the Arab hastily
snatched up his pitcher and carried it away.
“ What did you carry away the pitcher
for?” said the Caliph, on the return of hi*
host : * For fear,” retorted the Arab, “ that
if thou had*! taken the fourth draught, thou
wouldst have told me that thou wast our
Holy Prophet; and if thou hadst taken the
fifth, thou wouldst have given thyself out
to be the Great Creator himself.” The
Caliph burst into a fit of laughter and hi*
numerous retinue having been long in
search of him, at lncgth arrived at the
place where he was seated with the Arab,
to whom the Caliph ordered to be given two
I changes of raiment and a purse ot gold.
THE DEAD SEA.
At last we reached the brink of the pre
cipices which hang over Ihe Dead Sea.
The dawn was now appearing; and in the
gray and cold light, the lake was seen far
beneaih. stretched out to an interminable
length, while (he high mountains of Arabia
Pettaee oppo9itß were shrouded in darkness.
Tne descent of the heights wa? long and
difficult; and ere we reached the bottom,
ihe ruddy glow of morning was on the pre
cipices over our heads. The line of shor*
at the bottom was about two hundred yards
wide, and we hastened to the edge of (be
lake; but for several yards from it the
foot sunk in a black mud, and its surface
was every where covered with a grayish
scurf, which we were otdiged to remove
before tasting it. There was not a breath
of wind, and the water* lay like lead on the
shore. Whoever has seen the Dead Sea,
will ever after have its aspect irnpii *9ed on
his memory; it is,in truth, a gloomy and
’ fearful spectacle. The precipice’s, in gen
eral, descend abruptly into ihe lake, and on
account of their height, it is seldom agitat
ed by the winds: its shores are not visited j
by any footstep, save that of the wild Arab,
and he holds it in superstitious dread. On
some parts of the rock* there is a thick i
sulphurous encrustation, which appears for- (
eign to their substance; and in their deep
descents, there are several deep caverns,
where the benighted Bedouin sometimes j
finds a home. No unpleasant effluvia are j
perceptible around tt, and birds are seen
occasionally dying acro-s. For a consider
able distance from the bank the water ap j
neared very shallow ; this, with toe soft
-lime of Ihe bottom, and the fatigue we had \
undergone, prevented our trying.its buoy |
ant properties by bathing. A lew inches|
beneath the surface of the mild are found j
those black salphurou- stone-, out ot which ;
crosses are made and sold to the pilgrims.]
The water has an abominable taste, ml
which that of salt predominate*: and we
ohserved encrustations of salt on the sut
face of some of the rocks.

MYSTERIES IN RELIGION.
The enlightened Obristian does uot dis
own the mysteries of his creed; since rea
son requires their admission, and faith de
mands his credit, lie is convinced; for a
religion froqi heaven could not be without
them ; he assents , because revealed religion
professes to contain them. Nor would he
arraign infinite wisdom on subjects trans
cending bis limited province.
The rejectors of mysteries from revela
tion mistake its nature and design, and vir
tually deny the incotnprehen-ible nature of
its author. They would defeat its object,
destroy its value, and di-prose its divine or
igin. Yet human pride offended at what
ever may humble ns pretensions, and as
short sighted as arrogant, would question
it* truth from the circumstance of its mys
teries.
If we find mysteries in nature, we ought
to expert them in revelation. If we cao
not understand the entire movements of
that part of the grand scheme of the uni
verse, which lies open before us; we can
not reasonably hope to fathom its origin,
scope and results. Nature and Revelation
having a common author might he expected
to have a common character in regaid to
mysteries. Revelation especially should
he supposed mysterious; being a more di
rect communication of the character and
will of Him, whose wisdom i* inscrutable,
and his ways unsearchable. Finite objects
are relatively such. Bat the perfections of
Jehovah could only exhibit new mysteries
to our enlarged comprehension. Revela
tion, therefore, while displaying his attri
butes, unless to its purpose of instruction,
it superadds that of endowing us with
more than finite intellects, must present
mysteries to our notice.
Nor is its purpose of instruction thereby
defeated. For while the subjects of its
most important propositions are incompre
hensible ; those propositions are intelligi
ble, demonstrable and subservient to useful
results. We know what is meant by the
assertion, Jphovah is eternal. And we
readily admit its troth; unless we would
credit the absurd notion of the uncaused or
igin of all things from nothing. But no
computation by any ratio and to any extent
can approximate to a full comprehension of
the word eternity. One mysterious truth
admitted, the objection to mysteries, from
their incredibility, is removed. Reason,
therefore, requires our assent to them on
the same ground with othersentimpnts, and
their admission or rejection on the basis of
evidence. Mysteries in religion have more
over a salutary influence on the character,
conduct and happiness of mankind. Who
can embrace Ihe magnitude of Jehovah’s
power;—trace the boundaries of bis all
discerning comprehension, or limit the ex
tent of his all pervading presence ? Yet the
sentiments, thus demanding our assent, be- j
long both to natural and revealed religion;’
and are suited to influence the regulation of
our lives, and to afford substantial consola
tion in a coarse of virtue. It is vain then ,
to assert that mysterious truths cannot con
cern us. They are indeed connected with
our highest interest and afford the only ef
fectual motives to the practice of virtue.
So that if all mysteries were removed from
our religious creed; moral obligation must
be therewith utteiiy abandoned.
My-tenes in religion therefore demand
onr uobesilating assent. To suspend our
belief in them, as some, to avoid consequen
ces, pretend to do, is irrational. They
must he true or false. If true; why not
embrace them? If false; why not reject
them ? Suspense in regard to important
propositions is rational, only when they are
unintelligible, or when their evidence in
our view is insufficient to establish or dis
prove them. In other ca-es, it is our duty
to believe , and believing, to act. Reason i3
ihe minister of divine intelligence in the
human soul to draw conclusions from evi
dence, and to establish them a- prinuph 8
of Conduct. But such su- petise of opinion
- must he a mere evasion. For unless we
darken its vision, reason cannot resist the
light of evidence and the force of convic
tion.
Since a rejection of mysteries in religion
must involve iheir rejection in totpj consid
er what is implied in their rejection. If we
rej-ct mysteries, we must reject many
] trill:.s a* readily and generally as
jif intuitive. For who can comprehend the
| full import of infinite space, eternal dura
j lion and endless numbers? We must reject
| philosophy with all hersutdime discoveries,
| and undermine (lie fair superstructure of
; human sctsnce, raised lo adorn, ennoble- and
bless mankind. We must reject religion
natural as well as revealed; w hose only on
i ligation i* derived from the sanction of iuli
nite authority. We must reject ail g.-vern
ment, and destroy the only -ale foundation
of all institution- human and divine, tt’e
must reject the testimony of onr own sen
ses, and even the evidence of our own con
sciousness, and involve all ihings in the pro
found darkness of scepticism. We must irt
‘.effect exclude from our senses, the efie-r
----ling rays of day, and from our souls the
1 more general rays of revelation; whpe we
1 obscure that medium , through which (he
beams of heavenly illumination are irans
] milled, irradiating our vision and warming
] our faculties into life and enjoyment.
CERIN.
War forbidden by the Gospel. A late,
captain in the Roval Navy of England ha*
addressed a letter to His Majesty, resigning
his commission, because he had “determin
ed as a Christian, never to draw a sword nor
pull a trigger, for (be purpose of shedding
human blood nor yet to return a blow for a
blow, or an insult for art insult,” Cap-ain
Tnomas Thiush, the name of this singular
officer, says he ha? employed three y.-ars
in digesting the subject; and in retirement,
reading and earnest prayer, and serious re
flection, he has conscientiously tender and bia
resignation. Capt Thrush bad for some
time held his commission open half pay;
and there was buMiltle prospect that he
would ever be called into actual service;
and as his resignation will deprive him of
the pittance, which bis limited means ren
dered necessary to his support —his conduct
appears the more extraordinary, and his
motive.” the more disinterested. It is not
our intention to give any elaborate opinion
on this controverted subject ; we have only
to say that we earnestly desire to see the
Hay when the gospel shall have so univer
sal an influence on the heart? of men, a* tu
eradicate all those evil dispositions “ from
whence,” in the language of Si. James,
“ come wars and figlilings.”

Gentlemen —Please insert the annexed lines in
your paper, and oblige A patron.
On the. death of Mr. (J. W. If. late of Warren
ton. who died on a visit to New York , aged 23.
Ah Death ! the sad, the certain doom,
Os mortal man on earth!
Thy hand, unsparing, to the tomb
Consigns old age and youth.
My friend is dead —he is no more !
God call’d him—it i right;
His soul, to find a happier shore,
To heaven hath wing’ 1 its flight.
Then why repine—’(was heaven’s decree,
That bade him home to rest ;
And all mankind, as well as he,
Must hear that high behest.
Shall I to secret grief submit,
His virtues not record,
Sing not his praises, nor commit
One eulogizing word.
No deeks heroick, valiant done,
Are told in hi* short story ;
No civick honours e’er were won,
To claim immortal glory.
A heart to treachery’s wiles unknown,
Just, generous, and sincere ;
Did those, to whom it best was known,
Its virtues most revere. melii.ot.
In this season, while all animal, and almost
vegetable nature seems to pant beneath Ihe heat.
| we hope (hat the labours of that serviceable slave
! D,a, '> tlle l,orf, e, will he regarded in mercy.
He suffers for our convenience and comfort—
performs long and exhausting journeys, in fever
ish blood, an*l has no tongue lorn ke us acquain*
, ted with the extent of his miseries. The first in
| telligence which his master receives of his debili
ty and exhauslion, is from the death of the poor
animal; he drops down in his harness, ard ex
pires before relief can be giwn to his afflictions.
To so faithful and iincniiiplainiog a servant, to
one who so cheerfully endures so much misery
for cur benefit, we are bound by a double tie to
be merciful.— Balt. . imer ,
