EUSEBEUS, THE GOuD PHYSICIAN Kill to the minister of the gospel, w. ku<'W ol no person whose sphere ol uselm ness is so extensive as that of the physicist He visits all classes of people, and has it it hi* power to administer oot only the thing necessary to the body, but lo those thing calculated to.bmd up the broket, spirit, t encourage the de-pondtng heart, and t bring forth real merit to its proper standing in society. We would rather have the h--n our of reviviog the drooping spirits ot ;< worthy individual, and ol restoring hunt his 1 1 tends and to his usefulness io society, than to wear the laurels of a Washington, a Lauyette, or a Bolivar. We were led to these refleclions from a circumstance of recent occurrence. Eost beus is a physician who has risen to a high degree ol eminence id his profession, no le** by his ecientifick attainments, than by his practical piety, affability of manners, and universal benevolence. He is alike alien tive to the calls of the pour and the weal thy, and embraces every opportunity to ad vance the temporal and eternal interests ot his patients. Garcia was one ofhis patient*. Bui Garcia was poor, though always indus trious in an honourable calling. At length hi* health began to dechoe apace ; nor Could toe unwearied addition of Eusebens restore him to his wonted cheerfulness. At length the penetrating eye of Eusebeusdi* covered the seat of the disorder He then genny reproved Garcia, id the foliowing terms; —“My dear Garcia, you must ac knowledge that Hitherto my attention to you and your itttie family have been unre milting, and that uothing has been left tin tried that in aiy view would conduce to your ease or coailort. \V by then should yon conceal from me the real cause of your disorder. The seal of it I have indeed dis covered —it lies deep rooted in your mind But the real enure you have ungenerously buried 10 jour bosom.” “ Atas! my good physician.” said Garcia, “ how couid 1 impart a portion of the pain 1 leel, to the bosom that has already mam fesied so much anxiety lor me and mine Mine is the common tut ol man, let me sub mu to it with paitence and resignation.” “ Garcia,” eaid Eusebeus. in a firm but winning accent, “ 1 never yet witnh-Id th>- heipn.g hand Irom a suffering fellow mm tab i entreat y u, by all the lies of friend ship, to disclose to uie, without reserve, the cause of all your Sorrows.” • Your kii.dness,” said Gircia, “has overcome uiy re-o'u ton. Bui what lam about to relai -1 g you to bury within the recesses -t your bosom. You k ow that 1 have a young and iovely family, and that the busi dp - in which I am engaged has hi'herto bee,,; ,rdty sufficient for their support; at though at pres-nt my prospects, are more fla ‘ern.g. Bui uiy father, whose head is siiveivd o’er with the (rests of more than •eve; ‘v winters, is languishing on a bed of sir.hue-.-, mure than two hundred miles dts tan . by dim of hard labour he has reared to maunood a dozen children, and now I fear he languishes (or waut ot (he comforts of life. Mine eye lias not beheld him for many years, and ne Dever nas seen, never laid Ihe hand of benediction on (he glossy beads ol my two lovely children. O, could 1 wing my vvay to his bed side to administer to his comfort, could 1 present before hi:n his little grand children, sorely he would Bgatti grow youog, and ins withered heart would leap again tor joy But alas! (he means are no: within my reach. Gracious Ht-aveu—thou kooweßi my heart—supply by thv bounty wiiat it wouid bestow.”— “ Wha’ sum,” said the impatient Eusebeus, “ wouid serve to make you and your tittle ones hippy in ioe embraces of your ven-r ----able parent.”—“Alas!” said Garcia, “it would require dqllar*.”—“ Heaven be praised,” said Eo-ebeu*, •• that 1 a.n at length en-bled to remove the cause ol your malady. Here the sum is at your service —rake a—may Heaveu -peed you on your journey, and sweeten the in dual embraces of a venerable parent and his worthy off spring ” “ Nay,” said Garcia, “your gund ner-as overpowering, but l cannot avail my •elf of y. ur kind offer; lor though should my health be preserved, I cau again refund the money, yet as that is precarious”—— “ Hush,” said the benevolent Eu*eh.us, “ my principles n| action you long have known—l am not rich, nui 1 have a compe tency ot this world’s goods, and I do not crave a greater cumiori tins side eternity, than the enjoyment of making others bap jiy, and of fulfilling, in all ns extent, the m junctions of my blessed Master—‘As ye w old have other* do to you, do ye even so to them.’ These, dear Garcia, you kuuw to !>e my principles —do not thwart mein mv dtemp's to act in conformity to them. Take, then, the requisite sum, go, and be bapny.” We will not detain onr readers, by flat iog the speedy cure effected by Eusebeu* on the person of his patient; nor the hear ty embraces and heavenly benediction* ol G-rcta and his venerable parent. Suffice jt <o say, that Eusebeut. the good physician, is •tdl in the prime ol life, baa an extensive practice, a competency of the good thing* of this life, is remembered daily in the pi ous aspirations of thousands, and is confi dendy looking forward to the enjoyment of a better country, where it shall be found that they who have sown plente; osly shall reap also plenteously.— Zion's Herald. From the Family Fisitor. A TRUK NARRATIVE In a neighbourhood in this elate remark able for it* hospitality, its number of idle y„u g oven, and ns destitution • the means of religious knowledge, card playing and other games of hazard prevailed to an un paralleled extent. For a time they were ■ >l,tilled til the gentlemen; but alter a while several ladies ventured upon the game of chess. This was represented to tie a game, not of chance, but of science, well calculated to exercise and strengthen die intellectual powers; and it was also be lieved to he sanctified by the circumstance, • hat a minister ot the Gospel in a town 150 mile- distant, believed it innocent, and was nnselt often seen at the chess board. I (.ever knew the opinion of a minister to car- . ty so much weight with it before; it acted uke a charm; and the game was entered ..pon with avidity, and soon became the pre vailing topick of discourse. From (he chess p*rd to the card table, the tran-ltion was • ay andnatnial. One lady after another, was prevailed upon to amuse herself wrh ■vni*t. as a neces-ary relaxation from the fatigues of the long and laborious game ot -cience. Having run into temptation, they were tillable to set bounds to their desires; and the prayer, “lead us not into tempta tiou,” become a vain repetition and a sol emu mockery. Money vva* soon staked by ‘he gentl-men, played for, and won by the ladie-. At first their consciences would not permit them to retain it, and it was return e<l to ttie loser; but in a short time their scruples wore away, and money appeared to be the chief motive and object of the game ; vvbi'e small sum- only were staked,! th it they might escape the appellation of gamblers. Now there resided in the same family wiih four of these ladle-, a young man of a serious cast of mind, though not a professor ot religion. He had often taken a part in the game of chess, but when he discovered the dangerous tendency of such amuse ments, he renounced it entirely, and could not be prevailed upno to touch a card, l though he had formerly been passionately fond of the game. He had a high regard for the family, and beheld with tender con cem the dangerous course pursued by the young ladies. They had now arrived at the iDi-l critical and important period ot tile. No pain* had been “pared to give ihem the best education the country could afford Their mind- were rapidly maturing, and receiving their bias for time and etemi i ty. He was ahoui to leave the couniry, i and did n->t expect to see them again Hi“ sentiments respecting every species of gam filing, were'known in them; but no attempt had ei er been made to instil ihena into their minds. He could not, however, un tbisoc c (Sinn, satisfy hi- conscience, without em hraring the last opportunity he should ever enjoy, in converse with them most seriously on the -rreoie danger of (heir course, al ■hough-he had no reason to expect any good resuh. Accordingly, after seeking the aid of the Holy Spirit in the discharge if so solemn a duly, the subject was intro tuced vvi;h great camion and tenderness, and every consideration brought forward -vhich weald ha I.Lely to influcasr a raliwit al, tirimor'al, and accountable being ; the interests ol time and eternity were, present ed to their view, in the most impressive manner; and he concluded by requesting a promise that they would, from that ‘line, re nounce cards aDd every game of hazard Alter some hesitation this promise wu* cheerfully given ; and I am happy to add, ha* been religiously kept to the present day. Much ridicule was anticipated from the young men of the neighbourhood, but nothing of the kind wa ever heard Sev eral other ladies followed their example; gambling fell into disrepute; and a number of young men renounced it. FRANCESCA. The following remarks are from the Columbian Star, old are in reply lo some strictures made in the National Intelligencer, which lias always evinced a decided hostility to Missionary en terprise. To Editors of the lotelligencer intimate ‘iial they have “occasion to know” that the statement ‘hey make i correct. We have occasion io know a little about thpe matters, as welt as they We know that the money lor Baptist missions ha* beeo obtained tiy collection* after sermons, eith er be tore associations orcburches; by sums voted io the object, or raised for the ex pies- pin pose, by societies, whose,- mem tiers contribute Irom twenty five cents to two dollars per annum; and in some cases, by direct contributions to Agents—made. < tther in compliance with an Agent’s re quest, or on the original motion of the donor. As to the collections taken np after ser mnns, we presume the Editor ß know as li tie as we do ourselves, (we have had oc casion at times to count the money,) who contributed the cents, the sninll pieces of til ver. or the notes of small amount , that coq •‘itutedthe aggregate sum taken np The rich man’s -mail donation, perhaps given heedlessly, and “ the widow’s two mites,” sanctified by her tears and her prayers, may have been there—and so might the contrihution of an insolvent, lor augbt we know—hut we could not distinguish the one from the other. The Searcher of Hearts alone koew who made these offer mgs, & with wbal motives they were pre sented. As to the contributions made to societies hy their members, these individual sums are so small, and so well defined, that we caonot believe the Editors could have al , luded to them, and we therefore pa*s them 1 -•ver without further remark. We have examined the Annual Reports of the Board, made in years when the for eign missionary operations of our deoomin- 1 alien were most vigorously and systemati- 1 rally prosecuted, in order to ascertain ifj they furnished evidence that the widow’s I pi-tance apd the creditor’s property were wrung Irom them lo support the missions j The perianal contributions, in bo case ex* eecdod twenty dollars. 3eteral persons) 1 in Tennessee anil K- nlurky contributed tr-n dollars; and many rsnus in various parts of the country gve five dollars ; but the mass o| contrihution was composed of very small sums. Neither of the above per sons, wt venture to say, wil thank the Ed itors for the singular concern mamlesied hy them lo prevent any lulur* application of their money they may deem expedient ; nor wilt they be satisfied that any indivul ual has a right to publish them to the world, in the terms used by the Inteliigen cer. i The Editors have acknowledged that they du not consider one system of religion ’ as good as another ; md they even “ assure” us that they are “iar from thinking so!” A- they admit that there alA* degrees of excellence in this reject, they cannot dc ny, then, that one of the numerous systems at present adopted, mist be *he best. —Is Dot (his the Christian Rbugion ? and should not all that differ from this he rejected ? ■ Such we conceive to bethe reasonable view o! tne case; and thia idea comports with the command of the Saviour “f men, to “preach the Gospel to every creature ” In giving ibis command he do-a n--t encour age bis disciples to labour, by a promise that all who hear the wnid -hall believe Hi teaches them a very different lesson : “ He that beheveth and i baptized, shall b saved ; but lie that belineth nut shall be damned ” But. notwithstanding thv want of 9ik j cess wnich the Editors say has been expt rieoced by the missionaries in India, n their efforts “to change the religions <o the uncounted million.- of ht quarter ot the globe ; religious with successive age have so interwoven with -their very natures as to render ever hopeless ihe project of-np plantmg them, even hy a belter, to any -xteiil,” they furnish u- with evi dence to the contrarj. unless they consider “ Unitariamsm” no better —nr so like the very natural religion ol the Hindoo, as t Oe unworthy ot a continued effort to in'm dnee it in India, even though the “great apparent success” which it ba* already met with in that ,quarter ol the globe, should reuder it probable that it would soon be universally a Oj t and. They say “ Bibles have been printed and distributed, at a vast expense, and some of the more learned natives have taken occasion from j thence to show that the Missionaries do not tbem*elves understand their own reli gioo. AmJ, in fact, one of these Missinna rie* is actually converted from the system he. was sent out to teach; and is, with great apparent success , teaching a system which ptuoaiiiy the Society that sent him deem very little belter tban infidelity ” The in dividual* alluded to io this quotation, are Ram Mohun Roy, a learned Hindoo, and Mr. Adam, a convert to Unitariamsm, but to what modification of it we have not been informed. li seems not a little singular, that the Ed itors of the Intelligencer, who “profess re pu h lican principles in political matters. hnut(l ce *irong n UIH? for HSlOCrtlll cal seodments in religion. “ The learned” oatives —“the men of note”—have embra ced the principles of Ram M hon Roy— but, say the Editois, if we ask what has been the r-*uit us the labour* of the mis •lonarie- in India, they refer us t> *• a list of a few poor obscure Hindoos , perhaps not a Hundred in all, who seem to have embraced the principles of the missionaries ” We do not consider it necessary to bring forward Scrip-nre proofs u> place the sentiment- of the Editors in a ridiculous light It mi-v he sufficient to remind (hem that the chosen apostles of the Redeemer were not “ learn ed” men; tut, if they please, “ poor obscure fishermen!” We cannot suppose that they are ignorant of ihe fact, and ueed to be in formed, that the “poor, obscure” yeoman ry of this country, among whom are the mass of Christians, constitute the safeguard and the glory of the nation. But in their reference to Ram Mohun Roy, we discover the rcrf springs of the Editors’ hostility to missions—to the support us Sunday School* in India ; to the circula tion of the Bible, (the common version of it,) even thuugh it be sent alone amoug Ihe natives, and “ without note or comment.” And here we discover the grounds ol their hostility to the “ Quiioiick attempt,” as they denominate it, of carrying the Gospel to foreign lands, in obedience to the com maods of the Great Head and Lawgiver of the Church. Will they assert that it was “ quixotick” in the apostles to attempt to change the false systems of religion which “were so interwoven in *he very natures” i-f the people of their day ? Was it otick ” in them to perseveie in their effor 1 *, aaen success did not instantly attend them? Wag it “ quixotick ” in them to bear the m suits and contumely ol men who theD op posed the Go-pel?—Was it “ quixotick” m them to suffer litinitbnienl, imprisonment, scourging, and at last to lay down their live*, under ‘he most ignominious circum sitxices, rather than disobey the. command ment of their Master? —II i! was, then is it so now ; but nui otherwise. The command to “teach all nations,” has not been abro gated , or, if it has been, what constitutes the validity of a compliance with it in this City, or iu any other part of the nutver-e— ----and on wbat ground is it professedly observ ed by those who would prevent its univer sal exercise ? The Christian religion is adapted to the character of the whole human race—not to j a part of it. To all it bear 9“ a savour ot life unto life, or of death unto death.” Need we go iolo its early history to show the Editors that difficulties attended the la bours of its propagators? Need we show them that it was once as new to the native ! Briton as to tie native of the Sandwich ltd laud*? Need are show them that the reh gums of those I-laud* have been “soppla “ : ed” by it? W t presume loat this i* non cessary. Bat we will undertake to show * ” m f” them that the opinion they have expressed iu re Iu lion to lb- - p-ranon* ol ‘he mission ari-s in India, are a- diametrically to existing facts, as the Hindoo- are anttpo des in u- by geographical position. The Rev. Henry Townty, au Episcopal missionary to B--ng.il, m his Answer to the Abbe Dubois, page 94—5. * H >“ : “ With regard to the number ot Hindoo conveits resulting Irom the labours ot ihe Baiitiat iniHiionHries in Bengal, irom wiiat I Dave seen and heard at Calcutta, Seram pore, Cutwa, and other parts ol Bengal, they bnvp amounted to several hundreds. The Rev. Mr. Hough, Chaplain to the East India Company al the Madras station, and also an Epi-copal Missionary, gives id his reply to the same Abbe Dubois, the fol lowing statements: a| „ ,|| O ot dwell upon the native congre gations —amounting to about one hundred and sixty—assembled by the Baptist, Ihe Chinch, the Methodist, the London, the Scottish, and the American Missionary So cieties, in different parts of India,since they do not consist entirely of Christians. I will, however, state, that tho— societies -a enumerate nearly T HREE THOUSAND CONVERTS, who have lenouuced all itieir superstitions, have embraced the Christian ‘anh upon principle, are living according to the Saviour’s commands, and thus adorning -heir profession in me midst ot idolatry amt iniquity The strides! attention is paid m (heir moral conduct; and when it is uot in ■ nntormity with their piofes-ion, they ar -upended and denied the privilege ol com i union, until the missionary is satisfied a <> the sincerity oi their repentance. Many have died in the faith, and given every proof that divine grace had regenerated heir hearts.” “Here I might close my argument with numph. But I have not done. There i -i b-.dy ot Christians in South India to which I have not referred. They are the Iruii* of the labours of the Danish missionaries at Tianqnebar, and the German missionaries of ihe Christian Knowledge Society, and have been convert-d at different periods during the last century. They occupy eight principal stations—Vepery, Taujore, Tranquebar, Trichmopoly, Titmeyvelley, Cnddalore, Madura, aDd Rumnad. They are to be found, also, in small numbers, scattered through many villages ot South India. M. Dubois ha 9 some acquaintance with thesp people; and he will, perhaps, know, that when I state them at 20,000. I estimate them far below -heir actual uuai her.” LATEST FROM BUKMAH. Calcutta papers to the 20'h of April have been received in this city, say- the New Yrk Commercial Adver’iser, which give account of the capture -if Arracan hy Brig. Gen. Morrison. The excellent posi tion of the enemy (the Burmese) no a pen t-ula, whose sleep bank* were covered with -harp stakes, required great and spirited preparations and enetgy to carry it. The attack was made at night, and Ihe enemy’* ~'<.k.ijr carried without a man being kil led. The Burmese troops amounted to 10.000, under Aiuwn Mungza, and were so nearly annihilated that scarcely 1,000 will ever reach Ava. The divsion under Sir Archibald Campbell had reached Sarave, 112 n-iles from Rangoon, without losing a atari, & was waiting for the arrival ol Gen. Co!U-u, of whom no accounts, since the capture of Palarg, had been received oh the 4th of March. An account of the de feat of this General had appeared in the Calcutta Gazette. He attacked the ene my’s position at Donabew, on the 18th at Pagoda, but f-'utid it prudent to end-ark and dress down 4 miles below, uhtil rein forced. Los* in killed and wounded 139, including Captains Rose and Cannon of the 89th. A later accent from Rangoon says, that Gen C. bad been often attacked since he left Donabew, which is said to be (he strongest hold in the Empire. The enemy’s war-boats had become formidable. These account* add. that, by mistake, Sir Atchi bald passed Donabew many miles without knowing it ; but i said to have returned and joined Gen. C. A grand attempt is to be made on D-mabew, which is also pro tected hy a broad river. Bussein was ta ken on the4ih of March, the Burmese driv mg away the pnpula'ioo themselves, and retiring after setting fire to he iowd [Columbian Star. MISSIONS. We are indebted to the Rev. Reuben Reynolds for the following extracts of a letter from the Rev. Alvin Torry,a Medio diet Mi-sionary among the Indians, on the Grand River U C. which was written to his brother residing in Norwich N. Y. dated Agust 13,1825. Much has been said by those who are opposed to missions on the impracticability of Christianizing the abort gine9 of thi* country—hut we think no one will, after reading the following extract have the boldness to say that missions among the native* are a usHes waste of time aud money. No, he would rather rejoice to this great work, and himself “come up to help the Lord,” bringing bi* offering, and sacrificing it at the altar of missions: Dear Brother , ••Such extraordinary outpourings of ‘he Spirit of God have probably not been witne*sed since the days ol the Apostles.— Las’ Sabbath I had the satt*(aciion of bap ‘iseing forty five Indians.who had lately pro tensed faith m Christ We have one him •ired Indians in one society, and a very pro -nising school at the mis-ion house. lam about to set off for the West, to establish another mission, nearly sixty miles from ni*, and build a bouse for that purpose.— The subject of Indian mission* ha- become so popular, so inieresiiug and important, • ha! the governor of the province propo*-* oi a*si*t.
