At first, my horse refused, I perse vered and lu soon becaino reconciled to his fare. The change for tho better was manifest in less than a ee!t.

While wo arc disponed to allow, to their full extent, the pleasured of literary pursuit, anil the important advantages ol intellectual illumi nation, it must he confessed, that man has wants which nothing; can supply, and woes which no thing1 can relieve, hut the sanative influence of religion. What can moderate linger, resentment, ma lice, or rcvenoe, like the thought that wo may ask (iod to toreive our trespasses only as wc for L'ive' liic trespasses of others ! What can quiet inurmurings at our lot, like the deep sense of moral dement which the gospel prcs.--er on the conscience !

' Hut it is on man, in his social capacities, and j political relations, that moral principle is desti- j ncd to exert its mest important influence. It i is in society that man lias power. It is in soci j rty, that virtue devrlopes its benevolent ten- dencies, and that vic scatters fire-brands, ar t rows, and death. Has the example ot rice j wrought powerfully 1 so has that of virtue.

It j is true, there can be no permanent change in : thctomner and i-toral conduct rf a man, tliht is 1 not derived from the understanding and the w ill; ! hut we must remember that thrse two powers i of the mind are most assailable when they are j attacked 'thrrinsh the avenue of the passions; ' and these we know, when agitated by the pow- ers of eloquence, exert a mechanical action up ' on every power of the soul. Hence we find in every Age and country where Christianity lias been propagated, the mofct accomplished orators have generally been : the most successtul reformers ot mankind. , There must be a defect of eloquence in a prea- cher, who, with the resources for oratory w hich aie contained in thfi Old and New Testaments, does not produce in every man who hears him, at least, a temporary love of virtue. I grant the eloquence of the pulpit alone can not change men into Christians, but it certain ly posse -ses the Kjvrr of changing brutes inta men.
