Can il be possible that there is one heart on
earth that does not beat with the high and he
" impulses of hope2 Can il be possible that
there is one bosom, SO saddened by the dark
and threatening clouds Of adversely, that no
ray ofhope can pierce the gloom within. Sure
ly not.


As the gently distiling dews Of a summer
night tend TO enliven and invigorate the thirsty
and parching plant, SO do the pleasures Of hope
animate and enliven the most disquieted heart
and afford the sweetest consolation. Say, wha,
is hope? but the returning consolation and
support of those from whom il has wandered
for moment surrendering its hold to the bit
ter pangs Of anguish and despair. MI D


To the sick, il whispers health and haPpi-
ness. To the young, it promises greatness,
and usefulness in after life. In the dark and
startling catalogue ofhuman suffering, there is
scarcely one species Of misery 50 weighty in
its pressure, as to shut out from the bosom the
cheering beams Of hope. There is no one,
whose sky may not be spanned by the variega-
ted and beautiful bow Of hope. .a


And while the hope of the hypocrite shall
PERISH the hope OF the Christian shall be as
burning light to his pathway through this lite
and afording also the bright prospect Of a
better life in the world TO come.

When will this "FYiendo w. H., right up
in reference to us and our affairs We inform
him that his numerals are still incorrect. The
important matter. which we would wish him
to prove is the larger Of these numerals in his
first notice. With regard 70 the fact WHICH he
now assumes in reference TO our paper being
profitable concern, aud that we will soon be
called upon to give another thousand dollars
towards new church. Here also, he is little
al fault. However. as he calls US "Friesld,"
and "good natured," we must be mild with
him, or perhaps he may be found out in ano-
ther mistake


What may be the calls upon us in regard to
churches or other benevolent..objects. we know
not, but Of one thing we are confident,
there will be a sufficient number Of calls upon
our iberality to keep the profits Of our paper
from being burthensome to US.
