travagant imaginations and inconsistent

 medley ideas and after continuing hour. in this inactive, irrational state, should iI an instant recover it's reason and activity must, to every one who thinks oft, appear very wonderful. Whence is it that when we haye once lost our active powers, we do not remain incapable of. action ?---

 Whence is it that when our thoughts hayo once got from under our command, and become as extravagant as the waking thoughts of madmen, that we ever recover the command of them again and become Irrational agents?

 What but the wisdom of tho Almighty regulates this intermission of reason and action, for repairing tho vigor ofthe body, and the reasoning powers of a mind unit ed to an animal body and what but his kindness, when these purposes are unan- lswered by the temporary suspension, rcrs stores us again to reason and activity r. lsWhat considerate person, The could not ldepend upon God for being restored to these, must fear in sleep to lose his pow CTS of intelligence and motion must repeat this important but unheeded. truth, nothing but our being accustomed toit can well hinder us from regarding this change from waking to sleep, as ono of tho most wonderful occurrences in nature.

 What can bemore reasonable than that on our awaking in the morning to health and reason, to behold the beauties of the creation, which the hand of God presents anew for our entertainment, and to enjoy anew variety of blessings supplied by his bounty, and to renew under his conduct our pursuits of glory, honorsan immortal ity?

It comes upon the soul in the bu-I " bus,lo ofiife, in the social circle, in the calm and silent retreats of solitude. It's powers are alike supreme oycr the weak and iron hearted. Atone time it.is caused by the fitting of a single thought across the mind. Again, sound will come booming across the ocean of memory I gloomy and solemn as the death knell, Ioyershadowing all the bright hopes and sunny feelings of the heart. Who can de- scribe it, and yet who has not felt its be- wildering influence? Still it is delicious sort of sorrow; and like cloud dimming the sunshine of the river, although causing u momentary shade of gloom, it enhances tho beauty of returning brightness.

 Eyen;ng. g.-There are two periods in the life of man, in which the evening hour is peculiarly interesting. ID youth, we love it for it's mellow moonlight, its then ricf

 and soothing shades. it's still serenity q mid these we can commune with our love

 or twine the wreaths of friendship. while

 there is none to boar us witness but ths

 heavens and the spirits that hold thoir ond' less sabbath there; or look into the deer

 bosom of creation, spread sabroad like canopy above us, and look and listen till we can almost see and hear the waving winds and melting songs of other worlds. To youth, evening is delightful, it accords with the flow of his light spirits, the fervor of his fancy, and tue softness of his heart. Evening is, also. the delight of virtuous age; it affords hours of nndisturbed con- compilation it's seems an emblem of the calm and tranquil close of fbusy life serene and mild, it spreads it's quiet wings over the grave, and seems to promise that all shall be peace beyond it. @ An upright and iadependent Judicidry.-- When tie King of Prussia had determine ed to build what is called the new palace I of Sans Souci, his plan was to connect the new building with the old by a pleasure ground. "A mill occupied part of the ground which he wished to include in his

 new garden. He offered to buy it, and pay for it considerable more than its value. The miller refnsed to part with it, and de- claved lse would not leave the mill which l had descended to him from his forefathers. The king himself, in one of his walks, con- verssd with the miller on the subjects and becoming at length irritated with the mans obstinacy, he said to him " You seem not to be aware that ! am master, and can take by force what you refuse to give up to me- ' |"Oh," replied the miller, <. you cannot lfrighten mo in that way--we have judges Lat Berlin" Frederick was SO pleased with I.t. .....,.. .has kn ahandonAd the nIar
