meat , the graces of the Christian were happily pourtrayed ; whilst those of her appointed stations in life , shone with a peculiar brilliancy , In the domestic circle , affection , tenderness
and fidelity , endeared her to a husband in whom she found a kindred mind , and to a numerous progeny which refleet the virtuous image of their revered parents . Her social partner , left her at the call of God , to tread ,
for a few years , the vale of widowhood . How was the gloom of this woe-fraught state relieved , by the affectionate assiduities of her companions in grief ! The only contest
between her children , appeared to be excited by a virtuous emulation of Tying with each other , in displays of filial affection , sympathy and devotion . Rich and unceasing was the consolation she derived from their united and unwearied endeavours to mitigate

the throes she endured—and to soothe her mind , amid the increase of a malady which baffled human skill . The solemn event of her dissolution , she anticipated with the sacred submission and the cheering hope of a true believer in Jesus Christ : —adding
by her Christian life and death , another proof to the thousands upon imperishable record , of the power of pure religion and the charms of primitive Christianity , to support the mind and to animate the soul , amid the severest trials of . humanity—and to
induce the dying Christian to quit the world with the assured hope , that having sweetly slept in Jesus , until the morning of the resurrection , she shall rise to behold the unveiled , the glorious , the ravishing scenery of immortality . PPrescot , Oct . 24 , 1815 .

here , have issued a manifesto against us : it is really a curious representation : the more intelligent among their ministers , with all their orthodoxy , are ashamed of it . I took an early opportunity of
giving an account of the opening of our Church to the Rev . Mr . Cary , Dr . Freeman ' s colleague at King ' s Chapel , Boston y and have received in return a most friendly and animating reply . We wished much to have visits from
the Boston ministers ; but three of their churches are vacant , and two of them in ill health , so that I fear we cannot soon be gratified . Notwithstanding what Mr . Parkman has written on the subject , Dr . Freeman and Mr . Cary are as aVowed Unitarians ,
as the late Mr . Lindsey and Dn Disney . Dr . F . is considered as the father of Unitarianism in the Eastern States . My excellent friend Mr . Cary says , " Dr . F . feels quite triumphant on the present event , " alluding to the erection of our church—all the
Congregational Ministers of Boston , with two exceptions , arc antitrinitariansand they rest for salvation on the mercy of God , and not , as Mr . P . states , on the merits of Christ , &e-Mr . Crundy has written an excellent letter to him in a late Number of th « Repository .

FOREIGN . Unitarians in Afnerica . WE hope from the re-establishment of peace that our correspondence with America will be renewed , and that we shall have from time to time to give good accounts of our Unitarian brethren in the United
States . We here present our readers with a few extracts from our last letters , relating to the Church at Philadelphia . Philadelphia , March 29 , 1813 . " It is perhaps well for us that we meet with opposition , and are assailed
by calumny . Although , as you will perceive from our hymn-book , we have a considerable number of hymns relative to Christ and Christianity , and although we have inscribed over our pulpit , John xvii . 3 , " This is life eternal , " &c . many persons still
maintain that we are infidels ; and several pulpits in this city resound with declamations against our proud and hau ghty spirit , and the damnable tendency of our doctrines These things are not to be regretted on our account ,
for they tend to keep our zeal from getting cold ; we are only sorry that aiiy persons should expose themselves by such misrepresentations . The Baptist association , at their late meeting
