he advances considerations which can scarcely fail of animating the serious reader to zeal for " the faith once-delivered to the saints ; " while , at the same time , as every 6 ne who knows the preacher would expect , he endeavours to temper zeal with charity .

object of worship , and he must contend successfully with such Trinitarian readers as will allow plain scriptural testimony its due authority . He concludes his sermon with part of the Athanasian doxology , applying it of

THE PROGRESS OF NOVEMBER . An Ode . By a Lady . [ From Moore's " Full Inquiry into Suicide , " 4 to . Vol . I , pp . 352—35 £ > . ] Now yellow Autumn ' s leafy ruins lie In faded splendor on the desert plain , Far from the noise of madding crowds I fly To wake in solitude the mystic strain : A theme of import high I dare to sing , While Fate impels my hand to strike the trembling string . Bright on my harp the meteors gleam , As glancing through the night they shine ; Now the winds howl , the ravens scream , And yelling ghosts the chorus join : Chimeras dire from fancy ' s deepest hell Fly oer yon hallow ' d tower , and toll the passing bell . November hears the dismal sound , As slow advancing from the pole , He leads the months their wintry round : The black ' ning clouds attendent roll , Where frown a giant-band , the sons of care , Dark Thoughts , Presages fell , and comfortless Despair . O ' er Britain ' s isle they spread their wings , And shades of death dismay tbe land ; November wide his mantle flings , And lifting high his vengeful hands , Hurls down the demon Spleen ; with pow e rs combjrrd To check the springs of life and crush th' e ^ ee bled mind . Thus drear dominion he maintains , Beneath a cold iji clement sky , While noxious fogs and drizzling rains On nature ' s sick ' ning bosom lie : The op ' ning rose of Youth untimely fades , And Hope ' s fair friendly light beams dimly through the shades .
